He made up for it with a decent, hard-hitting interview with David Cameron, which revealed him as a shallow, twisting little bullshitter. I particularly liked this exchange, towards the end:
'…all the way through the crucial years, you were calling for less regulation. You were calling for government to stand aside. You said that too often regulation is the first resort. In terms of bad calls, that was about as bad as it gets, wasn't it?'DC: 'I don't accept that…'Marr: 'I've got all the quotes here, and they're pretty strong. The message from the City is that we should have less regulation and the message from the centre-right is that people should stand aside and let business get on with it. Your deregulation taskforce said "Government even claims that all this regulation is necessary, they seem to believe that without it, banks will steal all your money!". Well they did!'.DC: 'I think the point of what happened is that there was a huge amount of regulation taking place, but there was a complete lack of authority…'
Remember, voters, that Cameron is a Tory - he fundamentally believes that society shouldn't be regulated in any way - that the strong should succeed and the weak should be allowed to fail, that business is always right in whatever it wants to do and however it wants to do it. The banks have stolen our money, and he has no answer to that because he can't envisage a society without grasping, evil capitalism.
