Kasabian guitarist 'warming to Hogg'

Serge Pizzorno has suggested that Conservative MP Douglas Hogg thinks everyone in England owns a moat.

The Kasabian guitarist told Uncut that he is warming to the politician since reports emerged regarding his alleged £2,000 expenses claim to clean the moat at his Kettleburgh Hall country estate.

Pizzorno said: "I bet Douglas Hogg thinks everyone in England has got a moat. I bet everyone he knows has a moat. To be honest, I quite like the idea that he finds it impossible to do any work unless he's got a clean moat.

"I have visions of him sitting around in one of those dressing gowns that looks like a sleeping bag, smoking expensive cigarettes through a cigarette holder and wondering how a gentleman can lift a finger with a filthy moat to worry about."

He added: "I am definitely warming to Douglas Hogg MP. It's a shame he's not a lord, then he'd be Lord Hogg. It'd sort of complete the picture."
