Just two words, Edwina Currie. That was the problem, he was an otherwise good and capable bloke until she started playing the piccolo, or oboe, I don't know which and I don't care to. If you don't know and don't care to why bring the subject up. You could simply have said a blue vein solo, the favourite orchestral term.

I've never heard the term before, I must move in the wrong circles.

Maybe I grew up in the wrong century but when I was young women could be beautiful and men handsome. A tribal beauty contest would have aspiring women only. You may like this novel set up but I'm really disappointed that the Tories of all parties have men in a beauty contest.

Some of the candidates' fiscal policies are worrying, they seem targeted at improving their ratings with voters rather than solving the economic problems of the day. The City has said Liz Truss's policies would do nothing more than stoke inflation and are unworkable, the combination of her not being male and the population not understanding economics might make that fact largely irrelevant. It might be tin foil hat time.

Just to understand how things work, or maybe worked.

If I may interject briefly, it may have to do with the number of ex public school men amongst the Tory grandees. Probably still a better bet than the champagne socialists, sociology graduates and shirt-stirrers on the other side.

Your just jealous that you don't have a country house, a title and own lots of serfs.

The tories are marginally better than the National Front. Occasionally. Not sure I agree with that. The Tories have been very happy to import vast numbers of non-British people to work for their rich benefactors so enhancing their donors' enormous wealth, totally ignoring the disruptive effect that has had upon ordinary society. They have also failed to remove these people from the country when their economic usefulness ends. The National Front and its successors have actually fought for the health of society and the wellbeing of (white) British people. (White? Is there any other kind?) In my opinion the Tories have betrayed Britain, and are far worse than the National Front, BNP, UKIP and the rest of the rabble. And a few dodgy curry houses and a number of darkie doctors is no compensation for the havoc wrought upon the country by their profit-before-society policies.

Rumour has it BoJo was 'real' funny in a speech at his belated wedding party. I guess as mini-Trump he had to say something about being dumped, but luckily he didn't claim things were stolen. Just a refined "greatest stitch-up since the Bayeux Tapestry".

The Tories are brilliant, an all inclusive party, bet you dont get this in Laborur. uk.news.yahoo.com/tory-mp-wearing-leather-mini-102820362.html
