Obituary: Mustafa Amin
Tuesday 15 April 1997
Amin was regarded as one of the fathers of Arab journalism. Unlike his fellow columnists and editors who always considered the "national interest" - which often meant the official foreign policy of the government - he made the ideas of free press and democracy paramount in his widely read column.
Last year, when most journalists were welcoming the Sudanese opposition leader Sadiq al-Mahdi to Cairo - the Egyptian government is at odds with the fundamentalist regime in Khartoum - Amin criticised Mahdi for being a non- democrat who violated human rights and muzzled the press when he was prime minister of Sudan. Although Amin was a strong opponent of fundamentalist violence, he often criticised the Egyptian security forces' heavy-handedness and the government extension of the emergency law dealing with Islamic terror groups, arguing that their terror was no excuse to violate the constitution.
In spite of the fact that he was himself tortured in jail during the time of President Gamal Abdel Nasser - an unconstitutional emergency military court in 1965 found him guilty of spying for the United States because of his contacts with American diplomats, and sentenced him to life imprisonment - Mustafa Amin never grew tired of proving to his wide readership that his pen was mightier than the dictator's sword.
The late President Anwar Sadat freed Amin in 1974 on the recommendation of an administrative panel who investigated the original verdict. Back in the newsroom of Al Akhbar which he had founded in 1944, Amin did not spare Sadat's government - nor the current administration of President Hosny Mubarak's that followed - from the sharp end of his critical pen; he was a true believer in democracy and the freedom and the independence of the Fourth Estate.
Born in Cairo in 1914, Mustafa and his twin brother Ali grew up in what is known as Beit el-Uma ("the Home of the Nation"), their maternal uncle's house, and today a museum. This uncle was their spiritual father: the nationalist Sa'ad Zaghloul Pasha was the founder of Al-Wafd, Egypt's largest political party, which in 1919 led a delegation to London, demanding that Britain evacuate its bases in Egypt. Upon his return from exile in 1922, Zaghloul Pasha won a landslide electoral victory to become the first prime minister of Egypt after it had severed its links with the Ottoman Empire. Zaghloul Pasha captured the imagination of all classes and united the minority coptic Christians with the Muslim majority. His contacts with world leaders like Mahatma Gandhi in India gave the twins an early interest in foreign policy: Gandhi's trip to England via the Suez Canal and his speech in Port Said was reported by them in their attempts to produce their own "independent" paper at school.
From a young age, the twins' idea of journalism became inseparable from the struggle for justice, equality, freedom and democracy, the principles for which the Wafd party stood. Mustafa Amin's byline first appeared in Cairo papers in 1928, and by the time he graduated from the American University in Cairo in 1934 he had become a respected columnist in the weekly Akher Sa'a ("Last Hour") magazine.
After finishing his higher education at Georgetown University in Washington DC in 1938, he became the editor-in-chief of Akher Sa'a, and a year later moved to Al-Ahram, the oldest and most prestigious Middle Eastern daily. He introduced objective and non- biased reporting and gave importance to news items according to their merit, rather than the political agenda of the day, which later led to confrontation with Nasser.
From the 1930s, Amin believed the American constitution to be the greatest piece of legislation known to mankind and struggled to model the Egyptian press on the free press in America. By the early 1940s he had a respected byline as a reporter and columnist, but in 1944 he took a leap into the unknown by resigning his secure post as editor of El-ethnin to launch, with his twin brother, the Saturday weekly paper Akhbar-el-Yom.
Based on the style of American Sunday papers, it still boasts the largest circulation of any weekly paper in the Middle East and the Arabic-speaking world. Four years later the two brothers launched the daily Al-Akhbar, which some 50 years on is the most popular daily newspaper in the Arabic- speaking world, again with the largest circulation. Within two years, the Akhbar el-Yom group took over Akher Sa'a, then in 1951 founded two weeklies, Akher Lahza and Al-Guil, a colour magazine for the young.
Mustafa Amin always believed that young people are a nation's greatest asset. His editorial brief to his staff was to implant the ideas of democracy and free speech in young readers' minds. This led to an early clash with Nasser's oligarchy who took over government in a 1952 military coup; then in 1960 Nasser nationalised the Akhbar El-Youm group along with other press organisations. Unlike other editors, however, who either toed Nasser's line or went along with his unconstitutional reforms and semi-police state, the Amins defended press freedom and opposed censorship.
Mustafa Amin's loyalty to his readership was illustrated in his famous 1961 telephone argument with Nasser when Akhbar El-Yom gave more prominence to Marilyn Monroe's suicide than to Nasser's latest speech. Amin argued that his readership survey indicated that readers were more interested in the Hollywood star than the President's speech which they had been forced to listen to or view the night before on all radio and television channels. In his autobiography, Five Years in Jail, he described his relationship with a regime that had no comprehension of free press.
After his reprieve by Sadat in 1974 he was restored to the editorship of Akhbar el-Yom in 1974, but from 1976, when his brother died, he concentrated on writing a daily column which was syndicated to many pan-Arab papers, including the prestigious Saudi-owned London daily Asharq-Alawsat. His choice of subject was always Egyptian, yet Arab readers loved his writings.
He was also the author of many political and non- political books and some of his semi-autobiographies and stories were turned into screenplays. He was awarded the Missouri Press Award in 1978. He also founded Lailat al-Qadar, a charity that assists the poor and needy worldwide.
In his last column, which appeared yesterday, he took a spiritual view that hearts and souls unite all humans whether they are friends or foes, thus differences and quarrels should be confined to ideas and opinions. To many Egyptian intellectuals his death has closed one of the most important chapters in the history of Egyptian press.

