Isn't 'top Tory' an oxymoron?

Lovely alliteration though.
Top tub-thumping totty, tittilatingly tabloid Tara, treats tinny Telegraph toff Timothy to treacle tarts.

Maybe I should work in Fleet Street.

I've noticed that Oxford University do Fairtrade Hoodies and jumpers That might be a line to go down? :shock: FairTrade, do you think the school would settle for anything less than FairTrade? :roll: Oh wait, the school shirts are made in Zimbabwe. Under the watchfull eyes of Mugabe's thugs, no doub...

Sorry, you are absolutely right. Although in all important matters such as defence, the Tories have been New Labour's closest ally against the old Left.
It's a funny old world. I just wish I could laugh.

Substitute the word 'Tory' for 'tabloid reader' in my previous post.

bring them back=screw even more iraqis what you mean is: if we leave now, the insurgency is going to kill everybody. let's look at the facts: even the head of the army says the war cannot be won. thus the longer we stay there, the longer people on both sides will be killed. if we leave, there will ...

Most recently read: Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell. Second time now, still good.

Let's stick to the facts shall we: Although the manufacture of replica weapons for children is viewed by many as obscene (and I agree), the possession of such an article by an eight-year-old is not unlawful. The plod ordering him to break his own property was unlawful. Who is in the wrong? I know it...

The rain in Spain falls mostly on the Spaniards

and another thing: the security measures mean nothing as there is a public right of way which runs from peele gate, through big side and out through wapple gate. they can't stop you entering the site at either wapple or peele gates (it would be unlawful for them to do so), what they can do is stop y...

As an existing parent the lack of security worries me considerably. in response to this, and the guy who tried to visit and then drove away again: the best thing you can do to improve security is to drive in through one of the open gates, nick a computer and drive off again. it was precisely this r...

Hi Caroline,

without wishing to be rude, I did A-level chemisty and seem to know more than you give me credit for.

If your answer was "phenols and other aromatics account simultaneously for both colouring and falvour", why didn't you just say that, we're not stupid!

the 'refining = loss of flavour' theory works in many cases, but what about rice, onions and other wholefoods where the darker is deeper? and even in the cases where refining is the answer, what are the dark, flavoursome chemicals which are lost? my basic knowledge of chemistry tells me that they co...

Why does dark food always have a much deeper flavour than its light counterpart? Examples: Sugar Bread Rice Pasta Beer Wine Rum (alcohol in general) Chocolate Onions Please note, I don't mean stronger flavour (white onions are stronger than red), I mean fullness and depth and range of flavours (red ...

I knew Josh well at school, and kept in contact with him after we left. I last saw him in August 2005, but since then have heard nothing of him. I cannot seem to contact him, nor can two other mutual friends. If anyone has any information, please let me know, even if it's "He doesn't want to ta...

the police, whose powers are sadly curbed by the loony left and 'human rights'. :lol: :lol: :lol: go get yourself held without habeas corpus for a few days (no lawyer, no phone calls, no visiting, nobody told of your detention) like what happened to some asians i know recently. crime? owning a shop...

Eh? Religion is somehow more moral than atheism (or just ignoring religion)? OK, let's think of the implications here: Religions are by definition anti-democratic. Like that fact, loathe that fact, or bury your head in the holy sand, it's true. Before explaining about how it isn't true, and you will...
