Tory Humour: Yet Another Bypass?


Iain Dale at 4am posted thusly:Could it soon be Arise Sir Robin Gibb? Tony Blair is continuing his habit of blagging freebie holidays from those who are either celebrities or those with honours, or preferably both. This New Year he's in Florida with Bee Gee Robin Gibb CBE. He's obviously gone downmarket this year, normally preferring to stay with the beknighted Sir Clifford Richard of this parish. It's reasonable to assume that Blair won't be serenaded with the 1987 Bee Gees Hit 'You Win Again'. More likely their 1981 song 'He's a Liar'.

LoL replied at a more reasonable hour:

But whereas You Win Again was a number 1 winner He's a Liar vanished without trace. Is it even real? Do you have it in your collection Iain? On your iPod? Aaaaargh. Seems to me he's escaped a taxiing Tragedy to end up Staying Alive. He is now looking forward to Tomorrow, Tomorrow and First of May but he may then have only Lonely Days to look forward to.

DECLARING AN INTEREST: The Gibbs used to live in the Chorlton area before they were transported to Australia as a forerunner of ASBO children. They went to Oswald Rd Primary nearby. And they possibly sponsored and certainly opened the music production suite at Chorlton High School, a non-PFI new-build creation - which was officially opened by Tony Blair himself. Daughter attends same. Son will follow in September.
