I have a Tory friend.  Just the one, I think.  He's a very nice chap, did extremely well for himself.  We tend not to talk politics, as there is really no point.  And anyway, there's a bit of jealousy on my side, that he's got a stash in the bank and owns a few houses.    One problem I can see, is that if the relationship goes somewhere, I presume you will have to meet his friend and possibly family.  Are they Tory too?  One on their own I can deal with, but a cluster of them, it could become a bit of a problem.  In situations like that, I find myself becoming very Old Labour.    I suppose it depends on why he's a Tory.  If he's an out and out fascist, I'd steer clear.  Unless he's drop dead gorgeous, then all bets are off.    Is it me, or do most Tory women have a propensity for podginess?
