Anyone else just see Michael Gove in the Alan Titchmarsh show? The man's a twonk.

Michael Gove as an actor

See above River

Michael Gove an actor .... what has he appeared in?

Aren't all schools set in country estates? Really? Well they should be and then standards in the state sector would be better wouldn't they?

On the local radio this morning, a man was interviewed who said that when Gove was a reporter he used to stay in their house. This man's mother reminded him that he used to put crisps in Gove's shoes. This could be why Gove wants kids to be punished by having to do cross-country running. Only Gove could suggest that. Not much cross-country in inner cities.

He used to be an actor, perhaps he is making theatrical gestures?

I did wonder where I recognised him from when he first came into prominence politically, then realised he had been on the telly

I don't think Brown was mocked for having one nearly blind eye. I think it was always Blair for his one maniacally staring eye – which was sometimes the right one and sometimes the left.

While it is true that Gove has an unappealing face, it is his silly gestures that are so irritating – apart from his policies, that is.

I disagree with his politics, and I find his mannerisms, and general presentation very off putting. He reminds me a bit of Mr Hitler - I don't mean his policies are like Hitler's, but the way he presents himself is reminiscent. As is the way he seems convinced he's right about everything, bombastic, opinionated and very difficult to find anything positive to say about him.

It's a form of bullying surely? Disagree with his politics by all means but its not nice to criticise his looks.

Ana Ahh! The link you and Jingle did have a different internet address. |I sort of approached the same link from a different direction.
That's probably where I got "muxed ip"!

Jingl already posted that link, Nelliemoser.

I'm actually with granjura and Nonu on this, in that although I thought the 'voodoo doll' was quite witty, the continual digs about M. Gove's looks are a bit tiresome. There are plenty of those about Miliband as well. They can't help the way they look - I bet we've all got, or seen, photos of ourselves looking peculiar! I always seem to have my eyes shut, for example...

mean spirited!

Concur with you entirely Granjura

Some more Gove, to continue the honourable tradition of lampooning politicians. Particularly ones with the dangerous ideas Gove has.

There's a long tradition of lampooning politicians - they're fair game.

I've never seen Blunkett being mocked for his blindness; as for Boris he carefully cultivates that disheveled polar bear look.

As said,, I am no fan of Gove, or Cameron for that matter.
But I really would prefer they would be criticised for their policies, and not for the way they look. I thought it was dreadful how people mocked Brown for having a blind eye, or Blunkett for being blind, or Boris for his hair.

If it is not acceptable to do so for 'normal' people, why is it OK for politicians- however dreadful we think their policies are. A shame, really.

Disregard last post - the hair's different

I think it's Harriet Harman?

So who is Upsy Daisy?

David Cameron's lost twin

That's amazing! Gotta be related.

I like the 'Otters that look like Benedict Cumberbatch' photos, too!

he has got a face that sort of lends itself...
