Just got "doorstepped" by a canvasser for the "Respect" party. Gorgeous George has come to Limehouse and Poplar. Obviously, the likes of me don't warrant a personal appearance, so he sent a halfwit instead. "Can we count on your support in the forthcoming election?" Which earned him ten minutes of why he couldn't. Apparently, he likes to do things "differently". That got him another five minutes. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CB1300SA-9/CBX1000Z _\_____/_| .106850../..08850.../..32457.

His man is a self-serving, egocentric, media whore with no concern for his constituents other than as a means to further inflate his own ego. He seldom, if ever, attends Parliament, and his voting record is abysmal. I mentioned that I'd like my MP to take his politics seriously, and not to spend all his free time thinking up something "controversial" to say, just for the sake of it. I further suggested that courting the Muslim vote in Tower Hamlets was little more than exploitation, and when questioned why he wasn't defending his original constituency, I was offered no explanation.
The local LibDem candidate is a chap named Manjit Singh. He has been out canvassing door to door. Nice fellow, not smug or full of shit. When a Labour party minion smugly assumed I'd vote for them, I informed him that I'd be voting for Manjit. I won't, because I don't vote. He didn't know that. After a little sputtering and spluttering from said minion, he asked why. I informed him that you can trust a Sikh, and I trusted the Labour party about as far as I could spit my van. By the time I'd done grilling him about Labour party shareholders and why they traded as Alisdair Darling MP and some other minor stuff regarding why Police forces and court systems are registered businesses etc, he fair ran away from me. Didn't seem to want to answer my questions There is some fun stuff here for winding them up with. http://www.tpuc.co.uk/
I saw George driving up the A40 through Marylebone on Friday. He was in a green Mercedes M-Class 4wd which had loads of posters of his ugly mug pasted to it. Fucking knob-jockey.
Well... I think he's lost it recently (sadly) but I'd rather have conviction politicians with ego-driven-flaws than lobby fodder. At least he's believed in things and done stuff rather than following the party line trying to get a cabinet position.
Heh, no delusions shattered. IIRC, Garnet used to slag off the Jews who supported Spurs, quite often.
Cab posted: ISTR a short-lived series in which Mitchell played a Jewish factory manager (somewhat less than orthodox, however, and who was partial to a nice bacon butty) relocated to Belfast. I'm pretty sure the first episode included the line "so are you a Protestant Jew, or a Catholic Jew?", or similar...
