So 1 in 10 Brits voted UKIP last week?
Seems like the media can’t stop drivelling on about it. And people can’t stop drivelling about the media coverage.
Yet – amidst all the tumult and the shouting – here is one fact the media have missed reporting . As they have, consistently, for years and years and years.

On duty – responsible for someone’s life – many for the full 168 hours a week, week in, week out. It is quite as dreadful as it sounds. You have difficulty with everything: working, sleeping, socialising, existing. Paying bills. Getting out. You don’t tend to get luxuries like bank holidays. And, no, you don’t get used to it.
