Catch Up : Fox Haunting : A Poster Boy Moment

Liam Fox is the poster boy for NOT TORY. He is involved with a beaming George wotsit, the wet almost-reasonable liberal one, in unveiling a poster suggesting that Tony Blair has told a fib or two in his career.

This is one of those posters that is mostly seen on websites, press launches, and of course in acres of newsprint and rakes of radio and TV coverage; rarely actually on a street near you.

But I reckon that this one is going to haunt Fox for the rest of his career.

That is because a journalist asks Fox whether he has ever told a lie in politics himself. He is caught like a fox in the lampers' headlights. Avoiding eye contact. Blinking and looking away. Wondering when the dogs or the bullets or the brickbats are coming.

He changes the subject shiftily. This is priceless.
