I’ve always said Conservatives are nutters.

I was delighted to read this morning that the Tories have lost eight million quid. This isn’t the best bit, though. The money, that Branislav Kostic, a dead man, had left to the Tories in his will, is going back to the family after a judge decided that Kostic was mentally ill when he made the will.
Well, you’d have to be if you were giving money to the Tories. Apparently, and you can check this with the BBC news link above, he exhibited the following signs of mental illness:
- Paranoia
- Delusion
- Admired Thatcher
- Wanted to donate his money to the Conservatives
The weird thing is though, that the BBC report reads like it is describing a typical Conservative voter. His son said Kostic was “deluded and insane”, and his support for the Tories was “in part the product of the state of his mind”.
No doubt his paranoia came from the worry that the existence of poor people might undermine the success of the free market at distributing wealth and his delusion stemmed from his belief that we need nuclear weapons.
“He was tormented by delusions that [his son] and other members of my family were part of a worldwide conspiracy of terrorists and criminals who were trying to kill him.” – yeah, that sounds pretty much Conservative thinking.
“The court heard that Mr Kostic had made the will after saying Margaret Thatcher was ‘the greatest leader of the free world in history’ and that she would save the world from the ’satanic monsters and freaks’.” Speaks for itself.
I think they ought to ban donations to the Conservative Party, or at least take it to be the first sign of mental illness.
