What? Jesus, pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it, tomorrow's story guaranteed..
What's saddest is that Thornbury was excellent in her brief and regularly roasted the Tories - all the more reason to stoke up the witch hunt I guess.
Me? I'd have said three St George flags is a bit OTT. Because it is. In my ward and other wards I've campaigned in, the only houses flying that flag outside of the World Cup are those of BNP voters. Full stop. Now if anyone wants to tell me that my experience is somehow Islington middle class intelligensia, they can argue it out with me, as I live in the north west, in an area where the BNP atrracted votes, and there was
always a pretty direct relationship between flag flying and fascism. And if people don't like that, then they should come and live round here and learn for themselves.
I'm not a London based political wonk, I am a reasonably normal (although probably abnormally left wing) bloke who does the sort of door knocking and chatting to people that all the wankers on Twitter moaning about Thornbury, and all the UKIP wankers on the Groan and all the meeja - public school, middle class, faux intellectual - wankers blowing this up as a big deal would never dream of doing as it would involve them meeting people outside their pathetic and social meeja bubbles in which they dwell, feeding off each other and telling each other just how 'real' they are in comparison to Thornbury.
At least Emily Thornbury
was there, puting in shifts, as opposed to eating Pot Noodles and posting shite to other Pot Noodle shite posting non entities.
