Do you believe in "signs" ...
Imagine being a Tory Councillor and the local PPC, when you walk into your dining room to find out that your darling, sweet, gorgeous 2 years old had gotten hold of your "lucky" Conservative rosette (the one you wore winning each of the last 5 local elections) and had coloured it in using a felt-tip pen.
Then imagine - as you react calmly and lovingly to this incident - discovering she had coloured it with a red felt-tip pen.
Top to bottom red scrawled over the blue, the logo, the lot ... it is as bad as you think.
So either a sign of my impending defection to Gordon's tribe - or I have a very naughty toddler - and I know which it is!!

I read somewhere that the local Tory colour in parts of the south west until the 1930s was red...
Are you sure the rosette didn't end up with a purple ukip style hue
Absolutely Comrade - when John Wyatt passed away, Eileen gave me his old leaflets from elections past. When John stood for Earlham in 1969 he did so as a Conservative with ORANGE as our colour!!
Perhaps it should have been coloured yellow/gold, to signify Libby Dem…
Can you ask her if she's been writing Gordon Brown's letters for him?
Red was the Party Colour in Liverpool and the North West until the early 1960s.
As for Orange it was certainly the party's unofficial Colour in Glasgow until the 1960s although we we dropped it, we started to lose seats.
The Tories in Norwich always used to have orange as their colour
