Fiona Jones RIP: Strange Comments on Janestheones Blog

It is clear that my loyal readers are gagging for more on the Manchester Withington selection. But I must admit that the story of Fiona Jones blogged on Sunday, and reading round it, has taken up the last 60 minutes of my life. With this tribute blog from Jane Griffiths, and the always positive about FJ but often scurrilous comments about others, dominating.

The last comment at the time I was there was No 36 or thereabouts from The Withington Observer and clearly this character, whose promised debut on the blogging scene I blogged almost two months ago but which is yet to arrive, has referred to Leech in bitter terms, and to the current selection proceedings in Withington with some concern.

So does anyone else, apart from this lightweight The Withington Observer, get the sense of someone being parachuted in around here? Is anyone with No 10 connections making 'phone calls? Would we put up with that? Or would we send them homewards, to think again?

COMMENT: It is very hard to imagine the Demon Headmaster of The Commons pouncing on tired and emotional, and married to boot, new women MPs. The News of the World must now put up or shut up. The swine!
