Activists don't really do humour



Tory conference: LGBT group unveils politics-themed condoms

Conservative activists will be offered free condoms and dental dams at this year's party conference.

The prophylactics - featuring humorous slogans such as "strong and stable" and "honourable member" - will be handed out by the LGBT+ Conservatives group.

Strewth, politics could hardly be less edifying than it is already but some people clearly think there is further to go down the primrose path. 

Although the story itself does have more than a hint of BBC malice woven into it.

OK. I give up. What is a dental dam?

I doubt if there is much malice from the BBC, as it is a LGBTetc. group.

It looks like some silly little careerist organising it wants to be better known within the party. The main trouble for them is that we have now had a string of useless Tory lightweights acting as if being in government is some sort of right, and an opportunity to have a spiffing good laugh while one is there. A bit like Oxbridge, but with jolly decent pay. Cameron exuded it. Boris had all that problem over cakes and parties, and now the papers are full of him enjoying himself on this summer's second holiday. And Penny Mordaunt, splendid gal, do anything for a laugh, took a bet to see how often she could say the word "cock" in a Parliamentary speech.

Just the sort of people you want to be running the country with civil disorder threatened over inflation, heating bills and a housing crisis, and Putin threatening to go nuclear. Let's party!

Doonhamer - I had to look it up - think oral sex.

Sam - I think the malice is in the publicity, where the BBC knows this kind of stunt will seep into the perceptions of older Tory voters and any who are actually conservative.