I'm remodeling my kitchen and will need to buy a new built in dishwasher. Any recommendations as to what brands or models? My budget allows about $350 for the dishwasher. The reason I'm asking is because when we bought this house we purchased all new appliances (9 yrs ago). Every single one of them had repairs that needed to be done. The portable dishwasher stopped pumping water out. The fridge doors constantly had to be levelled. My oven temperature gauge doesn't always work right. The touch buttons on the stove don't always work and the timer would go off at different times, even when we didn't set it. Sometimes it would go off in the middle of the night. So we used to unplug the stove after we used it. Its a gas stove with electric start and sealed burners. We paid a lot for the stove ($850) compared to the lesser stoves without sealed burners. (At least I think that is a lot of money for a gas stove) I never had the stove repaired, I just deal with it. The timer stopped beeping by itself for no reason so at least we can keep the stove plugged in now. I just didn't want to spend more money on that stove. This started happening about a year after I bought it. We had a repair on the upright freezer too. All of this happened within the first 5 years of ownership. So, I would like to get a decent, dependable dishwasher. We didn't buy the bottom of the line appliances; granted, they aren't stainless gourmet types, they are the basic, everyday type of appliance that the majority of people own. But, we didn't buy the cheapest or the most expensive (the stove was pretty much one of the higher priced stoves in the store though). I am almost convinced to buy the cheap ones from now on and just replace them instead of having them repaired. In fact, I bought an inexpensive washer and dryer about 20 years ago, and I still have the dryer; we replaced the washer a few months ago. So maybe my theory of buying a cheap dishwasher isn't too far off base. All I want is one that is dependable. I find myself saying that "they don't build them like they used to", which is what my dad used to say when we were kids. Its true, we do turn into our parents!

- dishwasher recommendations?
Hi! Have you looked at Kenmore dishwashers? I have many appliances from them (a fridge, microwave, 2 vacuum cleaners, dryer) and I am satisfied with all those products, which I have for more than 15 years. I currently have a GE dishwasher, and I hate it. It doesn't wash very good, and the motor has been replaced after the first year. Whirlpool also used to make good appliances, but I don't know it it's still the case. I know Kitchen Aid used to be very good when it was made by Hobart, but now they have been bought by Whirlpool. Hope this helps!
Frigidaire. We've used ours every day for thirteen years and it has never needed service. Buy the kind that washes on three levels.
Thanks for the input. This does help me a great deal. The three level dishwashers are a good idea? I wasn't sure if it was a fad that would prove to be useless. I just started to look at dishwashers in the past month and noticed the 3 level machines. I guess I'll take a closer look.
Consumer Reports list these 3 best buys: KitchenAid KUDIO1lL(BL)&Kenmore 1652(2)@$520 &Maytag MDB7600A(W)@$500.BUT,if you can put up with a little noise/loading flexibility for large items, then go for Kenmore 1563(2)@$400 or Kenmore 1552(2)@$330.All washed very good. On repair history, Kenmore had the fewest second only to Whirlpool That's it from the roving appliance reporter! I have been researching everything under our consumer report subscription--We are in the process of building a house. Hope this helps. Oh, Consumer Reports found the ******* brand of dishwasher cleaner was the best--not Cascade...and don't waste your money on jet dry, etc. . .doesn't work.

Gemayel, Pharaon and MP Serge Torsarkissian at a conference about Live Achrafieh in 2012. (The Daily Star / Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon Sunday called on political actors to keep Lebanon out of the regional conflicts to allow its citizens to prosper.
"From Live, Love Lebanon to Live Achrafieh, the slogans and titles say: Hold Lebanon apart [from regional crises]... and let the people live and be creative," Pharaon said, addressing crowds at Live Achrafieh, a public event hosted on Sassine Square, Beirut.
"[Ashrafieh] was not afraid of the terrorists who used to plant bombs in its neighborhoods then go sleep at their own homes," Pharaon said, implying terrorists who are residents of Lebanon. "And neither will it be afraid today of those who [plant] bombs and then sleep at hotels because no homes [accept to] host them."
The event was attended by MPs Nadim Gemayel and Serge Torsarkissian and representatives of Beirut's municipality and Ashrafieh's mukhtars.
Live Achrafieh had been postponed for a week because of the recent security events in the country. Commenting on that, Pharaon praised the security forces and their efforts to confront terrorism. These efforts contribute, he added, to the creation of "a new dynamic of refusing both terrorism and the disruption of the presidential elections."

Gobble Up These Deliciously Inscrutable 15 Seconds of New 'Mad Men' Promotional Footage, Draperheads
Fighting competing instincts to remind the world that the final season of his career-defining masterwork will soon debut and the crippling, Kleenex-box-over-the-wingtips-level paranoia over even the tiniest spoiler escaping his maximum-security mind-penitentiary, series creator Matthew Weiner has allowed the release of 15 seconds of Mad Men promotional footage. Which we, the Draper-starved masses wandering the murder-choked, antler-strewn backwoods of Louisiana until we're called back to late-1960s Manhattan, humbly and graciously accept as the beautiful gift as it is. Hey, look, it's Don! Hi, Don! Getting off an aeroplane! How have you been? Was it a nice flight? Where you headed? The weather looks really nice there, maybe you're visiting us in L.A.? What's that, you can't say? There's a bald man with a bunch of Emmys on the plane threatening to throw you out a Madison Avenue window in 2015 if you let any secrets slip? OK, then just put your fedora back on very slowly if everything is all right. Whew. Good. Don't get yourself hurt. Not yet.
Oh, hey, as long as we're talking, you have any idea who the new True Detectives are? You and Roger maybe? No? Just thought we'd take a shot, maybe you heard something on the plane. See you in April.

The pair worked together at Manchester City but their relationship soured following a Champions League tie with Bayern Munich in 2011, during which Tevez was accused of refusing to come off the bench.
Mancini, who had his contract with Galatasaray mutually terminated at the end of last season, emerged as a leading candidate to fill the vacant Juventus post after Antonio Conte's exit, but former AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has since been installed.
Tevez is claimed to have issued an ultimatum on his future if Mancini was to be given the job, but the 30-year-old has moved to deny the rumours and says leaving the club has not crossed his mind.
"I have never spoke with (Giuseppe) Marotta about this," Tevez said at a press conference.
"The club is based on respect and I doubt the thoughts of a player could change anything. Those who write these stories should have more respect.
"I have never thought to leave - I've signed for three years and I want to end my contract here, staying with my team-mates."
Speaking of Conte's exit, Tevez said: "I'm sorry Conte left, but he didn't disappoint me. I also wrote it on Twitter.
"We must be stronger as players and we must show that it has been the team who won, not only the coach, who helped us a lot.
"Allegri? I didn't know him, but we are working in a good way and this is the most important thing."

