Mr Gove Lays Down The Law | Paul Bernal’s Blog
Mr Gove was as surprised as anyone when Mr Cameron won the election.
After all, Mr Gove knew better than anyone how useless Mr Cameron was. Well, Mr Gove knew better than anyone about everything. That was what made Mr Gove what he was.

I have a friend on Facebook who went to school with Michael Gove in Aberdeen. He says Gove was as much of a self-satisfied divot then as he is now.
Just about sums up the berk.
