A little teaser:

Why do people become Tories? Radioactive scorpion bites? DNA spliced with weasels? An overwhelming psychosexual urge to do unto Britain what the physical appearance of most of them suggests was not done unto them by even the kindest-hearted local girls as adolescents (a period for Tories generally extending into their mid-40s)?

I skim read that. Yes it was crap. Was it the worst journalism ever? Not by a long way.

She had, at least, put it through a spell checker. yes

I don't think The Guardian consider Mangan to be one of their frontline political journalists. Anyway it's an opinion piece so she can write whatever she wants smile

Really? Because she refers to her husband as Anti-Cameroonian. Does that make him a racist?

Her husband sounds pretty cool.

Says a lot about her own confused left wingery that after he gave her a load of well stated reasons for being a conservative, she ended up by answering on his behalf that it was either because he was a historian or as counter reaction to everyone else hating Thatcher when he was growing up.

Why does the Guardian website always make my PC start to sound like an aircraft engine just before take off?

Her husband sounded right pillock to me.

She sounded an equal match for him. No wonder they are married.
