1. One question from someone who is not British and is definitely missing the context:

What do I think of the Tories? They're Tories! I could never imagine voting for one.

Maybe it's because I'm American, where the term "Tory" is a black mark dating back to 1776. But nowadays I feel the same way about Republicans, which I didn't 50 years ago, whereas I would have about Tories if I'd been paying any attention to British politics in those days.
