Enfield Town market place, circa 1987-ish.
A chap with a blue rosette was shaking hands and sucking babies' lollies out of their mouths with his own mouth.
Being very interested in politics at the time I wandered up and asked him some question or other, probably on Marxism knowing me.
He firmly held my hand, huge grin, face too close to mine and replied with
"Will you be voting for me then?"
"I can't. I'm only 17."
He shoved me away (yes, shoved) and snarled
"Then **** off and stop wasting my time."
That was Michael Portillo.
The ****.
30 years later ... not forgotten ... still hating ...

When he was in politics I used to loathe the ground he slithered on. I do think he's more useful as a TV personality. Or whatever it is that he does.Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostComment

I met him at the Wandsworth Conservative club in 1999. His speech was boring and the "jokes" poor.Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostComment

Alan Clarke once quoted Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, when he said that Portillo was a 'politician's politician'.Originally posted by BrowneIssue View Post
Particularly prescient, as Portillo 'inherited' Alan's seat upon his death...
...and promptly lost it.

At a hotel Robbie Coltraine held open a door for a girl I was with, making a little extended eye-contact with her to try to get her to wonder who he was. Upon enquiring I told her, in a loud voice so he would hear "That's Scotland's finest actor", then "many famous films he's been in. The best? "Nuns on the Run"Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View Post
He gave me a scowl

When Rick Mayal was doing the research for Alan B'stard he contacted Portillo and interviewed him. I thought Portillo was fairly mild mannered if a little smug, but it would appear he's far more of a twat than I imaginedOriginally posted by expat View PostThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
