The real question is: how much abusive email do you think it will take for them to delete me, or will I be trapped in the icy clutches of the fox-hunting free-marketeers for eternity???
Don't let being a card-carrying tory bother you.

New Conservative leader David Cameron plans to take "tough decisions" to tackle global warming, he has said.
He began to put his stamp on policy by focusing on the environment and naming Zac Goldsmith and Sir John Gummer as leaders of the Tories' new Quality of Life Policy Group.
But his plans have been criticised because the group will not report back for 18 months.
Labour Environment minister Ben Bradshaw said: "We don't need to wait to know what needs to be done about the environment."
At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Mr Cameron expressed his support for a successor treaty to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The new Tory leader has described the environment and quality-of-life issues as "central to my political agenda". And he says he wants the new group to look at issues such as climate change, transport policy and energy.
Mr Goldsmith, 30, is the son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith.
The brother of socialite Jemima, he has devoted his energy and resources to environmental and anti-capitalist campaigning.
I'm sure you'll feel right at home with them.
Eh? Just because he's trying to portay himself as green-friendly doesn't make him an anti-capitalist (as that article would imply)! But then, that's sky news for you.
Though it does remind me of the time this Tory I know was arguing with me over politics and said "well what was so wrong with feudalism anyway?"
I have called him an anti-capitalist ever since! (mainly to annoy him)
Oh, and I'll try not to let the Tory thing bother me. I will however email them every day (several times) asking for removal and possibly visit their offices (perhaps in a suspicious looking padded jacket to worry them)!
Or you know, just with bombs...
