I find this is immensely troubling. Identifying with Tory MPs. Whatever next? Sure it's a publicity stunt and highly politicised, but as things go, bravo. About bloody time.
Aye and not just any Tory - but David Davis at that. Hopefully I won't get done for libel - but if I ever shook hands with Davis I'd want to check my watch was still there after.
Still, well done to him.
Oh and Brown's apparent decision not to field a candidate is a joke.
I'm not sure I get it. It seems very stunty and he seems rather too pleased with himself. I'm glad he's against what he's against but this is an odd way to champion it. But who knows? Maybe it'll snowball and the revolution will begin in Haltemprice & Howden.
Oh I should also have said that - following the Londonist link - I'm rewarding myself with a large whisky if I can weave the phrase, "A good psychogeographical work of text art" into a conversation in the coming week.
Alan - right, if anyone had told me years ago I'd be cheering on a Tory like him I'd never have believed it.
BiB - it is a stunt - but you have to think, when a senior Conservative politician is driven to pulling stunts like this to draw attention to an issue, we are really fucked and things are in a bad, bad way.
Alan - you mean, this is not a phrase which you use in everyday conversation?

I KNOW! It's a topsy-turvy old world at the moment.
