The ThunderDragon: Ming: I'm Not Too Old

20 September 2007

Ming: I'm Not Too Old

Ming says he's not too old... well, actually, yes you are Ming. You're 66 - you are past the retirement age. But it's more than just your age. Despite every attempt to give you "zing", you still appear about as lively as road kill. That is your major problem, a symptom of your age maybe, but not simply down to that one issue.

It is not Ming's actual age that is a problem, but his perceived age. He appears far older than 66 in both looks and actions. Instead of the lively, interesting and entertaining leader needed by a minor third party such as the Lib Dems, they have a doddering old octogenarian look-alike.

You should be at home with your pipe and slippers, reading the newspaper and tutting at "the youth of today," Mr Campbell... but then again, for all the impact that the Lib Dems have you might as well be.
