I know it is an easy mistake to make, and we both have lived in Manchester so fully understandable if an error is made, but if Gavin Williamson is reading NSC (he may have mistaken it for the Houses of Parliament) I would like to point out that I am not Marcus Rashford, or Maro Itoje either.

If he’s reading NSC he’d probably mistake you for this guy ….. [emoji6]

You can see why Iannucci stopped making 'The Thick Of It'. This shower of self serving, morally bankrupt, entitled, incompetents constantly produce inadvertent, real life, absurdist satires on our political system that even the best comedy writers would struggle to compete with.

Williamson's role appears to be that of making Priti Patel look competent by comparison.

I wonder what it was which made him mistake Rashford with Itoje?

I tell you what REALLY p155es me off about GW. Being the Secretary of State for education he refers to the young people on the end of education as “children” in every respect, for every age group, even if he’s talking about GCSE level, or even A Level, he calls them “children”.

I bet a strapping 17 year old lad loves being referred to as a child. Every young person moves from being referred to as a child to being referred to as a young person or student at some age, I reckon that transition is likely about age 9 or 10.

Why can the lily-livered effeminate wispy lispy voiced a55hole that is GW, bearing in mind his whole job is about educating young people, not refer to them as ‘students’? He’s bound to be a casualty in the reshuffle anyway, so feck him, useless tawt.

And breathe….

The thing that really got me about this story was that it wasn't a passing comment where he muddled them up, he had a meeting Maro Itoje and thought he'd met Marcus Rashford.

He has two roles. You've identified the first. The other is that he is the token state-educated chump in the cabinet. The fact that he is a drippy, thick cretin probably allows the rest of the cabinet to justify why there are so many "born to rule" Etonians and the likes in positions of influence compared to the general population.

Maro is about twice the size of Marcus .... is among the many reasons why this is a crass error

In the history of the whole world has there ever a nation run by so many morons? Even the US never got this bad.

I was looking at Maro’s six pack. To be fair, I’m surprised I don’t get confused with him.
