Liberal Vision, the outlet for the remaining liberals in the Lib Dems, is commendably critical of Jo Swinson who has ludicrously proposed to ban "airbrushing of models for campaigns aimed at the under-16s".
Ms Swinson is one of those MPs who has moved apparently effortlessly from full time education to Parliament, with only the briefest of appearances in the real world in between.
This explains a great deal. Only someone straight out of school could come up with quite such a ludicrous idea. For a law of this kind to work, you have to be able to define "campaign", you have to be able to define "model", you have to be able to define "airbrushing", you have to be able to define "directed at" and you have to be able to prove that the directing is at under-16s.
Can you really define "model" in such a way as to catch Kate Moss for Top Shop, but not Rupert Grint in the poster for Harry Potter and the half-blood prince? If Kate Moss turns up for the Top Shop photo shoot with a big zit on the end of her nose, do they have to leave it in the pics? It's absurd.
