Tories put a stopper in champagne lifestyle
These are hard times for conspicuous consumption in't north.
No sooner do the Conservatives set about essential missionary work in Manchester than Eric Pickles declares a ban on the consumption of t'shampain.
Clearly this is just wrong and although mild beer may be good enough for Pickles and other whippet fanciers in Keighley it just won't cut it with chaps like Alan Duncan.
An old boy of Greenhead Grammar School like our Eric may be happy to hit the sack on a nightcap of warm Vimto but Dave Cameron didn't study hard at Eton, learning to correctly pronounce Veuve Clicquot, just to waste heady nights searching out the Lambrini bars of Canal Street.
All of which has what to do with cars?
And well might you ask.
For the love of bubbles, the story was all over the Mail, Telegraph and even made a filler in the Weathefield Gazette.
All it will take is one motor industry accountant to see this tosh and there won't be a half decent slosh of Lanson to be had at even the most important one-litre hatchback launch.
The country expects Tories to know better. Come on you slack-jawed Henrys and get the Krug corks a'poppin. Don't you know there's a recession on? You don't want to be responsible for the collapse of the bulk wine sales industry because motoring hacks are going under-watered, do you?
