I must say I had a chuckle at Alastair Campbell’s tweet during the leaders’ debate:
I had another chuckle when Alan Johnson used the line in the post-debate analysis and now I see David Miliband congratulating Alan Johnson for using it and Miliband’s comments being recirculated by eager Labourites.
So who stole it from whom? For we socialists all property is theft and everything should be owned in common so I guess it doesn’t really matter. But it is amusing to see how pleased everyone is with this one-liner.
