I’m probably going to be hunted down by MI5′s tame ninja for breaking this news to you, but David Cameron is not the man who runs our country… it’s Andrew Marr. Have you ever noticed how every political interview that anyone, apart from the person being interviewed (is a politician a person?),that is actually paid attention to, is a snippet from his show! Every Sunday night on BBC news there is a section about how some minister muddled his words during his interview on ‘The Andrew Marr show’ that morning. It shows a great deal about the state of our country’s leadership that a BBC interviewer could openly mock our ex-prime minister straight to his face, on national television!

During the 15 minutes that make up his main interview, Andrew Marr has more power to change some of our leading politician’s reputation than a bigoted women. Marr has the power to make even Stephen Hawking kick himself for the way he put something. On Sunday, our new Chancellor of the Exchequer somehow managed to say that the Conservative party would handle the economy ‘irresponsibly after 13 years of irresponsibility’, Marr was quick to point out that he must have meant ‘responsibly’. This just shows the level to which the people who rule us are being mocked by incredibly high brow chat show hosts, so high-brow that it’s above his non-existent hair line! Seriously, what would have happened to him in Soviet Russia?
All thoughts of an impaled man with a terrible comb-over aside, he actually holds real power. He is the most senior political interviewer in this country. An interview with him must be the biggest lie-filled event in a politicians calendar. It’s make or break time for them. I doubt that anyone not from Norfolk could count on one hand how many time Gordon Brown was humiliated time and time again on Andrew Marr’s Sunday morning show. Not content with controlling just today’s politics, Marr has branched out into controlling our history as well. with his recently published book, ‘a History of Modern Britain’ he can alter our political and cultural past, bending it to his will and feelings.
To be honest though, I’m personally happy to let him rule our country. Politicians have had their turn to steer Great Britain for the past 300 years and look where that got us. We should give the chat show hosts a turn. I also genuinely like the guy, he lies a lot less than politicians (is it possible to lie when answer questions?). He actually has a persona and human emotions unlike the rest. Sorry gotta go now … a red dot seems to have appeared on my forehead.
