Why isn't John McCarrick on channel 4 racing?
As I remember there was a difference of opinion and he was given the boot. It was less than a year ago. Extract from The Guardian Sport Horse racing Should Channel 4 have gone further and dispensed with John McCririck completely? The ebullient racing pundit said he was 'humiliated' by the decision to reduce his contribution by 25%, comparing it to Liverpool dropping Steven Gerrard. But would it be better if he disappeared from Channel 4 Racing entirely? God bless you John:)

Who was the British Prime Minister on the day you were born in 1994?
As it happens I was born many years before 1994, BUT in any case, the Prime Minister throughout that year was Conservative John Major. He had been Margaret Thatcher's Chancellor, but replaced her when she resigned in November 1990.
He took Britain through the Gulf War and was Prime Minister during the collapse of the Soviet Union, being elected in his own right in the election of May 1992. But his government was forced to take Britain out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and devalue the pound sterling later that year, due to Britain being unable to maintain interest rates at the level they were in Germany. This was known as 'Black Wednesday', when billions of pounds were wiped of UK shares- the UK was forced to renegociate it's terms of European membership under the Maastricht Treaty.
Major also failed to intervene to prevent the execution of British-American Nick Ingram in April 1995; Ingram was a British national but had an American father, and had been imprisoned since '83 for the murder of a shop owner during a robbery. He was sent to the electric chair in Georgia at the age of only 31- his was one of the last executions to be carried out in the US using the chair, and resulted in Major being held in contempt and disgust by many British citizens.
He lost the 1997 election to Tony Blair's New Labour party, who won a landslide majority.