I am in the process of ripping up the 1/4 inch plywood that is on top of my subfloor. I am planning to replace it with 5/8 inch plywood. My first question is, should I put some kind of felt paper or something between the subfloor and the plywood? Also, when laying the plywood do I need to stagger the plywood so the corners do not meet. And finally, do I need to keep a 1/8 inch gap between the plywood? I am new at this, so any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
- Forum >
- Flooring & Stairs >
- Laying down plywood
answers in order. (1) no you don't need paper(2) yes you need to stagger joints (3)use a penney to make a gap(use as a spacer)
p.s. why are you replacing 1/4 plywood with 5/8? will that trap your dishwasher?

The 1/4 was old, very old. I just thought the 5/8 would be more sturdier. Actually this is going in a living room. I am planning to use vinyl tile.

Selected scientific papers of Sir Rudolf Peierls : with commentary by Rudolf E Peierls ( Book )
8 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 127 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book is a collection of the major scientific papers of Sir Rudolf Peierls (1907-95), including the Peierls-Frisch Memoranda of 1940 on the feasibility, and the predicted human effects, of an atomic bomb made of uranium-235. His papers range widely in topic. They include much on the fundamentals of solid state physics, the thermal and electric conductivity of materials as a function of temperature T (especially T→0), the interpretation of the de Haas-van Alphen effect observed for a metal in a magnetic field, and the basics of transport theory. Many are on problems in statistical mechanics, including his constructive paper demonstrating the existence of a phase transition for Ising's model for a two-dimensional ferromagnet. In nuclear physics, they include the first calculations (with Bethe) on the photo-disintegration of the deuteron (made in response to a challenge by Chadwick), the Kapur-Peierls theory of resonance phenomena in nuclear reactions, the Bohr-Peierls-Placzek continuum model for complex nuclei (which first explained the narrow resonances observed for low energy neutrons incident on very heavy nuclei), and the Peierls-Thouless variational approach to collective phenomena in nuclei. Several of Peierls's wartime papers, now declassified, are here published for the first time. Brief commentaries on most of the papers in this book were added by Peierls, to indicate subsequent developments and their relationship with other work, or to correct errors found later on. A complete bibliography of his writings is given as an appendix

4 editions published in 1929 in German and held by 56 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Collected works 1929-1952 by Niels Bohr ( Book )
13 editions published between 1986 and 2008 in 3 languages and held by 51 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
``Nuclear Physics'' deals with Bohr's work on nuclear physics which began in the pre-1932 days with his thinking deeply, but inconclusively about the seeming contradictions then presented by the evidence about the nucleus. In 1936, Bohr recognised and described the insights provided by neutron scattering experiments; the excitement of this new understanding and its extension and consolidation occupied much of the subsequent years. In 1939, he was again first in understanding the essential features of the newly discovered phenomenon of fission, applying successfully the point of view of nuclear reactions which he had developed over the past three years. Later, in 1949-50, he was impressed by the success of the nuclear shell model, which on the face of it seemed hard to reconcile with the picture of the closely interacting nucleons which he had pioneered in 1936. Bohr put much effort into clarifying this paradox

