My fun spoilt.

Woe! Jesse Norman has disappointed me. He was introduced on "Any Questions" with reference to the Telegraph's having described him as "one of the brightest young Tory minds". Nick Clarke then mentioned his recent book "Compassionate Conservatism, what is it, and why we need it". I was delighted by this apparent evidence that this bright young Tory mind couldn't even string a coherent title together (hint - where does the question mark go?). Unfortunately, it seems the real title has it "what it is, and why we need it".

I like the idea of a "Tory mind", though, somehow defined by its quintessential connection to a political party. Bit Stalinist, somehow.
