From Michael Foot's jacket to Neil Kinnock being ginger and Welsh to Gordon Brown and whatever he is supposed to have done wrong over those hand-written letters, it just makes me warm to people when they get monstered like this. <br /><br />I know the sort of person on whom it would have the intended effect- I meet them all the time and keenly avoid them.<br /><br />As a highly skilled politician (which does NOT mean he'd be a good prime minister- I don't think he would, even though he'll probably end up in charge) he should know better than to court the gutter press in this manner. I suspect he commits the besetting sin of caring too much about his image.<br /><br />Well, I LIKE his image (and his intellectuallism, which the illiterates who "read" the Sun react to with instinctive fear and hatred) but dislike his substance. So a lot of own goals being scored by all concerned.asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-34831578453660811782014-06-14T11:03:03.220+01:002014-06-14T11:03:03.220+01:00Pinkie, I put links in blogs pointing to previous ...Pinkie, I put links in blogs pointing to previous posts for a reason. It's not about playing up to "weirdness", but rather Ed's not inconsiderable strengths.

It's not as if posties in some areas didn't decide not to touch this stunt, reminding some of us, if we needed reminding, what contempt there is for the Sun in some parts. It doesn't bode well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04757591304423301884noreply@blogger.com
