Hi guys! So it looks like the Tories've done it. They've actually duped people into thinking they're a real party. Which means that one day... who knows? Maybe they'll form a real government!Wouldn't that be fun? Proof, of course, that global warming's not only making us hotter but also stupider. Which is fine by us!
There's nothing we like more than a bit of public buffoonery to point and laugh at (though we can't help but think: if Londoners really wanted a racist mayor so badly, why didn't they just vote BNP?) We do, however, have one reservation: namely, what does this mean for the future of pop music. I know! BURNING QUESTION ALERT.
Because we at Independent House have real reason to believe that the Tories may actually be bad for record
sales. Crazy, no? But why? Well: it looks like they've got other more, uh, engaging work for the nation's entertainers. Or at least they do if the Daily Mail's to be believed.
It's rare that we give kudos to a paper that likes to call women fat but in this case we've got no choice. That's right boys and girls, cast your eyes over this little gem from Richard Kay's diary:
"His Tory colleagues will be green with envy, but Shadow Chancellor George Osborne has a secret weapon to help him with his figures -- Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. Osborne, 36, and his biographer wife Frances -- along with their two children -- were on hand to support Geri as she made her debut as a children's author with a party at London Zoo. And afterwards he told me how the two had hit it off. 'I got to know her when I sat next to her at a dinner for Unicef, for whom she is an ambassador. We then went to Wimbledon together last summer and yes, of course, I was at the Spice Girls reunion concert.'"
Of course, it's not quite as good as Madonna for President (or, in fact, Tom Cruise) but, you know, it's pretty damn close! Maybe we'll even get Donatella along for dinner. Now that would be an achievement.
