Tony Blair used to drive those who disliked him almost insane. Judging from Jan Moir’s column in the Daily Mail today, David Cameron has the same effect on his opponents. Here’s how she starts:
“David Cameron has the most annoying legs in British politics. In fact, the Tory leader has the most annoying legs in Britain, full stop.
His ankles are as prettily turned as a showgirl’s. His knees are too shapely. Above them, like great crags of sinew, lurks the beefy heft of the Cameron thighs. Ug, ug, ug.
Yet worst of all are his calves. Oh God, how I hate those smug calves! There is something about the Tory leader’s hideous orbs of compressed, calfy muscle – testament to a cycling habit that keeps him in favour with the eco-nuts – that makes me want to beat them black and blue with a bicycle pump.”Moir goes onto say:
“This year, his legs have become more familiar to me than the ones on my own kitchen table.
