A lot of them appear to be working class folk who've got a bit of cash. It's amazing how getting money makes people turn Tory.

Who on that list would you say was working class? As I don't think too many of them are
that's interesting as the tories are always being sterotyped as total toffs
Not at all. I live in an area that would still be Tory if they put a puppet up as the new MP and it's certainly not a 'toff' area. Tbh, I have never heard anyone use that expression apart from on DS since I was about 12.
I would say a typical Tory is someone with aspiration and who wants a bit more out of life than a dead end job, state hand outs and a council house. That's no disrespecting those who are happy with their life like that btw.

There's loads more, these just off the top of my head.
I hope this clears the Phil collins myth up once and for all!
Phil Collins has stated he has never voted for the Tories
"He has since maintained that he has never voted Conservative.
Nonetheless, the matter still comes up far more often than he would like it to. Before the General Election in 2005, Noel Gallagher took a pop: “Vote Labour. If you don’t and the Tories get in, Phil is threatening to come back from Switzerland – and none of us want that.” Collins’s response? “I don’t care if he likes my music or not. I do care if he starts telling people I’m a w****** because of my politics. It’s an opinion based on an old misunderstood quote.”

I live in Scotland and even people who fall into this category wouldn't cop to voting Tory
Oh- my nomination: Phil Collins. One of the "I'll leave if Labour get in" brigade...:rolleyes:
Least he kept his word!:p
Why do people slavishly believe everything they read in the tabloids? :rolleyes:
Phil Collins left Britain in 1994 - three years before Labour were even elected!! - and has said TIME AND TIME AGAIN that he left because he met a woman who lived abroad.
Good to see Paul Daniels on the list. A man who threatened to leave the UK if Labour won the 1997 election. The day of the result, the Daily Mirror sent a removal van round to his house.

Is Chris Rea a definite or just a guess? I quite like some of his stuff. Not that I'd stop liking his stuff just because of how I voted-but then, I wouldn't listen to Gary Glitter in quite the same way anymore, so I suppose an artist's private life does become important in their appraisal at some stage.
In January 2001, Bruno announced that he wanted to stand as the Conservative candidate in the traditionally safe Tory seat of Brentwood and Ongar against the independent MP Martin Bell. However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Conservative Central Office. http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Bruno_Frank.html
Surprised this has never been picked up by the press. Not sure if it's a pi$$ take, as the BNP aren't known for their sense of humour :eek:
Not only is Frank a huge Tory supporter, he actually tried to stand as MP in Brentwood when he lived around here.
Not exactly sure what happened but he didn't get in.
it's a safe seat but even the most hardened Tory voter might have thought twice when his campaign slogan was 'Don't be a plank, vote for Frank'

I remember this being brought up when Paul Daniels appeared on Have I Got News For You. He said he was only going to leave if Labour returned to the 80+% rates of income tax they levied on the rich in the '70s. Because "New Labour" didn't raise income tax on the rich, Daniels was happy to stay.

Isnt it madatory for Scousers to hate Mrs Thatcher?? :eek:

Poor David
We need to collect as many Tory voters as possible.
Come on you blues!
lol! i'm irish but my brother in law votes for the tories but I quite like cameron I have to admit and I have an irrational love for boris johnson
I didn't think babs would be tory
Eastender made good, of course she's a Tory.
The home counties are full of Cockneys with cash and they're as Blue as you can get.

All very working class, and certainly not born with money.
I didn't mean to insult you! sorry if i did
No you didn't at all. It's just a view that I read on DS that I wasn't really aware of before.
Suppose I just move in Tory voting but normal circles
I hope this clears the Phil collins myth up once and for all!

My Bro in law votes tory! he's also completely normal
I took an interest although I am in ireland because i'm interested in politics
i'm a member of Fine Gael which is the main oppostion party in Ireland- hopefully we'll be doing a tory soon enough though
Apparently Simon Cowell voted for the tories this year and cheryl voted labour
I live in Scotland and even people who fall into this category wouldn't cop to voting Tory
Unless you're already quite posh...

No chance. Most people would rather believe what they read in the likes of The Sun than what the man says himself. After all, what would he know?
As the old saying goes, a lie gets half way around the world before the truth has got its boots on.
seriously? That's hilarious if true.
