The northern goth scene was something really quite fun. Well, what I can remember of it.

It's the claim about the pig's head that was gone round the world. And one we'll doubtless be reminded of when the demonstrators at the Tory conference are all wearing pig masks.

Indeed we had a conversation about how we could delay revealing my tax arrangements until after the election”. He has alleged “that the prime minister conspired to mislead the public before the 2010 election about his knowledge of Ashcroft’s non-dom tax status”. '<br /><br />Why the change from the 1st person to the 3rd person. Ashcroft hasn't alleged it, he either stone cold knew it because it was about him and a conversation he had, and has done since the moment it happened, or not. If it is true then Ashcroft has deliberately sat on the information through both the 2010 and 2015 elections to reveal it now, when he knows full well Cameron isn't standing for election again. <br /><br />A bit late to be outraged at the PM's dishonesty having concealed the truth for over 5 years presumably for the same reason as the PM, to avoid hurting the Conservative Party electorally.Stephen Wigmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604582974059809054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-20375031826212327352015-09-22T15:37:11.256+01:002015-09-22T15:37:11.256+01:00A depressing number of people are coming out sayin...A depressing number of people are coming out saying that the pig episode (if it ever happened) was just 'top bantz' and we should applaud such laddism. The same laddism that in my day (the 1990s) we called aggressive sexism and potential assault. <br /><br />It's a dangerous attitude to take. Remember the election campaign, where so much was made of the noise on social media and, as you'd put it Tim, the people who speak loudly in restaurants? In the end what swung it was the 'quiet Tories' - the suburbanites and small townsfolk, who definitely don't go to debauched parties and will most likely be appalled by the stories emerging. <br /><br />He may have won the respect of a few proto-libertines (well, libertine for people like them, and until the money runs out anyway), but this will not sit well with much of Middle Britain.
