(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
At their party conference this week, the Tories have announced the need for yet more radical austerity and belt-tightening measures – especially for the country’s working poor.
And Tory party delegates celebrated the news of yet more hardship for millions of their fellow citizens in their usual way:
Isaac – the young Tory who tweeted his jolly bottle of conference Bolly – is up and coming in the Tory Party:
He’s regional chairman of the Young Conservatives (now known as Conservative Future) – and he’s fully endorsed by leading members of the party:
.
In fact, the rise of young Conservatives like Isaac shows the Tories are managing to line up another whole generation of Bollinger-quaffing out-of-touch posh boys to take over the leadership of the party from Cameron, Osborne and Boris once they’ve retired to their country estates and the House of Lords.
.
Please feel free to comment. And share. Thanks:

“Look at how we struggle, it’s bolly, not chateau la fete! And have you the awful food that we are forced to eat? The foie gras is disgustingly cheap, only seven pounds a jar. I can only afford 30k to spend on a brand new car! The rich are really suffering, we’re desperate for more. The only way that we’ll survive is by taking from the poor. We don’t believe in poverty, it’s a lifestyle that they choose. Now bugger off you smelly plebs, I need some bloody booze!!!”

Tom – Perhaps you should try Googling him. The results are not quite the same as the picture you paint! Jumping to political conclusions from one silly tweet by a 16-year old isn’t journalism.

On the other hand, Isaac Duffy finding himself highlighted and criticised on various web sites for his underage alcohol use might give him and his parents pause for thought about his behaviour…… (and hopefully also his politics!)
So Tom, if that was the point of the item then it was a good one. Was it?

This ‘future leader’ (appropriately named Duffy!) thinks changing the title of the information will make a difference to the content….. just like the Tories, he’s been learning well from the New Labour spin machine.
The Blair government was the innovator, so all credit for this new English politics to Blair, Cambdell, Mandelson, Crosland, et al!

I phoned Ed (you know which Ed FinkFurst, say no more) and he just purred down the phone, before wetting himself laughing at the revelation that austerity hit Tories not only drink cheaper champagne than he, they think ONE BOTTLE is enough to see them through an entire Party conference.
I don’t mind letting you know this as we both agree that tattling about mistakes made by politicians in their private lives is NOT journalism .

Hi, my name is Zara, I think I should explain things. I was putting Isaac up for conference at my house and he bought it for me as a thank you present, and to be honest, it was cheaper than a hotel over conference. It was a kind gesture that has been taken out of context.
[Zara – Thank you for your comment. I’ve taken your email address off because there are a lot of people who visit this site and I wouldn’t want you getting any offensive messages to your private account. In the interests of free speech and balance, tell Isaac I’m willing to allow him to post a refutal to my blog post if he wants to. My email address is on the ‘contact’ page above if he wants to contact me.] – TOM

He’s only 16, so if he bought alcohol for you then he broke the law, and so did the shop where he bought it. Did you report both of them to the police?

I don’t know how he got it, but I don’t think he’s think he’s dumb to try and buy it himself. Either way, I appreciated the sentiment, especially as I didn’t expect any gifts in return for letting him use my house.

I’m afraid this story is rather misleading. I was with Isaac yesterday and he was pretty shaken and upset by all of this- contrary to this post, Isaac is working class. His Mum works stacking shelves in Asda and his Dad is an electrician. He goes to a state school and comes from a labour-voting family of miners. As he tells it, he couldn’t afford a hotel so Zara offered to set him up for the night. Isaac then asked his Mum to buy a bottle of champagne as a thank-you gift. He intended to send the picture to Zara with the caption “now have everything I need for #CPC14” referring to the bottle as his gift to Zara, but did not realise he had also tweeted it. At the end of the day, he was giving a friend a present and didn’t drink any himself. He’s 16 years old and has enough to deal with, without posts like this.

Just a little question zararawr…… Why do you think he said “Now have everything I need for Party Conference” rather than “Here’s the champagne I bought for the kind person who gave me hospitality during the conference”?

This whole story is ridiculous. Regardless of the context, it is just immoral to treat a sixteen year old boy in such a nasty manner just because of his political views.
Fine – he made a mistake which seems to brilliantly reinforce your worldview. But it was a mistake, nothing more. People do occasionally make them, and teenagers more than most of us.
And he’s sixteen. He’s not Cameron or Osborne or Boris or any Tory MP. Like any teenager, he deserves to not be bullied and barracked, and particularly not by adults behind computer screens.
Forget the politics. This is just wrong.

There is a difference between barracking a 16 year old and barracking adults who defend irresponsible behaviour such as underage drinking. So far Mr Duffy (junior) has not posted a message on here, only adults have, though apparently not his parents or anybody from Conservative Future. If he were to write an explanation himself then I for one would treat him as the teenager that he is.

It astounds me that you’re actually trying to justify your behavior. This has nothing to do with barracking adults who are defending irresponsible drinking. This is about a group of left-wing adults who are making some extremely nasty comments and sweeping character judgments about a sixteen year old lad, based upon a single ill-advised tweet which you have twisted completely out of context.
You’ve found an easy target, promoted a flood of spiteful messages across social media, and all simply to reinforce your worldview about young Tories. It’s bullying, and whether or not you can be sued for it, it is completely wrong. Conservative, socialist, liberal; no teenager deserves to be on the receiving end of such unpleasantness.
Why not put yourself in his shoes – and show just a modicum of compassion?
