Panic Stations
Friends and readers. The Glasgow East by election is almost upon us and Labour have brought out their big guns to try and wear the voters down and con them into voting for them.
We are told they will be stuffing envelops and delivering leaflets in the run up to the vote,and of course will use every opportunity to press the flesh of the harassed voter.
Imagine if you will our hapless and inept defence secretary Des desperate Browne approaching you in a military style advance hand out stretched with a forced grimace of sincerity on his face,promising you won’t be drafted into the forces to protect Americas oil interests.
Or Harriet designer Harman wearing the latest cat walk fashions tottering on high heels as she walks down the pot holed pavements of Shetleston,grumbling beneath her breath about having to mix with the plebs.
All this and more is available in Glasgow East and for the next week or so the will be the political centre of the world. Now MSP and wannabee MP Margaret Curran is threatening to inflict Alistair well groomed Darling,once the firebrand of the left,now locked in financial melt down, on the voters of Glasgow East. It doesnt bear thinking about.
We wish the voters of Glasgow East all the best in their attempts to avoid this den of thieves as they attempt to con their way to victory. It may not be possible to avoid someone trying to shake your baby and kiss your hand,but if you can that will be a moral victory of sorts.
As one punter put it, I’m afraid to go to the toilet in case one of these blood suckers is in there waiting for me. Ah well happy days.
