Listening to the Queen reading her leisurely seven-minute speech from the throne, it was hard not to imagine ministers ransacking the attic, dusting off odd bits of legislative furniture with which to spruce up an empty room. Not even the first tentative steps towards the creation of a national care service – 61 years after the National Health Service – raised more than a one-handed clap...

Looking back over my notes from last nights show, it's funny to see I obviously had some prejudgements regarding Insane in the Brain , a 'street dance version of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest ' by Bounce .
