Ford & Goodwin get medieval on Mr Blond

Excellent Guardian piece by Rob Ford and Matthew Goodwin taking on the ludicrous Phillip Blond. In an ideal world they wouldn't have to waste their time dealing with such foolishness. I'm sure they both have better things to be getting on with. But if needs must, they are the boys to give 'im hard knocks.