Colin Kaepernick gets plenty of help from Niners' defense in victory over Saints
Even if Colin Kaepernick's second start was hardly as spectacular as his first, he played well enough to extend coach Jim Harbaugh's quarterback...
NEW ORLEANS — Even if Colin Kaepernick's second start was hardly as spectacular as his first, he played well enough to extend coach Jim Harbaugh's quarterback quandary for at least another week.
With the 49ers' defense making big plays of its own, it might not have mattered who was under center.
Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner each returned interceptions for touchdowns, a pass rush led by Aldon Smith sacked Drew Brees five times, and San Francisco ended New Orleans' three-game winning streak, 31-21 on Sunday.
"We always want to be the best defense on the field, especially on the road," Whitner said. "When you play us, you are going to get hit. That's our identity: smart, hard-nose, physical football."
Kaepernick passed for 231 yards, including a short touchdown to Frank Gore. He also ran for a 7-yard score.
Niners coach Jim Harbaugh implied the decision to start Kaepernick had more to do with preserving Smith's long-term health than on performance, but he was noncommittal about who might start next week at St. Louis.
"The fact he had symptoms seven to eight days later, I'm not going to put a guy back out there," Harbaugh said of Smith. "He eventually got cleared. The plan was to rotate him back into the action (in practice), but not all the way to the front line. ... That would give him a chance to get cleared up completely."
Ravens stun Chargers
thanks to Rice's play
SAN DIEGO — This one was all but over, with the Baltimore Ravens trailing by three points and facing a fourth-and-29 from their 37.
All the San Diego Chargers had to do was get the stop and run out the clock for their first win against a team with a winning record this season. Amazingly, the Chargers found yet another way to lose.
"Check down, Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice up the middle," the Ravens running back said in describing the unbelievable play that helped the Ravens to a 16-13 overtime win against the staggering Chargers.
The ball originally was spotted at the 33. After a lengthy review, the ball was moved back to the 34 and the refs measured. The new spot still gave the Ravens a first down by the length of the ball.
Baltimore (9-2) increased its lead to three games over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. San Diego (4-7) was pushed closer to playoff elimination for the third straight season, and with it, mostly likely the end of the Norv Turner era.
Six plays later, Justin Tucker kicked a 38-yard field goal to tie the score at 13 as regulation expired. Tucker made another 38-yarder with 1:07 left in overtime to win it.
• Fireman Ed is hanging up his helmet. New York Jets fan Ed Anzalone wrote in a guest column for Metro New York newspaper that he will no longer lead the "J-E-T-S!" chants at home games or wear his firefighter's hat because "confrontations" between him and other fans "have become more common."

Why has everybody got it in for Labour's rising star Chuka Umunna?
Wikipedia rewrites, nightclub snobbery – it's been a tough run for the MP. So why has it hit now?
Oliver Wright
Oliver Wright is Whitehall Editor of The Independent.
Friday 12 April 2013
Being young, confident and clever helped propel Chuka Umunna from being a new backbench MP to Ed Miliband's top team in less than two years – as well as prompting comparisons with the rise of Barack Obama.
But this week the shadow Business Secretary discovered that being tipped for greatness can have its unpleasant sides. It makes you a glaring target for your political enemies.
Over the last few days Mr Umunna has attracted the kind of high-profile negative attention from the right-wing press which would unlikely to be inflicted on some of his more anonymous Labour colleagues.
He has been lambasted for comments he made six years ago about West End nightclubs. He has been accused of making alterations to his Wikipedia page to make it sound more favourable. And The Sun newspaper revealed details of what it described as "Chuk's £1m 'Ibiza pad'", owned by his mother, a solicitor.
Labour aides say they detect the hand of Conservative head office behind the stories – which they think have been part of a co-ordinated attempt to discredit him. They point out that all of his alleged misdemeanours pre-date both his time as the MP for Streatham in south London, and question whether they are being "dredged up" to undermine Labour's local election campaign.
The furore began at the end of last week when the Daily Mail reported that, far from being "a hard-working man of the people", he was in fact "happy to be a man of the social elite, with a distinct taste for the high life".
It revealed that Mr Umunna once belonged to an exclusive online club called ASmallWorld, where he posted comments bemoaning the lack of "decent" clubs in London's West End, writing: "Is it just me or is there a serious lack of cool places to go in central London at the weekends?
"Most of the West End haunts seem to be full of trash and C-list wannabes, while other places that should know better opt for the cheesy vibe."
Tory MPs were quick to attack him. Nigel Adams, a Conservative MP, said it looked like Mr Umunna, 34, "had more faces than Armani suits". Nadhim Zahawi MP said the shadow Business Secretay was "like many Labour MPs before him" who "love the glitzy wealthy lifestyle, but only in secret". A few days later The Daily Telegraph suggested that Mr Umunna might have edited his own Wikipedia page and on Thursday it emerged that someone in the law firm where he used to work had added the phase "UK's Barack Obama" to his entry.
All of the stories were quickly promoted by the Conservative Party press office which tweeted a link to The Sun, writing: "The £1m 'White House' of the – allegedly self-styled – 'British Barack Obama'."
It also tried to get the BBC to pick up on a previous story writing: "Interesting that ITV have done an online story on the Chuka Umunna trash story but the BBC has yet to squeeze anything on."
Labour sources said they feared it was part of a concerted campaign to discredit him. "This looks to us like it's being co-ordinated in an attempt to discredit Chuka," they said last night.
"There are a lot of MPs lining up to wade in and imply that he's a hypocrite. It's never nice to have these stories written but I suppose we should see it as a backhanded compliment."

