When Owen met Alastair – like The Thick Of It meets The Office
The Guardian’s Owen Jones has made a video interview with Alastair Campbell and it’s all a bit, to quote The Thick Of It’s Malcolm Tucker, ‘Shitehead Revisited’.

Feels like it’s time for another Malcolm Tucker quote.
“Who was it that did your media training, Myra Hindley? It’s terrible! All these hands all over the place. You were like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra. It was like watching John Leslie at work.”
Anyway, here’s what people made of on Twitter.

He dishes it out, he can take it. He's a big boy

Oh and @OwenJones84 is not an adolescent, he's a bestselling author who's had his work translated into multiple languages. Have some respect

Jones resembles Rick from the Young Ones.
