Expat Tories

Via Antonia, I found out about the weird and wonderful world of expat Tory bloggers today. Like most Tory bloggers, they are Very Angry about the most things, particularly the state of England, and don't even have day to day contact with how things actually are here to challenge their prejudices even slightly.

I don't recommend spending much time reading their stuff (that way lies madness), but to give an idea of the kind of contributions that they make to the common good, here is one complaining about the failure of newspapers to report allegations that John Prescott has a dossier about a love affair between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and here is one about how John McDonnell's policies are broadly similar to the BNP because they agree about restoring the link between pensions and earnings (there is a sort of acknowledgement that this is a load of shite later that day).

My favourite, though, is this one, a lengthy diatribe about how terrible it is that people are moving from the country they were born in to work in other countries...
