Immortalised by spitting image, as were all that batch of politicians. I can’t say much really as I have no idea what he was like.

Who cares if she can cook or not? (I believe that she can but heigh-ho).  She has something which appeals to me more than her cooking skills.

I lived through it - in my humble opinion not far short of a Nazi - a member of the "every man for himself and f*** everyone else" brigade. Tried to take on the international money markets and took a mighty spanking that cost the tax payers multi multi millions and never apologised for what by any standards was an incredibly idiotic move.

Always loved that his name was an anagram of 'we all sign on'.

Instant Karma is never gonna sound the same now.

I have a Nigella book which is probably my most used cookbook. How much of it she wrote I don't know. 

Nigel. Yes less of a Tory tosspot than the current Tory tosspots but he made his career on Thatcherite economics which laid the foundations of our housing and public transport problems, dismantling public services and he supported homophobic legislation. Eventually resigned (I suppose that's a good thing as today's tosspots won't) over mishandling of the economy. Tramp the dirt down as Elvis Costello might say.

Edit: there was a 2 day gap for anyone to be nice about him and no one managed it.

Some people just naturally take against other people. My wife can’t stand her.. 
I find her attractive, physically..
Never thought much of her dad..

He was also the BBC's climate-change-denier of choice in the days when they thought it was "unbiased" to always have one person from each side of the argument whenever they discussed Global Warming.

FWIW, I'm not a fan of Nigella either.

I guess that generation of brexiteers and free-market fundamentalists is passing away, leaving us to deal with their miserable legacy.

Anyone who names their offspring after themselves is of dubious mind in my books, and my daughter Markla agrees…

Me neither.  BTW, I didn't realise that one of the things that sealed Nige's fate was his opposition to the Poll Tax.
