This guy does and maybe has a recording of it:
The Nation’s Not-Quite-As-Favourite

There have been umpteen reasons for him to resign in the last few years. This ain’t one of them. So now I’m torn. He’s going which should please me but in circumstances that will fuck the bbc up even more.

Is she still considered a ‘rising star’ of the Conservative Party? That’s often an indication of a wrong ‘un.
