From outside the Tory spring conference in Newcastle Gateshead ...
A woman in Wellingtons and a Parka braves the drizzle to enthusiastically hand out leaflets on the elephant cull in South Africa.
She approaches a stout man in a dark overcoat and asks if she could give him a leaflet.
"No," he barks at her.
"Oh, why not?" she asks, slightly affronted.
"Because I'm rude," he replied. "I'm a Tory and I don't care about elephants - I care about my mum."
