Michael Portillo's clothes...

[Lord Alfred]

Bit of a dandy like......watching him on the excellent Great Continental Railway Journeys and he's been like a f***ing peacock......pink trousers matched with a royal blue blazer......bright red blazer, tangerine trousers, yellow shirt....every colour under the rainbow.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Love his programme but he's 'quirky' to say the least

Comes across as very intelligent bloke when speaking on 'This week'

Both him and Alan Johnson make the programme very watchable

There were rumours....

 

[Big Duke Six]

Chutney ferret, he allowed to wear flamboyant shite.

 

[redandwhiterob]

There were rumours....

Wasn't just rumours was it? Didn't he admit to gay experiences in his younger days?

Full blown receiver marra.

"See that rug? I had Portillo on that rug". Strangest thing a Cambridge academic ever said to a friend of mine...

 

[The Exile]

Gets them from Gay Greenwoods.

Fair play to the lad like. Wear what suits, and what you like, and balls to everyone else.

He's actually a very good presenter of that programme and has made the transition from politician seamlessly.

 

[ShoutyBearHead]

I reckon he's colour-blind and the wardrobe people are taking the piss out of him

Canny presenter though - I was very surprised to find him a likeable character

 

[Narraback]

A very likeable Tory. A rare thing indeed.

Come on . . . who hasn't?!

 

[riffraff]

In 1998 during the french WC a lad at work married to someone who was then high up in Essex county education stuff told me about him and a cabinet minister of the timesish. Nivver know what to believe on a building site though

 

[Kid Galahad]

A very likeable Tory. A rare thing indeed.

This, I don't mind him at all, which is weird....

 

[riffraff]

He was as horrible a bastard as they had when in power. Hes done a crackin job reinventing himself since coming out of the closet. Is the horrible bastard still in there?...........of course it is.

 

[Wise Man Says]

I once sat opposite him on a train to Newcastle. He got off at Darlington, he was going to Harrogate to give some speech.

Nice bloke, willing to chat. He was sat in standard class and a bloke said to him "I thought you'd be in first class." He said "standard is just as good, I'm fine sitting here."

Came across as a decent guy.

 

[yorkyexile]

Made Abbott look the insufferable excrement stain she really is on many occasions.I know thats not a hard thing to achieve like but there you go

 

[Arkle]

Offered to help a mate of mine when he fell in the river Cam.
