Tory "Eh?" List: Has Oily Adonis Adam Finally Thrown Away the Tory Towel?


Jon Henley's Diary in the Guardian begins with POSSIBLE SAD NEWS that on hearing of the "Eh?" Lists demise Mr Adam Rickitt is packing his bags and heading for New Zealand. Which would be a great loss to the Cuddly Nu Tories.

As if that wasn't enough the Diary hits rock bottom and:
... is pleased to unveil a UK first: "dye for the hair down there". Available in five attractive shades, Betty Dye has, it says here, been "specially formulated for use on betty hair" because the harsh colouring chemicals in normal dye can, as we all know, cause irritation and inflammation in the sensitive betty area. We are, naturally, overjoyed, if still not altogether clear what a betty might be.

Adam might need some if he persists in getting his kit off. And the news certainly raises some questions of where the writers' colourful heads are at in the excellent new TV comedy Ugly Betty.
