Jim Murphy: Spunk bubble

What an intelligent and erudite fellow that Jim Murphy is, I wish we in England had an English Secretary of State with but a fraction of his razor-sharp wit and repartee.
I cite this exchange from the "Jim Murphy webchat" on the No. 10 website as an example.
Ulysses: Why not have a devolved Parliament for the English?
Jim replies: That’s up to the people in the regions of England and we had a referendum on regional assemblies in the North East of England and they voted no. So that hasn’t gone any further.
You chinless, pasty, arrogant, anti-English twat.

Yep. The North East voted
Yep. The North East voted against regionalisation, NOT an English Parliament. And yet Murphy still refers to the "regions of England". What an arrogant, slimy er... er...!!
And regionalisation has gone MUCH further since, despite the will of the North East electorate in the only referendum allowed on the subject.
