It's funny how these things crop up at the right time. Just as I dive in to defend my comedy hero, Stewart Lee, he's been proved right, and well ahead of the front bench yet again.

It's not so inconsequential, however, when teamed with the following clip from Lee's live show, Stand-Up Comedian from 2005, which, brilliantly, was filmed in Glasgow (his routine about Braveheart begins around 3.47 and continues into Part Two, here):