I can get a great beer (1.045 ish or below) from grain to glass inside of 21 days.One Caveat: If I'm going to keg and chill, then plan to bottle some off using the BMBF and store those bottles at room temp...I'll give the beer more time in the fermenter at room temp first.
It seems there is just enough residual sugars in quick beers that returning them to room temp in bottles restarts CO2 production and overcarb'd beers.

Don't be shy of evangelising, archbishops tell Anglicans
Tuesday 22 June 2010
The Church of England's two most senior bishops have called on fellow Anglicans to embrace the Christian mission and not "fight shy" of converting people from other faiths. In an uncharacteristically evangelical statement from a church that has tended to avoid overt proselytising in recent decades, Dr Rowan Williams and Dr John Sentamu said Christians should not feel "embarrassed or awkward" about bringing others towards Christianity.
The two leaders, who are the archbishops of Canterbury and York, said they recognised that conversions are a contentious subject which often had a "shadow side" that "led to actions in Christ's name which have been inconsistent with Christ's own teachings". But they also called on fellow believers to be "up front" about the fact that Christians are expected to spread their faith to non-believers.
"In a society fixated on personal choice it is sometimes, paradoxically, frowned upon to promote one's own choices as good for others," the two bishops wrote. "But the fear of getting it wrong should never obscure the Christian's commitment to the good of all and to making Christ the centrepiece of that good."
Their words may cause alarm among some secularists and non-Christian faiths. But it will be music to the ears of the church's evangelical wing.
They also began a fresh effort to find a compromise over the contentious issue of women bishops.
Next month the General Synod will meet to discuss legislation which would result in the Church of England having women bishops as early as 2014. Traditionalists and Anglo-Catholics bitterly opposed the deal and have threatened to leave the church.
The archbishops' new amendment would include a separate all-male class of bishops that could operate semi-independently of any female colleagues in a parish.

