Hilary Mantel always looks so uber-cosy it is like finding out George Orwell did not actually like pigs Hilary Mantel always looks so uber-cosy it is like finding out George Orwell did not actually like pigs

So LRB – that WTAF moment when everyone's using a totally new acronym? Craig guessed "like, really bad" & Maria Miller thought "loathing the republic of Bulgaria" but Govey said well there used to be this trot rag, ask in the library, Vaizey was like, God if only you had asked last week, I guess you could try behind the counter in Marie Curie Cancer Care? But the ladies only had some old Horrible Histories & we were giving up when Cleggsy said he had suddenly found Miriam's LRB folded inside his Daily Mail #hereallythinkswearethatstupid. So Picklesy sniffs it, 100% luvvie apparently, then Vaizey shakes it & when they are sure it is safe Craig quickly opens & closes it & apparently Mantel really has written Kate lots of times, close to words like "damned" and "bugger". Craig's like, I am a broadminded former journalist but no way is this banter, Maria, call this LRB, remind it we are looking at Leveson.So LRB – that WTAF moment when everyone's using a totally new acronym?

So it is actually quite conflicting? Because of course writers are mad for socialism – why Daddy would never have books in the house – but Hilary always looks so uber-cosy it is like finding out George Orwell did not actually like pigs? Plus I know she should totally have stuck to talking wolves & Dave was right to call her out about Kate Middleton's execution, but it is quite annoying as in we were literally this far *places thumb and finger literally one inch apart* from naming the next important bag after her? So now we have to start again, I went to Dave, babes, even if Mantel's literary kaftans conceal a bitter republican whose misguided hatred of the constitutional monarchy is surpassed only by her allegiance to the discredited regime of Joseph Stalin, whose statue, according to her LRB article, she outrageously proposes to erect in Budleigh Salterton's historic town centre, maybe you could have considered the availability of other on-trend & award-winning lady writers on vintage themes before you dissed the inspiration for our Hilary tote? Bear in mind we have done an Antonia and Jeanette is not a Smythson kind of name?So it is actually quite conflicting?

Dave's like, simples, Cheryl Cole – Vaizey says My Story is literally the most moving thing EVER, plus she has never written for the LRB.Dave's like, simples, Cheryl Cole – Vaizey says My Story is literally the most moving thing EVER, plus she has never written for the LRB.
