Prescott can be a plonker, but I like this lunchtime quote on the resignation of Rebekah Brooks:

The former deputy prime minister said that, in her resignation letter, Brooks talked about not being able to remain "on the bridge". As a former seafarer, he found this strange, he said. "I would not like her on the bridge, if she did not know what was going on, where she was going or what direction it was."

Or where her navigational information seemed to be coming from.

The other thing about that metaphor is that, as Master, you are responsible for whatever your crew is doing, including criminal activity. Whether you know about it or not.

As a former sailor, I had a chuckle at that as well.
