"It's hard not to see parallels with the migrant crisis"

One felt that Andrew Marr was egging-on his guest into self-parody in the luvvie slot of the Andrew Marr Show this morning:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0080bbs

Discussing with Simon Armitage his new play The Odyssey, Missing Presumed Dead Mr Marr with faux innocence said "It's hard not to see parallels with the migrant crisis".

I almost spat out the coffee I was drinking, so hysterical was the moment.

"I dramatised the Illiad" indeed! - as if the Illiad needs any dramatisation.
