Know Your Enemy

"Alistair Campbell: @ campbellclaret So @ AIannucci OBE joins the Establishment he claims to deride. Malcom Tucker and I do not approve of honours system"

Armando Iannucci: @ AIannucci It's probably more Establishment to order your army to march into other countries for no reason. Swings and roundabouts

Alistair Campbell: @ campbellclaret
you see, your wit a bit tired and blunt already. Three little letters can have more impact than you realise. Tut Tut

Armando Iannucci: @ AIannucci WMD"

That Alistair Campbell v Armando Iannucci Twitter spat in full. While I can't help but think that Campbell has a bit of a point, Iannucci clearly swung the decisive punch to emerge victorious at the end and Mr Spin got what he deserved for having the gall to try and take the moral high ground.

Taking on professional comics? It seems Campbell still hasn't learned his lesson despite that mauling from Ian Hislop, Paul Merton and even Ross Noble on Have I Got News For You...
