    I have long been amused by the name (and hair, for that matter) of Tory MP, Michael Fabricant - I know his surname doesn't mean 'liar' but it sounds as though it should.

    No it isn't. There is no N in your anagram. Still, if it gets your rocks off...

    It has to be Balls. The man was a godsend to sub-editors, who got to come up with headlines like "Balls to the Home Office" "Balls to Education" "Balls to the Treasury" every time there was a reshuffle.

    Haha yeah, Balls. :p

    I could just imagine Tony Blair writing out his Christmas card list and trying to keep a straight face.

    "Ladyman"

    "Darling"

    "Balls"

    "Hilary" (Benn)

    And my mate at MI6....

    "Dearlove"
    :D

    "Balls To Poverty". Something to hope for- it's a kids charity.

    Not a politician but until about 2 or 3 years ago ITV Wales had a political correspondent by the name of Nick Speed who, of course often reported from Cardiff Bay.
    The presenters and / or scriptwriters took great pains to avoid using the phrase "Nick Speed in Cardiff Bay".
    It was rather funny to say the least. :D
