Political genius at work in Derby

By Mark Pack | Wed 6th April 2011 - 8:55 am

Ringing up a radio phone-in and giving a fake name may not be a smart move.

Doing so if you are a candidate in the forthcoming local elections is even less smart.

Doing so from a phone number recognisable as yourself is most certainly not smart.

Sticking to your fake name on the radio and then denying it was you even when rung back subsequently three times by the radio station, well that’s just being in a hole and digging.

But doing all of that when the radio phone-in was about honesty in politics?

That’s genius.

Well done Ashley Waterhouse (Conservative candidate, Normanton ward).
