THREE RINGED NECK.

Even as a child, I never showed much enthusiasm for the circus. This was not directly a concern for animals, but the possibility of maltreatment was always present.

The author does, however, get interested in the subject when a stout Tory backbencher is instrumental in getting a vote through Parliament, banning animals from circuses. The MP concerned, the clean shaven Mark Pritchard, author of the bill, continues to be maligned by sycophantic Cameroons. One in particular, the scruffy chinned former army officer, Tobias Ellwood.

The real interest in this story probably lies in the fact that Pritchard thought seriously about his political affiliation; having been fostered in a council estate home, realizing that prudent conservatism was the way to go; whereas the arrogant sounding Ellwood is, more than likely, an automatically processed Tory.


TO MR. ELLWOOD I WOULD SAY, "GET SMART, GET A SHAVE".
