Guido gently hinted last Friday that all was not right in the mind of Adrian Hilton, Tory PPC for Slough. In a gently worded piece I said that he was bonkers. Hilton opposed “the subjugation of Britain’s Protestant ethos to Roman Catholic social, political and religious teaching”. I warned that “Hilton forgets England was Catholic before and it will be Catholic again – or my name is not Guido Fawkes!”

So it has come to pass that Howard has sacked him as payback to Cardinal Cormac and the plot continues. Slough Tories should try selecting candidates carefully after the last two – Hilton’s predecessor was a gun nut, sacked after being pictured in the Sun posing as Rambo.
