Natalie Bennett: Daring Greatly and always in #Beta

Natalie Bennett dived on Radio yesterday so of course she can't be Prime Minister. Off with her head! She is meant to be shaping up to pitch to run the country, changing society and challenging the status quo. She can't even speak.The guy interviewing her LOVED it, his perverse radio glee was so ripe I thought I was listening to Jimmy Savile being given the keys to Great Ormond Street Hospital and asked to lock up for the night.As I paced up and down outside Senate House near Russell Square listening to the interview I kept wishing the ground would swallow me up and I was only listening. This is what it feels like when you are winning. Then it occurred to me that Rosa Parks might have had a lump in her throat when she did not shift seats on the bus, Martin Luther King always sounded strong but he looked like he'd practised a few times, you don't make a speech like that with out practice. King George VI was CRAP at talking until he had lessons and his 'coworker' Winston Churchill had a stammer here and there and still went down in English history as a hero.The last British politician I found inspiring in any shape or form was Tony Benn and before that Churchill (well you have to) other than that it is all Jaguar cars, suits and self absorbed spin.The level of hypocrisy and inauthenticity we "miss" in government and politics is amazing Daniel Wickham captured it brilliantly in this post here just after the Charlie Hebdo Paris Shooting.
