From YT poster...

'In 1990, one particular conservative party member, Bill Galbraith, found himself doorstepped by the media after calling fellow MP John Taylor a 'bloody nigger'. For some reason, Galbraith decided not to face the cameras. Maybe it was a lack of eloquence and courage, or the realisation that thick-headed bigots don't come across well on TV, we'll never know. All we can do is be thankful for the stand-in performance given by his wife.

This is one of my favorite ever clips. It's one of those real-life moments which couldn't be scripted.'

This is great. Too much spoilage in the comment, but fortunately I read it after I viewed the clip.

As the old childhood rhyme went:

A tisket, a tasket, a head in a basket. It does not respond to questions that you ask it.

The other thing that came to mind was: "Look! It's Buckethead's mum!"

Head in a basket != dick in a box.
