Nicholas Watt (Guardian) draws attention to this remarkable survival in the Conservative Club at Newark.
In a different constituency I once questioned why there was a picture of Ted on the wall of the Conservative Association office, and suggested it should be removed.
I was informed that the Association Secretary (a large woman in her mid-sixties) had a crush on Ted when she was in the YCs as a girl, and was still a little bit in love with him - all attempts to remove the portrait had been flatly refused, to the point of her throwing terrifying strops.
We compromised by turning the picture to the wall whenever we used the office for a meeting.
