Yep........the word 'Precocious' could have actually been thought up just to describe Joel. It describes him to an absolte tee!!!
I wonder whether if he doesn't win he'll try and make a big fuss about coming out in an attempt to snatch a little bit of press or maybe a story in Hello magazine to salvage something out of the situation. Would-be politicians are never ones to miss out on even the slightest press opportunity.
