11th February Lee Anderson: The caring face of the Conservative Party


Just when you thought the Tories might be getting a bit too hard nosed, along comes new deputy party chair Lee Anderson to show the caring face of the party. 

'30p Lee' came to the public's attention  after his groundbreaking TV cookery show in which he demonstrated he could cook a meal for just 30p providing he had access to Jamie Oliver's entire kitchen staples cupboard and cooked in batches of 1000 portions. 

Then he showed his increasingly soft centre by saying it was utterly ridiculous for a fireman, nurse or teacher to ever need access to a food bank and that they should be shot (just a flesh wound not anything fatal) if they were ever seen within 100 yards of a community kitchen.

Now just a few days ago, in his first compassionate act as deputy party chair he has revealed that he is in favour of the death penalty for murders and radio interviewers who ask him difficult questions. The death penalty according to Mr Anderson stops crime as has been shown categorically in the USA where in the 24 states that have capital punishment there is absolutely no crime at all.

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to confirm that in the next week Mr Anderson will take aim at students, single mums, pensioners, asylum seekers but stranglely not at those within his own part who have been accused of bullying, staging fake interviews or breaking the ministerial code.

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
