And another thing…

ACCORDING to this morning’s interview with Andrew Marr, Do-Nothing’s new government will make everything okay simply by virtue of being a new government.

So, to summarise, Dave will rescue the economy, repair “Broken Britain” and reverse global warming through the implementation of the following steps:

1. Form a new government.
2. Er…
3. That’s it with regard to this one.

So let’s hear no more of this accusation that the Tories are the “do nothing party”, you hear me?

I DIDN’T see Andrew Marr’s interview with Do-Nothing this morning, but according to Rosa Prince at The Telegraph blog, Dave’s insistence on doing it live from his London home may be a cause of regret. Technical difficulties resulted in those “charming, throwaway” lines Do-Nothing likes to employ being revealed to be entirely rehearsed and scripted.

Not the first time the BBC gremlins have struck Dave. His New Year interview with Jeremy Vine (which I did listen to) was interrupted at least once by a loss of the live feed between the studio and the radio van Dave was sitting in (cue accusations of BBC bias, pinko lefties wasting licence-payers’ money, etc…).

His handlers shouldn’t get too uptight about broadcasters’ preference for interviewing the Prime Minister in Downing Street. That’s been the practice for many years, as far as I know. And refusing to make his way to the BBC to be interviewed is hardly going to add to Dave’s gravitas, especially since technical issues are more likely to intervene.
