Blood Sports

James Forsyth 6:31pm

Toby set tongues wagging with his post about whether David Cameron was Muhammed Ali to Gordon Brown’s George Foreman. (Do see Clive’s post on why Gordon is really Sonny Liston) So, here--at Toby's suggestion--is yesterday’s encounter between Cameron and Brown and the combination of punches from the Rumble in the Jungle that Toby thought that Cameron threw the verbal equivalent of yesterday. Which was more brutal?

Calm down boys. The clunking fist has plenty of fight left in him, Dave's going to get a haymaker right on that self-satisfied chin of his.

I would love to "see Clive’s post on why Gordon is really Sonny Liston" but you haven't given a link to it or said where it is and I have spent ten minutes looking for it without success. Poor.

Is it just me, the link is in there now--apologies. Clive's blog is part of The Spectator family and is, to my mind, a daily must read.
