The documentary will be released this year and promises to “lift the lid on the man behind the public image”

The public image being a man who desperately needs to be the center of attention.

Between reading the headline and clicking through to the comments I was overwhelmed by choice of enraged and disgusted feelings I couldn't quite put in to words, but then I read this, and I don't think there's anything to add. The man makes me want to vomit.

The problem is that this propaganda works so fucking well on its target audience (s*n and daily hail reading temporarily embarrassed millionaires), so while we ignore it, they lap it up, and his influence remains (and now that he's no longer an MP, he can let the mask slide much further). The man is a parasite, he's not going to let go that easy.
