Well good to see that the the Tories are sticking to their 'traditional values' while accusing Labour of betraying theirs. However, since the traditional Tory values appear to be meanness, unprovoked personal attacks and doubling down on unsuccessful economic and international policies I'm not sure this is any special reason to vote for them.

Bonkers Royals

Ah, the good old wacky Thai monarchy - Srirasmi Suwadee can weather the public release of candid photos showing her in just a thong and can (officially) make her poodle a Chief Marshal of the Thai air force but god forbid that her brothers should undermine the system by criticising the monarchy.

What a retrograde and insane system for a twenty first century country.
