John Rentoul: "Real people? They're a nightmare."

Daniel Finkelstein's advice to David Cameron on Islamic Schoolgate, or how to prepare for Prime Minister's Questions, is very sound, and provides my quote of the day:

As a political adviser I developed a rule - never cite real people ... Even when we used a lion on a poster, a story appeared variously suggesting it was gay (presumably from a gay pride) or a manic depressive lion.

Labour had it with Jennifer's Ear, IDS with Rose Addis. And now DC has it with the school.

Real people? They're a nightmare.
