Green Day: Blues for Yellow Fib Dem MP in Polls

Sadly our friend still Councillor John Leech still MP (just about) has not made the top twenty in this poll. Strange really as not so long ago he was being feted as best campaigner by lobby journalists in The House Magazine, even though his campaign was based largely on fibs. And believing his expenses return too was quite a stretch.

Just now I can't find the exact quote from Mr Leech's press release but I recall that though he is quite an afficianado of the old amateur dramatics it was something about not being a luvvie, but how it was not the winning but the taking part. And all that old luvvie tosh.

Clearly not winning AND not taking part was not on the radar at the time. But watch this space for more slumping in fortunes. Incidentally the picture, which has gone down well just about everywhere it has been seen is not of:

(a) Leech chewing a wasp
(b) Leech finding out about the Dale awards
(c) Leech on returning from Dr Who time travel to 2009 count
(d) Leech having ate humble pies for his Christie hoax
or
(e) Leech on returning from Dr Who time travel after the autumn 2007 count dreamt up by an old gentleman

It is in fact of his red letter day when he was presented with hundreds of postcards slagging him off for his horrendous Christie hoax in which hospital closure scare stories were handed to chemotherapy patients at the thriving hospital.

"Dr Who?" was also the question on shocked residents' lips as a Freedom of Information enquiry revealled that no letters or petitions featuring the signatures of 60 doctors protesting at a supposed "closure" had been received. But this mythical document was the thing that Leech based his campaign on.

And now when he is challenged to apologise he always asks: "Are you saying 60 doctors are liars?" I can set his mind at rest:
No John, No John, No John, No - we're not saying that.
