Great truths are often spoken in jest

Maybe I'm just a humourless dolt, but I didn't think Scott Yorke's spoof diary entry for Matthew Hooton was terribly funny.  But one line did strike me as being - perhaps unintentionally - very spot on.  Not because of what it says about Hooton, though:

I’m immensely intelligent, and I’m also right-wing. It’s no coincidence. 

So how can someone as well educated as Cunliffe be a leftie? That’s the biggest lie of all.

Maybe I'm just a cynical fool, as well as a humourless dolt, but I'm about as convinced by Cunliffe's leftwingery as I am of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.
