One thing you can say about these by-elections, they’re not dull.

Well at least he didn’t have his chainsaw with him this time.
Have you lot noticed this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/13/nealing113.xml
“Privately, though, Labour sources confessed last night that they are worried by a quietly-efficient Lib Dem campaign – especially in the eastern, Ealing end of the seat.”
I note that http://www.anticrimeparty.com/ begins,
“IMPORTANT UPDATE, 6th JULY 2007:
Norman Scarth is standing as the Ant-Crime Party candidate at the Sedgefield By-election on 19th July 2207.”
Tough on ant crime, tough on the causes of ant crime – enough of these gangs of delinquent insects stealing our strawberry jam, I tell you. And thank heavens Labour decided to call the election for 200 years time – an unusually long campaign – so that Norman has time to persude all the local voters of the menace these six-legged fiends pose.
His proposals to build a giant kettle of boiling water to pour over Sedgefield at regular intervals may prove problematic, I fear.
… giant magnifying glass … etc.
