For some agreeable reason, the locus of comedy in extreme British politics has shifted to the right. Well, leftie squabbles can be fun too, but the left just doesn’t have the same element of farce.

I suspect this may be because the inter-left fighting is about people being killed by war and tyranny, while the inter-right fighting is about whether it’s better to be ruled by civil servants from London or from Brussels.

Also, Anthony Wells should seriously consider becoming a comic writer (err, a comic writer like PG Wodehouse, not a comic writer like Stan Lee).
