And the Tories see Vorderman as someone who can speak for them on education. This the woman who managed a THIRD at Cambridge! Ducks have been known to waddle in from the Cam and get a third. The thick ones, that is.

I remember when Carol Vorderman became an overnight expert on internet paedophiles and justified her paranoia by squealing "I AM A MOTHER!". I've had serious doubts about her sanity ever since.

I can't stand either of them, but they're both good representatives of dumbed down nulabor britain where even the 'intellectuals' are second rate and fake.

I thought she was terrible. Her attempts to drag Sarah's Law into the Venables case was both invidious and opportunistic. No relevance whatsoever. Will Self was, as usual, spot on.

Horrible, but I loathe Will Self even more. To paraphrase Homer Simpson: 'Novelists: is there anything they don't know?' This bloke thinks reading the odd article about anything makes him PhD standard. It's like watching a 19 year old who's just discovered scepticism. Last time his remorselessly negative riffing routine was on global warming: 'Sorry, people, but we're toast'. This time it was on party politics: 'They're all rubbish'. Yes, thanks for that, Will. Are all ex-heroin addicts so insightful, or have you just had an extra glucose shot? To sit near someone like Shirley Williams and 'explain' Cabinet Government to her...well, the man has a nerve. Yet twenty-something year old researchers, who don't seem to know much about politics, seem to think the man's a daring genius.
