The Matching Tie was all over BBC Breakfast today!
I know what you mean mopsa but when you consider the alternatives ... well .... perhaps better the devil you know than an old codger or an eton dimtory.
But why, why why, invite the absolute arch enemy of socialism and community into the current powerhouse - so stupid, so unnecessary, so misguided that it makes me question GBs judgement as never before. The woman may have been full of convictions but many of them were truly evil. If I think more on this I might burst. On to calmer topics.
