He says the right things - after all it's hard not to hit a big motionless target like a Tory dough mountain - but its so clearly rhetoric when real substance is needed. And by substance I mean a sense of outrage or dismay that might have scared Andrew Marr into pressing the panic button for security. That MIGHT have made me think it mattered.
I just can't get past the political career ladder I see in the background every time he is talking.
He was on BBC's Andrew Marr show this morning, and the ladder was extending ever upward with each rung rattling and creaking under the strain. Even when his host gave him the opportunity to back out from posturing and comment on Michael Heseltine's initiatives constructively he didn't take the opportunity... or put another way he took the bait, and swung in both barrels of his potato gun popping... silly billy, as one of his predecessors might have said.
It's not encouraging when they boys with the conch are described (admirably) by one of their own party as rich toffs who don't know the price of milk, but the opposition can't do better than hoisting smug catapults of fresh dung across the proverbial divide.
Thank God I am an agnostic :-D, especially when it comes to political parties.
I think you ballsed it up, Ed...
...Whatever next...
