Tories offered lap dance bargain

[Anarcho-Socialist]

Conservative MPs have been given discount vouchers for a lap dancing club near their party conference venue.

The vouchers, offering a £10 reduction on entry to Birmingham's Rocket Club, were in a booklet sent out to delegates with official conference literature.

The Tories meet later this month at the International Convention Centre, just yards from the club in Broad Street.

A Conservative party spokeswoman said the booklet had been put together by a Birmingham PR firm.

n July, the Conservatives called for communities to be given stronger powers to block the opening of lap dancing clubs.

Is this what they mean about having more women involved with the Conservative Party?

1. For once, Anne Widdecombe asked a good question here..

"Can you imagine what our old ladies are going to make of it if they turn up there by mistake?"

Mind you, I must admit that I find lapdancing clubs to be a bit boring in my experience. And expensive!

2. ""Can you imagine what our old ladies are going to...

... make of it if they turn up there by mistake?"

Guess it depends on whether there's any Chippendales dancers there...

4. yeah she did

Despite my quip in the OP, there are quite a number of females in the Tory Party, but many are (elderly and) part of the Christian right who find this kind of thing reprehensible.

I share Ms Widdecombe's disgust, but mine is from a feminist humanist perspective rather than a patriarchal religious one.

5. Aaarrgghh ...

My first response to

> "Can you imagine what our old ladies are going to make of it
> if they turn up there by mistake?"

was "Well they could take the chance to earn some more money!"
but then this nightmarish vision appeared of Widdecombe et al
dressed in the style of a lap-dancer ... my eyes, my brain,
my breakfast, my last vestiges of good taste, ooohhhh nnnnooooo!!!!!!

:scared:
