I should like to thank our prospective Conservative candidate, the splendidly-named Richard Drax, for his recent intervention in our relentless slide towards 'fuel poverty' (which, after all, is where we're all going to end up in a few years). This kind man has supplied us with paper, with which I can light the woodburner, for the last three days running. Admittedly he has stuck a picture of himself on each sheet for some reason, along with some seductive prose about 'wanting our country back'. This got my attention, but I'm afraid he lost me again with six hundred words of waffle topped off with the truly terrible '...as Conservatives we are striving to achieve the impossible and more besides.'
Mr Drax plans a new Earth, yesterday
Mr Drax plans a new Earth, yesterday...don't. For the love of Pete, strive to achieve the possible. And if you must bombard me with leaflets containing less information than the plot of a particularly poorly-scripted porn flick, at least print them on recycled paper.

I take you speak about poorly-scripted porn flicks with the authority of someone who has studied them for author-related reasons ;)
Well, it sounds a bit like the rhetoric of alien invasion. Well, yes. Conservatives. 'Orrible, really.
Yikes, no offense meant really, but that picture makes me think of the big brute in Superman II. You know, Zod's henchman.
I think he looks Ming the Merciless from the Flash Gordon Movie.
For those not into Brit-flicks, I should point out that the photo in the article is the actor Michael Lonsdale, playing the part of Hugo Drax in the 1979 James Bond film, Moonraker (James Mason turned the part down). The real Richard Drax MP is far more likely to sue.
