    Remember Ed Miliband? He was a terrible politician because someone took a photo of him at the precise second his face looked funny while eating a sandwich.

    That feels like a real sliding doors moment in modern UK life - because of that sandwich we got Brexit and years of Tory misrule.

      Though it’s all a bit jokey, I also kind of believe that’s to some degree true.

      It’s the new generation’s “If you discover time travel, go back and kill Hitler”.

        I have said before that I’d go back and slap the buttie out of his hands. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first thing I’d do after inventing time travel but it’s in the top ten.

          Next day news. Labour supporters invent time travel. To abuse Jewish eating bacon.

          You just can’t trust the motives of the left wing elite.
