Like rotten eggs, the new class of US oligarchs are floating to the surface.

Jubilant not for the future of the US or it's citizens, but for the future of their asset and order portfolios.

The hard reality for Democrats, which most are still light years away from accepting, is that in order to win back the center - some uncomfortable concessions need to be made.

The fact I would feel chastised for suggesting any is a good summation of where the left currently is.

Yes, Brian Thompson was head of an organisation that represents the dregs of a capitalist system that puts profits before patients.

No, he was not Hitler.

Luigi's defence will undoubtedly begin by drawing a straight line from the storming of the Bastille to his heroic actions, arguing that without this symbolic blow against tyranny, modern healthcare premiums might still include a surcharge for pitchforks and torches.

The scariest part about pound shop Ted, is that we all know someone who has fallen into the same rabbit hole of populist resentment.

And we wonder how much further they need to go before they become Luigi.

If you are defending pound shop Ted's murdering of a civilian, no matter how reprehensible they may be, simply because it was done in the pursuit of your ideals - then please also open your arms to others who may take the same action in pursuit of ideals you do not believe in.

Alastair Campbell and Nigel Farage.

No further words required.

Thank goodness for actors.
