"The truth is just a bit of hay, like the others, not even a needle" brilliant metaphor.

The BBC is dying. And Mitchell knows his bread and butter money is gonna dry up. PR would've provided 80 UK mps btw so he's clearly not given it much thought.

David Mitchell isn’t gloomy, he’s a facts-based pessimist.

I love him as a comedian and he’s spot on here. I’m American and it’s funny how similar many countries are when you discuss their political ineptitude. Different configuration same outcome. Poor representation, lobbyists running politicians, money over environment (aka our future). Love this gentleman.

The fact that David Mitchell is so hilarious, in terms of his responses, often obscures how correct he is!

"Having brought out a book in which I'm comprehensively proved wrong is a price I'm willing to pay for our society to stop falling to bits". Actually caring more about the greater good than your image, your popularity, being right... INTEGRITY.

Only David Mitchell would say "I'm a declining organism" in a relatively casual conversation.
