This morning on Radio 4, the affable reggae singer Jimmy Cliff was interviewed, and asked what he thought of the Conservatives adopting his hit "You can get it if you really want" as their anthem.

He replied that he never endorsed any political party, observing that "the word politics comes from 'poly' meaning many, and 'ticks' - blood-sucking insects".

Of course it doesn't - but in some ways his explanation is close to the truth!

You can hear the clip for a few days.
