FAB?

"Brains", indeed! Hardly!

But International Rescue is more than amusing. It is a way into making an important point.

Tony Blair was of the Thunderbirds generation: it was an entirely British project, but the good guys nevertheless had to be given American accents in order to appeal to British children.

Blair was one such child, and that explains a very great deal about both his domestic and his foreign policies.

Whereas Gordon Brown probably did not watch children's television until the birth of his own children, in his fifties. If then. He certainly will not have had his entire view of the world defined by it.

Meanwhile, David Cameron's entire view of the world was apparently defined by watching Grange Hill while at Eton. Again, that explains a very great deal.