Sunday 7 December 1997
No one's safe from his satire
New Labour has breathed new life into Britain's leading impressionist. PROFILE: Rory Bremner
The audience laughs. The piano collapses and we laugh again. Another statement has been issued from the comedic offices of the unofficial Leader of the Opposition. For sharp observations on New Labour or well-researched reminders of abandoned policies, there's little point relying on the House of Commons. Better to tune in to Channel 4 late on a Friday night, and watch Rory Bremner ... Who Else? His caricatures of Blair, Prescott, Brown, Cook, Harman - and best of all, his unearthly, computer-generated Peter Mandelson - are as sharp as That Was The Week That Was in its prime, or Spitting Image during the Thatcher years.
Now that the latex puppets have all been melted down and Radio 4's doomed topical revue Weekending is justifying a derisive respelling of its name, Bremner and his team have hit a rich vein of form. The impressionist and his regular guests, the veteran satirists John Bird and John Fortune, seem the only comedians consistently willing and able to express the doubts many are beginning to feel about the People's Government.
"The honeymoon is coming to an end," says Bremner, as a make-up artist applies the false ears and nose crucial to his impression of our prime minister. He admits running out of steam during the dog days of the Major administration, since it was difficult to come up with an act more ridiculous than, say, Neil Hamilton. But the new vigour of New Labour has meant a new challenge. "They have presented us with a surprisingly large target. Peter Cook said that for satire you needed a right-wing government. That's fine. That's what we've got."
When his latest series began in October, Bremner was a worried man. "I was seriously thinking that I'd hit a brick wall and run out of characters. But so far this year we've had Frank Dobson, Kirsty Wark, Betty Boothroyd, Mohamed Al Fayed, Michael Cole, William Hague ... and Peter Mandelson of course."
According to the show's producer, Jon Magnusson, the idea of a virtual reality Minister Without Portfolio seemed natural, "because he represents all of the virtual elements of New Labour. It is all image, trickery, sleight of hand and marketing."
One of the most telling sketches of the series was a recreation of Tony Blair's interview for On The Record in the wake of the Formula One sponsorship debacle. "It's all presentation," said Bremner as John Humphrys. "That's what won you the election. That's all New Labour is. It's what you do all day. Isn't it a bit much to say, 'Oh, it's a presentation problem,' now?"
As the sinister cartoon Mandelson hovered at his shoulder, the impressionist's Blair replied, "John, it can't be a policy problem ... we don't have a policy." The sketch ended with Mandelson collapsing as Blair proclaimed his desire to be the Prime Minister of People's Hearts.
"This autumn is very rich in irony," says Bremner, sliding into the precise, pious tones of Blair: "Thank God we're away from the era of a government that wasn't sure when and if it was going to get involved in a single currency; we're away from a government that was immersed in sleaze and stories of funding rows and donations; and away from stories about ministers having affairs with their secretaries. What a relief it is to find those days are behind us."
Laughing at his own characterisation, Bremner (as himself) adds, "If that isn't irony, I don't know what is. It is in that space between reality and image that irony and satire live. You've got the reality that has hit them in the last few weeks, and the presentation that they've been trying to push all summer, and somewhere between the two is our playground."
Whisper it, but in 1979 Rory Bremner voted for Mrs Thatcher's Conservative Party ("I was fresh out of public school. We needed a change, just as we did this year."). He has also voted for the Liberal Democrats and Labour in his time, but claims not to remember which of them won his backing on May 1.
"I know you think that's entirely disingenuous, but voting for the opposition where I live, in Kensington & Chelsea, is rather like shooting tanks with a peashooter. We knew Alan Clark was going to get it. And that's rather like having Leslie Phillips for your MP." Adopting the voice of the elderly charmer oozing over a pretty young filly: "He-llo ..."
Bremner was born in 1961, in Edinburgh. His father was an army officer, so young Rory was educated in Sandhurst, at Wellington College. He started acting in revues and cabarets while at King's College, London, where he graduated in French and German. Instead of attending lectures he appeared by day in satirical radio shows such as Weekending and LBC's News Revue, and by night learned his craft on the alternative cabaret circuit in London.
From early television appearances on The Tube, Spitting Image and Wogan, he graduated to his own BBC series. It was rather tame stuff, most notable for impersonations of people from the cricket world like Geoff Boycott and Richie Benaud; in 1985 he released a cricketing parody of Paul Hardcastle's hit record "19", which reached the Top 20.
Bremner continues to be passionate about the game. He is surprisingly tall and athletic, with wide shoulders and powerful-looking arms that must help his performances with the bat for the Lord's Taverners cricket team. It was at a Taverners dinner last week that he met the Conservative leader William Hague, who insisted on making his own speech after Bremner's. "I made a few jokes about Ffion meeting the convergence criteria for marital union. Then Hague came on and said, 'Well, nice listening to Mike Yarwood.' And how we laughed."
You get the impression that Mr Hague will be made to pay for the Yarwood reference, one way or another. Rory Bremner is not a man to be crossed: he seems an intense and thoughtful character, whose good breeding and manners do not disguise a tendency to get what he wants from those who work with him.
Gratuitous insults of MPs aside, Bremner did look to be following the same safe career path as Mike Yarwood until 1992, when he switched to Channel 4 and changed his act. It became sharper, more political, and won prizes: two Baftas and a British Comedy Award over five series. His portrayal of John Major as a forlorn figure trapped by circumstances and mutinous colleagues was rather more human and truthful than other less subtle satirists managed and sat naturally alongside Bremner's impressions of such minor television personalities as Trevor McDonald and the weatherman Ian McCaskill. They are still an important part of his act, leaven for the heavy political bread and a reminder that Bremner's intention is humour, not polemic.
Poking fun at the Conservatives led to him being asked to help Labour, a request he turned down. "I've got to be able to do things without fear or favour. You can't identify with a political party on a Thursday and take the piss out of it on Friday. Likewise, if Labour people have laughed for years at sketches we did about John Major, they can't turn around now and say, 'How dare you!'" Although they do, of course.
However, Bremner insists his show is not recorded in a moral vacuum. Last month his voice raised the profile of a campaign to help Crisis find premises in which to provide shelter for homeless people at Christmas. He has also performed in aid of sporting charities, Friends of the Earth, Transport 2000 and Greenpeace. Predictably, for a man who spends his whole life pretending to be other people, he does not like to be tied down to a single cause. "Also, I'm slightly ill at ease that a disease or cause is not accorded any attention unless there's a celebrity attached to it. That shows the primacy of personality above issue - but it's all very well me saying that, when my whole career is based on the enjoyment and celebration of personalities."
This Series, like those before it, has drawn on the experience of Bird and Fortune, who have been ribbing the Establishment for as long as Bremner has been alive. Their meticulously researched dialogues routinely exposed the hypocrisies of the Major government, and look like doing the same to Labour.
Bremner's own long-standing writing partner is John Langdon, an unassuming man with a drooping moustache and lugubrious style whose body language says he was born to be behind the scenes. They were thrown together by a BBC producer during the Edinburgh festival 12 years ago. Langdon's job seems to be quality control, reining in Bremner's enthusiasm and wading through the many jokes sent in by freelance writers each week. On the studio floor he and the star of the show seem telepathic, communicating with nods and grunts, and finishing each other's sentences.
The producers, Geoff Atkinson and Jon Magnusson, are also part of the team, which decides on a Monday which topical issues it will tackle, writes material on a Tuesday, and records sketches on Wednesday. On Thursday the monologues are recorded before a live studio audience in Wembley, and on Friday the show is edited down before transmission. Langdon shares his partner's belief that New Labour has set itself up for parody, "in the same way nouvelle cuisine set itself up. That was French for, 'Fucking hell, is that all you get?' This is Nouvelle Labour."
Like Bremner, he has a special place in his heart for the virtual Peter Mandelson. "What is this creature of darkness?" asks Langdon. "Mandelson is the reincarnation of Gerald Ratner [former head of a chain of jewellery shops, deposed after an indiscreet speech]. One day he's going to say, 'Well, the Labour Party's a load of old crap ... oops!' And it will all be over."
The next day Bremner left a message on my answering machine.He had been thinking about our discussion of the Government, and had something more to say. "You've got Labour holding to Conservative economic policies, and the Conservatives criticising them for the very same policies that they had when they were in government. And they think we're cynical?
"Ultimately, it's a change of cast, isn't it? The script hasn't changed. It's a mirror image. At least we've got better jokes than they have."

