Deputy Tory Deputy Chairman

[Canary42]

What a lovely guy. Shades of things to come from the Tories.

The new deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, Lee Anderson, has some worrying ideas.

He says that nobody has ever committed a crime after being executed.

He says that people needed to learn how to cook and budget properly rather than use food banks.

He says that nuisance council tenants should be put in a tent in the middle of a field.

While canvassing in press presence he's been caught on a microphone setting up a call at a supporter's house.

Sound bytes to capture the populist vote.

I bet this appeals to the AHR brigade.

What does that mean - and who are they?

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe the Andy Hughes Rebels, Naomi. A bunch of marauding music journalists who roam the countryside applying the 'So' rule and shouting 'but that's only your opinion' at innocent passers by.

[ToraToraTora]

sounds like a sensible chap.

[sandyRoe]

Does he want the executions held in public?
That would help cow the population.

Perfect for the job .

[Peter Pedant]

No one ever steals again if you hang them
I wondered if he had thought of that....

It just bears out, that the little comments you make may come back and haunt you. - - years later

Obit today Times of a Blair Babe who was a real goer and headline grabba..... but she was voted out on expenses ( way out the first, by a hundred thousand)

I did read that he was also deputy chair of Mensa but that may have been a joke. :-)

Is this the Anderson who can't take on his new promotion right now because,he is on a sun soaked holiday in South America with The Home Affairs select committee at Tax payers expense.
It seems like a very select committee to me.

Douglas 09.46 Does that mean he is understudy to TTT

If all of that is true (in the OP), then Lee Anderson is doing a good job for the Labour Party. Not quite as big a to ss er as Bojo the Clown but should help to lose the Tories lots of votes.
