I kinda like Rod Liddle's thing today:

Favourite lines being: "Has there ever been an occasion when so many blameless lives have been lost for the sake of such a witless and banal cause? Two hundred dead and hundreds more injured. Over Miss World. Your heart sinks at the numbing idiocy of it all. The chief organiser, Stella Din, told me during a Radio Five Live interview that she would happily stage the event in Nigeria next year and that the rioting was nothing, really, to do with them. It is not permissible, unfortunately - even on late-night radio - to call an interviewee a moron."
