Before I kill you, Mr Duncan-Smith

Our tinfoil-hatted friends at Samizdata.net compare the Tories with the Bond franchise:

I'm off to see the new Bond movie, in a cinema, with a fellow samizdatista. I expect it to be the cinematic equivalent of the Conservative Party: absurdly implausible, formulaic, full of sex and violence but in a ludicrously dated way, and demeaning to women and to ethnic and linguistic minorities. If not, I shall be wanting my money back.

This makes my mind boggle a bit. Ann Widdecombe as a Bond girl? Well, perhaps not; maybe the Rosa Klebb role instead?

I can imagine Tony Blair as a Bond Villain, with John Prescott as his henchman.

But I can't imagine Iain Duncan-Smith as Bond. Perhaps Michael Heseltine in his Tarzan days?
