Lie detector tests - if they're good enough for claimants, they're good enough for Cabinet ministers!

So benefit claimant are to face lie detector tests. Apart from the sheer obnoxiousness and bullying of such a proposal, I can but wonder why stop there.

Perhaps every year we could have Cabinet ministers and senior advisors submit to extensive lie detector tests. We could make them retrospective ragarding the Iraq War followed by trials of those who misled the nation.

Oh sorry I forgot, it's only the little people who should face such indignities! Pass the sick bowl!
