david mitchell, as well as being one of the funniest comedians around in the uk at the moment, is rapidly becoming one of the most perceptive and astute political commentators on the current political scene. this article in the observer manages to have a go at dave ‘the rave’ cameron a politician whose only policy, mitchell points out, is to become the next prime minister, as well as the current crop of ne’er do wells, brown, sugar etc.
some of the comments are good too. i particularly like “this country has become a one party state, with two opposing factions”. there’s also a reference to alan sugar as sid james’ ugly little brother (‘successful businessman? you don’t see many amstrads round these days. do you.’)
