PEELING FOR WAR
By Ian Mackinnon
While preparing dinner, Ian tries to imagine himself in an Iraqi man's shoes. Would they be peeling their potatoes and praying for the world to come and bomb Saddam? He reckons it is more likely that they, like everybody else, are not happy with the politics in their country - but just have to live with it.

Joe Jenkins
Too true - as a dad I look at my two year old son and I think "I'll look after him - I don't need these two, one in a stetson the other in thrall, to take care of my little boy by chasing politicians - ones that they were pals with once upon a time. I will look after my boy and I do not want to be bombed by highly paid merchants of death yet again - after all the British started bombing my grandfather and his only son in 1920" keep on peeling those spuds - I would love to come around for egg and chips to your caravan. Any chance of an invite - and have a chat to camera?

Darren Ross
First of all, I agree entirely with Mr Mackinnon. Second, he is very easy to listen to. Please, BBC, give this man his own show.
