Tonight's local election shows more clearly than ever that polls are now dictated by the leader. Gordon's plummetted with his charmless governance. Liberals? Who they then? And Tony-esque Cameron, with a whiff of charisma and a big dollop of default has schmoozed his way into the lead. Who says we're not like the Americans and as shallow as a bird bath on a blisteringly hot day?

I'm a HUGE fan of election night: general, council or parish and there I am, glued to the box, revelling in the speculation, back biting and bitching. But i was NOT prepared for the full horror of Jeremy Vine. I just do not get the cultivation of the Vine that the BBC is engaged in. From several years ago, when he occassionally stood in for Paxman and it was clear he was merely attempting a poor immitation of Jezza, and it was as cushion-bitingly cringeworthy as Gordon Brown attempting a witty aside.
HE's subsequently become a main stay of Radio 2 = well, fine, whatever - but also is now the attrocious cod Nicky Campbell-esque presenter of, as if it needed a presenter, in it's new, shrink rapped pocket sized Panorama, - in an 'I'M TALKING TO SOMEONE VERY HARD OF HEARING' style.
BUT i really do not need this scrawny, unnecessary wanabee actor/ voiceover /Peter 'swingometer' Snow and might I say completely arseless in his let's get down with the kids crap low slung jeans patronising style, wasting my time, with not an insight in sight.
