Ha ha ha..... I first saw the article in French in Nouvel Obs. and it quoted its source as the DT....I just followed the clue...[:)]

Ah Normie, revealed at last. All your left wing cows' pat is just a cover. You are a Telegraph man and even better, a TORY, perhaps even better, a freemason. I wondered why you rolled up your trouser leg at every opportunity.
