Charles Kennedy has lamented the limited amount of political humour on display at this years' Lib/Dem conference, saying that if reflects a defensive political mood in the country.
He told the BBC that "The public needed a bit of humour in a time of austerity."
This would be so easy to parody that I'm not going to bother, not least because he does actually have a point.
I would never have survived being involved in politics for thirty-five years (and counting) without a sense of humour. The ability to laugh at the situation - and ourselves - is one of the things that keeps life bearable and helps us to carry on.
