That’s so Farr out

I CAN’T take Tim Farron seriously. He’s got that slightly weird after-school Bible Club aura about him.

Allegedly, if you poke him with your finger he farts a noise like a clown’s horn. But this is serious – the Lib Dems are going to ban all diesels if they get voted in on June 8.

It’s such a monumentally naïve idea on so many levels that I don’t really know where to begin. Instead, I’ll just point out that half the UK’s motoring population drives a diesel if you include lease, company car and private ownership.

Yeah, that’ll work. Axing half your possible vote before you even start polling.

But you know what they say: desperate people do desperate things.

They’ll be legalising cannabis and proposing a second referendum next.
