With UK Plc drifting towards the same titanic icebergs that sunk Iceland and, soon, Greece, what the country needs is vision and inspired leadership - albeit not in the style of Saint Tony of Chilcott, perhaps. But no, our would-be leaders are cynically dumbing down any debate to levels that will have Atlee and Churchill spinning in their graves. Incisive political interviews make for riveting TV viewing, but Gordon Brown’s cosy chat with pal Piers Morgan was hardly Frost/ Nixon. Look! Tears! That’s Doreen and Noreen’s votes in the bag. Meanwhile, PR boy Dave is bravely risking all by squaring up to heavyweight inquisitor Alan Titchmarch later this month. ‘So, are you more of a pansy or a wallflower man, Mr Cameron?’ What next? Nick Clegg gets grilled on Saturday Kitchen? Who needs actual policies? Let Simon Cowell orchestrate The PMX Factor; the winner - styled by Sinitta and choreographed by Jedward - whoever best covers Alice Cooper’s (I Wanna Be) Elected.
