Every time I see one of that line of adverts, I want to start throwing things.

Me too. I usually restrict myself to muttering abusive words, or sticking two fingers up at it. The hospitals one made me very angry as it's the Tories' fault the NHS doesn't have its own cleaning staff any more, and the one about 'the law should protect me, not burglars'? Argh! I want to go and punch someone, and I'm not sure who.

A burglar, shurely?

Which I'd be entirely in my rights to do, if I found one in my house, of course.

The urge always used to be to punch Michael Portillo (right in his fatlipped smug-bastard mouth), but he's not an MP anymore.

I remember during an election campaign a few years back, Labour sent a letter asking for campaign donations round to its membership. For a specified amount, they would put up a billboard in the constituency of your nominated most-hated Tory MP. Then it said, "Don't all pick Michael Portillo!".

I thought Michael Portillo was the current MP for Kensington and Chelsea?

Is he? I thought he stood but didn't get it?

He stood and got it, but stood down at the last election.
