Unfortunately quite a few Scottish Conservatives seem a bit too fond of Scottish kitsch as well - plus what's all that Welsh language nonsense the Welsh Conservatives ramble on about at Party conference? Some Tories seem to think that they need to appear parochial and a bit too Nat-like for my comfort - in order to gain votes.Jeffrey Peelhttp://jeffpeel.netnoreply@blogger.com
