Dear readers,
So here we are.  After 2 years, 8 months, 12 days and 2,196 blogposts, I’m sorry to say that this is the end for Letters From A Tory.  My website is still funded for another few months so it won’t be disappearing just yet, but this is the last time you’ll hear from me.  Although the [...]

Dear readers,
Bloody hell, I go away for a weekend and what do I find when I get back? David Cameron trying to sell the family silver (and several of his colleagues’ careers) in front of the entire world’s media, Nick Clegg assuming a position of relevance that his shocking election performance does not even begin to [...]

Dear readers,
As we reach the end of 2009, a host of bloggers have jumped in with their predictions for what will happen in 2010.  However, I have decided to continue the recent trend on this blog of predicting things that will not happen instead.  Here we have my 10 predictions for things that you definitely [...]

Dear readers,
I have returned from my extremely sunny holidays to find that, somewhat to my dismay, that Britain still does not have sunny weather in November.  Thankfully, I was glad to see that my ten predictions for things that probably wouldn’t happen while I was away all passed with flying colours.  Having flicked through a few [...]

Dear readers,
Sadly I am taking a blogging break while I grab some much needed sun, sea and sand (possibly simultaneously) until Sunday 8th November.  In the meantime, I leave you with a set of predictions for the 10 things that will probably NOT happen while I’m away:
1. The collective IQ of postal workers suddenly breaks into double [...]

Dear readers,
I’m going away for a few days over New Years so now is the time for me to say a big thank you to everyone who has read and commented on my blog over the last 365 days.  My letters continue to provoke debate, spark fiery exchanges and put my relationship with my girlfriend on [...]

Dear readers,
I’m having a brief break from blogging as I will be attending the Conservative Party conference for the first time ever.  Not sure what it will be like, although I’ve been told to expect lots of sausage rolls and warm wine.  Anyway, here are my five predictions for the next few days:
1. The press [...]

Dear readers,
I’m off to Scotland for a week so blogging will be pretty impossible.  My letters will return on Sunday 7th September, so until then I thought I would leave you with the latest collection of google searches that have brought people to my blog (with a few comments from me in brackets).  Have fun in the [...]

Blogging will return on Tuesday morning, after a couple of days of excellent food courtesy of my mum.  Hope you are enjoying the freezing temperatures and snow that March so regularly brings….

…I’m going on holiday so blogging is postponed until 7/8th January.  Have a fantastic New Year and I will return to the blogosphere in 2008, fully refreshed from some scuba diving in Egypt.
Best wishes
A.Tory
