Politics, as I’ve said a few times, is a funny old business. But every once in a while an MP comes along and attempts to raise the bar just that little bit higher. Ronnie Campbell is one such MP. In speaking up his support for National Fetish Day (yes, you read that right), Ronnie said:

"I must have a thousand [fetishes] but, hand on my heart, I couldn’t tell which is the most important one. Probably the horses."

Apparently though, Ronnie had misunderstood the meaning of the term fetish:

"Oh my God almighty! I thought a fetish was a worry, like worrying about backing the right horse."

Honestly, you really couldn’t make it up.
