Ed as Dirty Harry
Private Eye, the UK's best and only fortnightly satirical magazine, has some fun with the notion that underneath his geek-boy image the real Ed Miliband is about as tough as old boots.
I'm keeping my eyes peeled during the election campaign for any sign that the new-look Ed is demanding that his drinks be served in a dirty glass.
ME AND MY SPOON
THIS WEEK
THE NEW-LOOK
ED MILIBAND
Do you have a favourite spoon?
Hell, yes.
Have spoons played a large part in your career?
You're damned right they have.
Do you have any specific policies to increase spoon ownership in Britain?
You'd better believe it, buddy.
Has the current government failed to deliver on spoons?
What do you think, asshole?
What message would you send out to the average voter, spoon-wise?
Feeling lucky, punk?
Can I ask you one last question?
Go ahead, make my day.
Has anything amusing ever happened to you in relation to spoons?
Hell, no.
Are you OK, Ed?
