As a fully paid-up* member of the Polish Friends** of the Conservative Party Club I strongly object to two things: describing grassroots party activists as 'swivel-eyed' and, more importantly (at least until I l look it up), the party's top ranks using words I don't know.
*in the intellectual currency
**characterised by an on/off loyalty (more 'off'' these days)
PS I agree with Archbishop Cranmer (illustration) that one of the real swivel-eyed (whatever that means) loons is Geoffrey Howe.
