Derek Laud

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Laud

Neatly encapsulating the 'crisis of competence' that plagues modern-day Celebrity Britain, Del-Boy is famous for appearing on Big Brother some time ago, for thinking it's still ok in 2007 to rip the throats out of foxes with a pack of dogs, and for being pals with those champions of the sewer end of the Tory market, Neil and Christine Hamilton. Well done Del, you're great you are (so great indeed that you are "one of Britain's most famous Tories" according to Auntie Beeb - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4311070.stm - wow, Cameron and his chums are aiming high, aren't they?)
Of course some would say that, being black and gay, Laud is the acceptable face of the modern, inclusive Tory party. But a face is skin-deep; scrape beneath the surface and the marauding massed hordes of spiteful middle England are still there, jostling occasionally for space with the odd Asian businessman or 'pink entrepreneur', but generally ensuring that the Tory party remains the purest white, and that any sexual 'oddities' are kept well and truly repressed. Which leads me to wonder, Derek - "Do you really hate yourself so much?".
