Maybe it’s something in the water, but it’s not often you find yourself agreeing with both David Cameron and Gorgeous George in the same week.

I’m not sure why the whackos over at UKIP are bothered by Cameron’s statement. If I was them, I’d be putting that “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists mostly” quote on the campaign posters, and it’s certainly given them a whole pile of unwarranted publicity just before the local elections. Apparently they are considering libel action, so presumably their case is going to be something along the lines of “look, we’re not a bunch of loony closet racists, we’re a bunch of crazy overt racists. Mr Cameron is clearly a fool who doesn’t understand politics (etc., etc.)”

[On the subject of racism, by the way, I noticed the other week that FIFA introduced a bunch of new anti-racism rules a couple of weeks ago, in a bid to get racism out of football: “Clubs now face being deducted three points for a first offence, six for a second and relegation for further offences.” Very honourable, and all, but hang on a minute, relegation for further offences? Isn’t that open to, well, abuse? Anyone up for hiring a bunch of skinheads and buying them tickets to a couple of games at Stamford Bridge? Wouldn’t it be funny if they spent all that money Roman stole off the people of Russia earned through legitimate business practices and ended up playing in the GM Vauxhall Conference…]

And well, yeah, we all knew that News International were committed to press freedom, but it’s nice to see them demonstrating it for us all. All of which leaves me in a difficult position. I know Galloway is this massive egotistical, self-aggrandising idiot, but just like ending up on the same side of an argument as Cameron, there’s something that feels so very wrong about supporting him. But, on the other hand, mmm, schadenfreude… it just feels so good.

And if you haven’t seen the picture of that cunning disguise, it’s here.
