Andrew Marr's Sunday morning television programme is rarely very taxing and Marr is not exactly the most probing of interviewers. His political guests tend to have a pretty easy time of it and he also brings in non-politicians to voice their opinions at times.
Today, it was the turn of Eddie Izzard to tell us what a wonderful thing the European Union is. Izzard is a major supporter of the Labour Party, wants to get rid of the monarchy and likes dressing in women's clothing. He appeared this morning smothered in make-up and lipstick, and wearing a bright pink beret; he clearly has gender-identity issues. It's also the case that his socialist and republican standpoint fits perfectly with the centralised, unaccountable and left wing basis of the EU. From his perspective, remaining in the Union will eventually lead to the type of United Kingdom which he wants to see, one in which 'Kingdom' no longer applies and which, presumably, would be the 'United Republic' and subservient to its faceless masters in Brussels.
Why anyone should care what such an odd creature thinks about the EU is a mystery to me; why anyone would be persuaded by his views is an even bigger mystery. Indeed, being confronted by such a peculiar vision spouting Europhile jargon makes me still more determined to VOTE LEAVE.
