“Just reading about the things we have had to put up with can still make your blood boil: pointless one-way systems, taped-over park benches, petty police threatening road blocks and trolley searches to check for essential items at supermarkets.
We were told, for example, to avoid butterfly stroke when pools were “busy” and informed that it is safer, bizarrely, to ignore friends in parks and not sing at weddings.”
"We found ourselves at the mercy of a whole new raft of bedwetting language: “loved ones”, “our NHS”, “passed” instead of “died”, delivered in a sort of soft, singsong, patronising Meghan-style whisper by people who were just longing to speed-dial the police on Priti Patel’s orders the moment you touched a “used” biro. None of it felt fair."
Yes she’s a massive Tory and just the sort I’d have expected to shag Bodger tbh so if she’s sticking the knife in like this I’m in massive approval and long may she rain this sort of stuff down thank you.
The Dukes of Newcastle were Whigs, so I'd be very surprised if she were a Tory. Judging from her commentary in the past, she understands very little about politics, but is extremely unpleasant to everyone she interviews.

When they read the quotes attributed to “senior politicians” in the ST articles on the political issue of the day?

Ah, Camilla Long, the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Newcastle, who famously mocked the poor for living in Thanet rather than Belgravia.

Remember how if you touched a book in Waterstones they put it on a quarantine trolley?
