You need escapism in your life

[ladymuck]

I have "Magick in theory and practice" by Crowley.

Total bollox

[MarillionFan]

Jilly Cooper !?!? That's up there with running through wheat? Whatever happened to Tories saying Anton Szandor LaVey or Crowley!

[hobnob]

indeed totally inappropriate in my opinion. Not something I would read with my kids even in their 20s.

It looks like the Metro article has been edited. It now says:
Rishi Sunak has admitted to reading Jilly Cooper novels for ‘escapism’.
(No mention of his kids.)

One of his daughters is just about old enough but the other is still primary school age.




All that is probably too woke for R!sh!'s household.

Jilly Cooper for your kids? The steamy equestrian bonk series is for young Ladies Jilling off! Its teenage girl fifty shades from memory.

To be fair we read Mog,Dave , dinosaurs like pants and postman pat for the under 5s, Winnie the pooh and peter rabbit for slightly older and Jaqueline Wilson for the pre teens.

Good thing I'm not the PM. My love of zombies would not go down well.

Proof if ever any were ever needed that the PM has very serious reputational issues.
Its bad enough any adult reading that tulip but inflicting it on your kids? surely that must be classed as abuse?

Rishi Sunak has admitted to reading Jilly Cooper novels with his two children for ‘escapism’.

There are so many double entendres we can make about what is likely to become a memorable moment in British politics, only to be compared to an episode from The Thick of It.

Opening up about his guilty pleasures, the politician said he enjoys reading novels by the author of ‘The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous’ in his spare time.

Though he did not specify which ones, it was previously reported his favourite one is ‘Riders’ – the steamiest in the Rutshire Chronicles series.
After touching on net migration and teachers’ salaries, Mr Sunak detailed his passion for the books.


He told ITV’s This Morning: ‘You need to have escapism in your life. You need to be able to get away from the day to day, whether it is the TV you watch or the books you read.’

‘Fundamentally I am a dad, I play top trumps, Lego, I read Jilly Cooper with them, I am unclear how that has emerged,’ the Tory leader told viewers.

Forced to recover after Alison Hammond joked that she loves a Jilly Cooper book, especially the ‘sexy bity’, he insisted: ‘She has done a lot of different books.’

Away from ‘bonkbuster’ literature, the PM was briefly asked about letting Suella Braverman ‘off the hook’ after clearing her without an investigation of breaching the ministerial code.
