I wish I knew which article Newswire was trying to link to with his provocative headline, and I’d fix it…

Have the eeevil Tories killed any small animals too?

What have the Tories done?

Do you mean object to Brown’s off-the-cuff panicky proposals?

Did you see the YouTibe video btw?

Play it without sound – it’s hilarious…

whoopsie, link fixed! thanks Jennie.
