STEP forward Mr Phil Woolas, our favourite Home Office minister.
And isn't it about time we knighted this man especially as he goes on a new crusade of slagging off the Office for National Statistics.
He claims it is playing politics by releasing data to the general public!
Heaven forbid should a statistics body release statistics - what were they thinking?
Oh, wait up, it seems the immigration minister is not happy they are releasing information about immigration figures specifically about the number of British residents born abroad. It is "naive" and "sinister", he says.
But let's get real here, isn't the real politics taking place by the minister himself by making an issue of this so publicly.
And in an era of "open Government", it should not matter if the public knows such information - we are legitimately allowed to have it. We don't live in a former Communist dictatorship, and we quite frankly find the minister arrogant and he has shown appalling judgement here himself.
This is bully-boy tactics of the first kind and I now welcome the Manchester student who recently and successfully threw a custard pie in Mr Woolas' face.
