    With those qualities, I thought she'd fit right in.

    Although I disagree with every word you say, I will defend your right to say it.

    I can only assume that in this celebrity worshipping culture we now inhabit, the Conservatives feel that her "celebrity presence" will lend some sort of credibility in the minds of the easily impressed (which is a huge swathe of the population).
    Agreed. Bit like Noel Gallagher advising on cool britannia. An aspect of democracy that I detest.
    But surely for any right thinking person this is just a massive negative? I'd find it hard to take seriously a party that considers dear Kirsty a credible advisor on anything just because she's been on telly, innit?
    Bizarre. :confused:
    I think the strategy is that right thinking people will realise that she isn't going to be writing policy; more that she is simply a celeb (and she was "recruited" as part of the Cameron brand-detoxification exercise), who might give a view that is consistent with the populace.
    A lot of people have been brought in as advisors; some a lot closer than her - not many have been able to write policy. Just ask Zac Goldsmith.
  • I actually quite like that dress.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I genuinely believed that there was more gravitas in your opinions on this board;)

    If we are talking about beenie, then yes that light blue top, with its nipple producing weave, works very well.
    If we are talking about Kirsty, then yes she looks quite good in that photo. I did point that out to the OH, not only did I get a slapped head, I also got a point pushed into my head that tv makes you look fatter than you really are.

    My opinion that the lenses available to make the Kirsty a size 10 aren't really that available on civillian budgets, didn't go down well.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    It's rather sad really. The two most infamous property rampers in the country are reduced to parodying themselves on a light entertainment show to make a few quid. How the mighty have fallen.

    I thought, to be honest, they were just there to plug their new series. The Project shows have recently featured people plugging one thing or another. I don't remember them always being like that.
