whenever I open Facebook my heart sinks when I see a good friend linking to a Guardian article by someone or other about how the Tories literally want to shit in poor people’s mouths and the comment ‘YES, HE NAILS IT’. Yes, he ‘nails it’, in the sense that the Revd Ian Paisley used to ‘nail’ Catholicism during his sermons every week, the ability to articulate all your tribe’s worst prejudices against the other and distort what they believe in an amusing way. By that measure he does indeed ‘nail it’.
