Interesting Bedfellows
If, a week ago, I had told you that Kevin Maguire and Richard Littlejohn would agree on something, you would have dismissed me as insane.
Yet, much to my amusement and surprise, this week they managed to set aside their significant ideological differences and unite in the service of a common cause: hatred of Peter Mandelson.
Maguire argued that Mandelson is “a figure who personified a lack of trust in politicians”, and Littlejohn concurs, calling him an “odious, discredited creep”. Likewise they both agree that the appointment was a sign of weakness. The only difference between the two articles is that Maguire manages some degree of restraint, confining himself to a few unfavourable observations, while Littlejohn engages in an extended offensive offensive.
Who said these sort of people couldn’t agree with the other side?
