Bye bye Arabella. Or be quiet.
Here are the long-awaited results of the Arabella Weir poll.
Go on hunger strike 14%The clear winner is the second option: that she should throw herself under a horse at Ascot. Just to help her, here's tomorrow's Ascot card. There are six races for her to choose from.
Throw herself in front of a horse at Ascot 39%
Chain herself to the railings outside Boris' house 23%
Leave London 25%
Alternatively, she could just keep her trite, ignorant leftie drivel to herself in future.

May 9th, 2008 9:09pmTut, tut, Stephen: Arabella is a profound, savvy political commentator. You should hang on her lips, garnering every pearl of wisdom with admiration. Or maybe not.

May 11th, 2008 12:10pmVerity, there seems to be some censoring in action - my comment about the ghastly England-hating Ustinov on the other thread, which agreed with Stephen, never got published!
