Recently I was interviewed by Sleazenation, a style magazine. At one point I told the interviewer that if Messrs Hussein, Bush and Blair all got their hair bleached and side-parted, and starting wearing eyeliner, the world would be a safer place. My contribution to the Stop The War cause. More Waugh, less War. I haven't been violent to anyone in my life, so it must work.
A glib remark, granted. And in the unlikely event of such makeovers actually happening, their unkind behaviour might not be mollified in the slightest. But at least Newsnight would look more interesting.
