Ming Reviewed

James Forsyth 3:36pm

Lloyd Evans, The Spectator’s theatre critic, has penned an absolutely fantastic sketch of Ming Campbell’s speech today for us which you can read here. I particularly enjoyed his final thoughts on Ming’s persona,

“It isn’t relevant or sexy. But it’s thoroughly Liberal Democrat. Plenty of gravitas. No weight.”

Ming would like to stress his age and experience. Of his age, there can be no doubt, but experience? Of what? When? Where? Can anyone enlighten us? I did look at his biog on his website but it didn't shed much light on this mysterious "experience". Perhaps it was of the woodshed variety.

Is that another way of saying "all wind and no substance"?
