RE: 9 Hartlepool Councilors defect to Brexit Party.15 Sep 2019 12:35
Bruce, BB - I've posted this before but it's always worth a rerun.
A few years ago when Peter (Mandy) Mandelson was still earning a crust as Member for Hartlepool instead of Lording it elsewhere, he made the trip up to his constituency on the eve of a GE, safe in the knowledge that he would be returned with the usual large Labour majority. However he dutifully did the tour and gladhanded the stooges offered up to him and seized the opportunity of a 'man of the people' photo-shoot when handed a newspaper wrapped fish, chips and mushy peas. Amazed to see the green gloop in this outpost of near civilisation he reportedly explained 'ahhh, guacamole!'
