An adulterous politician who wanted to bring in draconian, illiberal surveillance laws while in power, wants satire brought under control. Who'd have thought it?
It would have been less easy to condemn outright if he had form for campaigning against Spitting Image and the various Ben Elton outlets during Labour's wilderness years.
