The Dear Leader did Andrew Marr this morning – I’ve just returned from a beautiful day out to watch it online and give it a quick Fisk. Here are my top half dozen points.
1. “To be honest, what I’ve seen offends my Presbyterian conscience.” Is this the first recorded use of the phrase? And what do the Presbyterians think about it?
2. “Do you want 10 percent cuts in your education services at a time when young children, teenagers need more education? Do you want 10 percent cuts in your policing at a time when we actually need to give people visible police presence in their communities? Now these are the issues on which we will fight at General Election.” Oh God, what have I done? He’s taking that 10 percent figure from my piece in the Daily Telegraph last week.