Lake District 'top UK Easter break'
Monday 18 April 2011
The Lake District looks like being the top UK destination for travellers over the Easter and royal wedding bank holidays, it was revealed today.
And for those going abroad the most-popular spot is Malaga in southern Spain.
The Lake District topped the list of places people were most likely to travel to by car over the next two weekends, according to a poll by insurance company esure.
The next most-popular spot was Brighton followed by the north east coast of England and Bournemouth.
The poll of 1,025 British motorists also showed that 8% plan to travel more than 500 miles over the two weekends, with drivers spending an average of four hours 30 minutes in their cars.
Of those surveyed, 74% always expected delays over a bank holiday weekend and 60% reckoned jams were getting worse.
As many as 35% said they would consider a holiday abroad rather than in the UK to avoid the traffic.
For those who actually are travelling overseas, Malaga is the most-popular destination, according to budget airline easyJet.
The no-frills carrier said that after the southern Spanish city, the next favourite destinations were Madrid, Paris, Faro in Portugal and Amsterdam.
EasyJet UK director Paul Simmons said: "The double bank holiday offers the perfect opportunity to get away from it all, and therefore it's no surprise that Malaga is the most popular destination for British travellers during this period."
More than 200,000 passengers are expected to depart from Stansted airport in Essex over the Easter weekend.
Among popular destinations from Stansted this Easter are Belfast, Turkey and Hanover in Germany.
Stansted's operations director Martin Lyall said: "Rules on liquids in hand luggage have been in place since 2006 but some passengers still come unprepared, spending what should be valuable time relaxing before their flight, getting ready for security checks and delaying people behind them in the queue."
British Airways said it would be flying 95,000 passengers to Easter destinations on Thursday while 80,000 would be travelling away with the airline on royal wedding day, April 29.
BA said its most-popular long-haul destinations were New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Miami, followed by Johannesburg.
Nearer to home Edinburgh, Paris, Barcelona, Rome and Amsterdam were the favourites.
BA said there was still some availability on destinations such as Istanbul, Nice, Madrid, Prague and Jersey.
