    I don't think you're working hard enough on her, m.
    Yes, we watched Tom Holland's ISIS documentary yesterday (which I found rather disappointing) and I pointed out that the beardy Allans featured were friends of the chap she's planning to vote for.

    I also reminded her that my childhood was scarred by a constant fear that my dad (who worked in the city) would be blown up by the IRA, who Jez actively supported.

    She insisted she's not voting for him. I rolled my eyes.

    Married life, innit. We curled up on the sofa and watched Mary Poppins, while nibbling on tortillas and barbecue.

    Soy sauce all over my new bitter lemon-coloured pyjamas
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Mary Poppins as directed by Michael Mann?

    I have considered that actually; there's similarities there. MP is already practically perfect though, of course. No need for a remake or "re-imagining"

    Even though, I understand there is one currently on its way

    Yes. That Blunt woman's in it, I understand.

    I suppose your ideal film would a Michael Mann epic about hare coursing?

    I thought it very interesting, but was annoyed by how much it pulled its punches by constantly letting mainstream Islam off the hook.

    That said, he clearly did something right if we're to judge by the amount of abuse he's getting from Islamist scum at the moment.

    And have you not pointed out to her that every single vote Labour gets will be seen as an endorsement of its current leadership?

    Yes, I said during the programme "I'd love to see his Twitter feeed tonight"

    The last 30 minutes were good - the stuff about Napoleon and the idea that the west is re-shaping the perception of Muhammad took things into thought-provoking territory. Basically the first hour I found a total waste of time, but I guess that was designed to draw in the uninitiated.

    Also, he's got a weird face and mannerisms.

    He has. I've got several of his books and they are good, but rather over-written.

    The first half was intended to illustrate the real horror of what it means to be a non-muslim in a Wahabbist state. In that sense, I think it was effective. It clearly touched some raw nerves as he's now getting it in the neck (as it were) from any number of Islamist apologists saying that slavery under Islam isn't so bad and trying to claim the Prophet Mohammed didn't knob a nine-year-old (he clearly did).

    Have you tried the 'have you seen his taxation policies? Anus and her brother will never go to private school once he's done with us' line?

    It's quite effective pulling at a mother's heart strings like that, I used it to encourage Mrs WES to return to work earlier than she wanted to.
