Here's another memorable quote from Andrew Marr to add to the collection, delivered on this morning's Start the Week. Andy was talking about the potential benefits of a Donald Trump-Kim Jong-un meeting:
However bizarre the thought of two fat, angry men with strange haircuts sitting in the same room together and trying to talk through translators - and this is a very, very strange thought - it's clearly better than the alternative.
Would Our Andy ever refer to the following people as "fat":
ReplyDelete- Jo Brand
- Michael Moore
- Tom Watson
- Diane Abbott
No, I thought not. And yet in comparison to them DT is slim and lithe.
Women aren't described as fat - that would be terribly unkind.
DeleteWhat seems more bizarre is Andy chatting with the wife of a man who seems to have got further into junior female staff undies than he did.
ReplyDeleteThe alternative being mind bleach.
I've also heard Clive Anderson and Jeremy Hardy on R4 make exactly same "joke" about similarity of Trump and Kim. Group think? Of course not, BBC is sooo diverse ...
ReplyDeleteNo sooner said than Watson announces he's on hunger strike. The power of the blog! Great hilarity in the comments on the Telegraph article.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of strange haircuts, unless she too is on hunger strike Diane best watch out in ShadCab meetings lest she let a tasty morsel fold out on the table near a ravenous Tom.
