LBN – On reflection, I can see your point. Linking a useful and (in my opinion tasty) item to our resident Stalinist, is a little disrespectful to the spud.
That said, and with respect, I can’t see “oli follower” tripping off the tongue very easily. I had used the term “tosspot” which was frowned on by our sage and patient moderator. However I do think this is a good term. It does not, as some think, have an obscene derivation. Although some have stated that it derived from tossing the pot down the throat (drinking heavily or befuddled) others have said it derives from the lowliest of servants to the great lord, who had the lowest job in the household, tossing (turning over) the porridge in the kitchen.
As TW really is the humble servant and master to the mighty lord (Putin) I think he does fit the epithet tosspot
