A twofer

Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee stumbles into reality in her latest offering to the great unwashed. The topic of the piece matters not, what Ms. Toynbee discovers:

Politicians have been extraordinarily craven, failing in the leadership it will take to make real change.
No need to worry that this foray into reality will stick, Ms. Toynbee's next column will undoubtedly call for more politicians to engage in more governmentalism in order to fix this that and the other.

Actually we need not wait for the next column. In the very next sentence of the latest offering:

Look how bravely Barack Obama has confronted his climate-denying nation - and won, through courage and determination.
One suspects it will be a long four to eight years for Ms. Toynbee.
