A Red Letter Day on which Nige is Hot

... not one, but two big, headline-grabbing, agenda-setting, zeitgeist-defining 'news' stories are revealed to be, in essence, the proverbial inverted pyramid of piss. England cricket coach Bob Woolmer did not, in fact, suffer any of the various murders detailed in the media, but died of natural causes. And the Dutch Big Brother-style kidney donor show was a hoax dreamt up to publicise the shortage of available kidneys. How many more stories are going to be similarly deconstructed over the coming weeks? The Cameron grammar school prank? The Labour deputy leadership contest - surely that's not actually happening? The Hirst skull? Me I'm too hot to think...
