Telegraph searches for fag ends on Clegg

You can always count on Louis Theroux to illuminate the darker corners of modern popular culture, though we're not sure what this anecdote adds to the election debate. "I was Clegg's 'fag' at school, says Theroux," the Daily Telegraph proudly exclaims this morning. Dutifully mining Clegg's curriculum vitae for dirt, the paper delights in detailing 'normal guy' Clegg's paternal grandmother, Baroness Kira von Engelhardt, his banker father and his privileged start at Westminster school. Theroux made his own contribution on BBC1's The One Show, explaining how he had to wake him in the morning and bring him a newspaper. "People sleep in different ways and with Nick Clegg the thing was that he was a very deep sleeper. I would bend over him and kind of push him," said Theroux.
