Although I live in snobbish Tory/Lib-Dem Eastbourne, I work in Kemp Town. I was thus horrified to read that sacked Institute of Contemporary Arts director and ex-Tory Ivan Massow, the millionaire businessman, now fancies himself as a Kemp Town MP. What an arrogant pipe dream.
May I remind this insufferably conceited creature that in Dr Des Turner we already have an excellent, feisty, pro-gay rights, non-Tory, Old Labour MP of great distinction.
Rubbishing most UK modern art as "pretentious" (David Hockney, for instance?) got you a merited sacking, young chap. You can't buy into UK politics as you can in the US.
