Where’s She Gone
Has anybody seen lately our soon to be departed provest and community fashion queen Lesley Prada Hinds. It seems she is no-where to be seen,well certainly not down sunny Muirhouse way. We heard a rumour she was last seen in Harvey Nicolls browsing through the exotic lingerie section.
We all miss the happy smiling Auntie Lesley as she meandered her way through the winding pot-holed streets of Muirhouse taking her best pal Betty Stevenson for a walk. So where’s she gone. Off to pastures new perhaps and use her charms on a new set of unsuspecting voters. We think she was ill advised to slope off and try for the Nolan East and Mussleburgh seat,but we are mere observers in this merry go round of selections behind closed doors.
So wherever our Lesley surfaces next it won’t be sunny Muirhouse where her colegate ring of confidence smile lit up the area and her prada high heeled shoes would let you know she was coming and give you time to make your escape. Overall it has to be said that our Lesley wore the chain with some style,certainly far more style than the self styled guru of publicity Eric i’m wonderful Milligan.
Some say she even took the time to talk to the people she represented,now there’s a first,even if she like her bestest pal the ruthless empress Mcginnis surrounded herself with her own disciples who would gasp at her every word. We wonder if she regrets trying to make the great escape from Stalag Muirhouse as it was nicknamed  by some of her Labour comrades. Who knowes,and we can’t find anybody who actually cares,except Betty of course who is having withdrawal symptoms,and on the lookout for a new pal,best of luck Betty you will need it.
We will follow auntie Lesleys political journey as best we can. But after May we will no longer have the immense pleasure she has given us all and in particular the thrift shop in Ferry Road Drive who have benifited from Lesleys cast off designer gear. We may be a very deprived community but some of us are the best dressed thanks to Lesley.
So bon voyage and thanks for the memories. You where to Muirhouse what Norman Tebbit was to spitting image.
