The oddest thing about Lembit Opik

James Forsyth 3:03pm

Do read Lesley White’s sympathetic profile of Lembit Opik in today’s Times. There is, though, no getting away from the fact that Opik has some strange views and none stranger than this:

“He talks about the transference of psychic energy, how his crossness that our Virgin train was late had put a spring in the step of the woman who later showed us to a meeting at Shrewsbury hospital.”

Crazy name, crazy guy. Further evidence that Lembit is as mad as a badger. Other exhibits - the cheeky girls - support for Simon Hughes then er, - support for Mark Oaten then er, - didn't support any further candidates and give them the curse of Opik
