DISTINGUISHED-SOUNDING BRITISH GUEST (TOFF): There's a great change in the mood of the British people at the moment, knowing that our troops are getting massacred over there.

That was Martin Balls. Former BBC reporter and erstwhile Member of Parliament. I remember when I was at school, I was watching him live on telly, years ago during the lunchtime news, reporting from the Bosnio-Serbistan warzone, doing a piece to camera wearing a blue helmet and a bullet proof vest, when a mortar landed near his position and he got a piece of shrapnel in the nuts. Ouchie, ow, oo. Cut back to the studio. Pat's about talking to an equal, it's quite exciting for him.

GUEST (hack): (Said "black" when she surely meant to say "Afro-Hibernian").

Thus was identified Stockholm Syndrome or capture-bonding:
On August 23rd, 1973 two machine-gun carrying criminals entered a bank in Stockholm, Sweden. Blasting their guns, one prison escapee named Jan-Erik Olsson announced to the terrified bank employees "The party has just begun!" The two bank robbers held four hostages, three women and one man, for the next 131 hours. The hostages were strapped with dynamite and held in a bank vault until finally rescued on August 28th.
