And I see he's only had the job since 1990. Bloody "Thatcher's children".

This was Merseyside. They had to dredge up a 77-year-old in order that the Labour Candidate could be said to have had actual Work Experience.

In some northern constituencies, they would vote in a Chimpanzee if it sported a red rosette. I believe there is a wealth of evidence to support this contention.

1545: The Labour candidate for Bootle on Merseyside has had the tip of his finger bitten off by a dog while out campaigning. Joe Benton, 77, was taken to hospital after the animal bit him as he pushed an election leaflet through a letter box. Mr Benton has been unable to vote for himself as a result and will not be able to attend tonight's count.

Don't they ever learn? Exactly the same thing happened a few years ago.

As the saying goes, people who know a bit of history are doomed to watch Labour politicians repeating it.
