Labour’s latest video might be enough to make me change my vote

I thought Ed Miliband did rather well in that last debate. Insofar as it matters. In both of the last two debates he’s come across significantly better than much of the press would have you believe, to my mind. Insofar as it matters, again. But then I suspect that almost everyone gleans what they want from these fatuous pantomimes. Not me, however; I think Miliband is calamitous.

It’s sometimes the trivial things that matter. Miliband’s intention to criminalise something called ‘Islamophobia’ almost persuaded me to change my vote. You stupid, opportunist, bien-pensant. But the above video might be the thing which finally does it. I was sent it by the party to which I pay thirteen quid a month.

So Alan Partridge is voting Labour. Yay, raise high the roof beams, carpenters.
