Radio station reads post on this blog. “Would you like to be on our show talking about the EU getting the Nobble?”
“Sure, when?”
“So, what’s your background, other than a blogger?”
“Well, I’m at the ASI, write for Forbes, with resepect to the EU, used to work for UKIP, been a candidate etc. Know lots of stuff.”
“Hmm, I don’t think that will work really. You seem to be too well informed for our purposes”…..
To be fair, the show was a listener call in and they were lining up listeners to call in. Vox populi rather than anyone who actually knew the subject under discussion.

Being informed about the EU is always a disadvantage. I was only mildly, grumpily sceptic until I started learning the facts.

First posthumous Nobel prize!

“Hmm, I don’t think that will work really. You seem to be too well informed for our purposes”
In one sentence that sums up so much about what is wrong with our political discourse and media.

If ASI/UKIP is any judge..?
Informed probably wasn’t the word that was meant.

No need to worry your little french brain. No-one is ever going to accuse you of being informed.

Is Arnald French ? I hope he is paying his social charges in France and not sponging off the UK’s lower tax rates.

Well, if you consider it is, if fact, the Duchy of Normandy. Which sounds more than a bit French to me …
But no, it’s just a little oddity (like Arnald, really), just a less common one than “pendantry”.

Can’t have somebody on that the poisonous Fabian quisling cannot easily trip up, what what?
