Another Tory who needs to be slapped around his insufferably smug face with a very slimy halibut.

He reminds me of Piers from Alan B'Stard...

I have much the same reaction every time I see or hear Mandelson.

MinnieMalone · 29/03/2010 08:23

He is a caricature of a 'New Tory' politican. Creepy.

Apart from the fact that Krishnan Guru-Murthy "will be asking the tough questions" (he gets on my tits) I Can't wait to see George Osborne make a complete arse of himself tonight on Channel 4.

It's going to be the most uncomfortable viewing.

Do you know he is actually calld Gideon and was a member of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford, known for it's riotous behaviour and only open to sons of aristocrats and the wealthy, what what!

BariatricObama · 29/03/2010 08:36

gideon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ShadeofViolet · 29/03/2010 08:36

No wonder he changed his name to George

OP - YANBU, his voice is grating too.

ShadeofViolet · 29/03/2010 08:39

Actually I think its his middle name - still awful though.

ShadeofViolet · 29/03/2010 08:39

Scrap that, im wrong.

ShadeofViolet · 29/03/2010 08:40

He wanted to become a journalist - says it all really!

MinicronPerseiEgg · 29/03/2010 08:45

My mum used to volunteer for a charity, he was involved and one day all the volunteers overheard him talking about them (speakerphone left on) and he was so obnoxious they all walked out. This was years ago.

no he eats them in a peasant stew

DuelingFanjo · 29/03/2010 08:55

both his nan's are dead, fact. Though of course he may still love them I suppose.

ShadeofViolet · 29/03/2010 08:56

He isnt even 40! - all that hard drinking has certainly taken its toll!

ClumsyTorySpindoctor · 29/03/2010 08:59

all tories take special medication to age them, look at william hague

DuelingFanjo · 29/03/2010 09:01

Nans not nan's

Seabright · 29/03/2010 09:22

He always looks so shiny. His face looks like it's made of the same stuff that those wipe-clean table clothes are made off.

I know that's not his fault, but it's all I can think of when I look at him

JoeyBettany · 29/03/2010 10:20

I think he's vile.

How appropriate his name is the same as the immoral cad in 'Vanity Fair' , I always think to myself.
