Mac Jobs: Chimps With That John?


Recess Monkey has picked up some rather strange empathy with low paid immigrant workers with MPs from the two main parties vying with each other with their inverted snobbery of the worst-job-you-ever-had sort.

Tory Greg Hands opened with West Berlin McDonalds followed by Cambridge and the City. Labour's Liam Byrne also fessed to some flipping in his pre-Andersons Consulting days.

But as they say all day in Manchester wards unfortunate enough to have Lib Dem representatives "Where are the Libs when there's hard work to get done?". That Hospital Hoaxer Cllr John Leech MP had looked absolutely shattered and dropping off as Mark Hunter asked his pointless PMQ. But then he probably went for a lie down.

Leech was a flipper himself after attending Brunel for some Politics and History lectures - did he actually get a degree? Anyway, the chump who also regularly fibs about police, post offices, cemetaries, rats in bins and so on, suppressed this info from his biog, leaving citizens who had seen him in action (his inaction?) to point this out.

Now Leechy can be loud and proud about it! Well done Recess Monkey! Obviously though he is still not going to be loud and proud about distributing cancer hoax leaflets to patients in chemo and radio-therapy waiting areas.

UPDATE: Cllr John Leech missed the "McDonalds debate" (4pm) in Westminster Hall by seconds having made an intensely boring and unhelpful speech in the previous debate, in tired tandem with his Hon Friend Mr Mark Hunter.

Nice one Chris, like the 'Hospital Hoaxer' line. Wasn't our slack suited MP a 'call centre manager' after his time at McD? He was clearly good at burger flippin 'cos they gave him sponsors tickets to the World Cup. Now he's got a two very good part time jobs - about 93k a year and a lovely pet chimp. I'm not bitter but my weekly wage just about pays for a Lib-Dem Hocus Focus leaflet for one ward. Something wrong here, oh I caught the integrity bug.

Integrity? Our, sorry your MP John Leech? Don't make me laugh. But leave off the crumpled suit gags, it's a good look for a blogger, perhaps not for an elected representative for a smart constituency like Manchester Withington.

The man looked out on his feet at PMQs, like he has been personally printing all those Hocus Focus leaflets on his own John "Bull" printing set.

There's nothing wrong with burger flipping any more than call centre working mind ... it's the covering up of these things, and his sharp exit from Manchester Grammar that made his early CV attempts so disingenuous.

Nice one working in the Soccer Tickets Farrago ...

Well? Did he get a degree or not?

Well? Why was he chucked out of MGS?

Well? Did he get chucked out by McDonalds too?

Well? Does he have anything like enough experience of work or competence to be an MP?

Well? How about being a Councillor too? And taking other Councillors away from their wards too.

Off Topic Lorenzo: Have you green grocers got any going to seed potatoes ... missed them in the shops ... a nice waxy variety natch. for nupes and salads ...

The ones in Unicorn are edible but will make sprouts in a paper bag in your cupboard in two weeks. Happened to me. These are last few weeks of the old crop. You running about three weeks late on this one, though as an allotment grower - just chuck em in they will grow.

Chris Paul said...

Cheers, I'll try and find a rubbish greengrocer where they're already sprouting. All year round tatties these days isn't it?

Liam actually went to Manchester and Harvard, not some Oxbridge college, not Brunel.
