Impudent Bulgar

Some foreigner has been lecturing Britain's Head Boy over Britain's immigration debate (or, in Standard English, Westminster's immigration hysteria). The president of Bulgaria also took it upon himself to lecture Daveybloke upon the lessons of history (the same Daveybloke who employs Michael Gove) and to tell the former public-relations office boy that "politicians are judged by what they do and not by what they say".

The president of Bulgaria seems to think Daveybloke has made an error of judgement by taking his policies from UKIP and the Daily Mail; he even seems to think the coalition's policies have something to do with Bulgarians. In fact, Bulgarians themselves are as relevant to the likes of Lynton Crosby and Theresa May as poor people are relevant to the brilliant Duncan Smith's welfare reforms: they may get chewed up in the machinery, but they would be naïvely arrogant to consider themselves the main focus of attention. The point of a good witch-hunt is not primarily to destroy the witches, but to unite the mob. Clearly the president of Bulgaria, who was elected to office on a mere fifty-two per cent of the vote, has little idea of the intricacies of British democracy, whereby the Bullingdon Club romped home on thirty-six per cent.
