Creative editing of EU ministers meeting press conference

Did you see Comrade Brown on the news yesterday evening at the Press Conference in Downing Street?

How cringing was it when the French journo had the temerity to ask his President a question in French which “our beloved leader” (acknowledgements to Lord Gnome) was left with the cameras on him.

I don’t think I have seen anyone looking worse since John Redwood was not signing “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau” back in . All it need was a flat cap and a shout of “Mr Grimsdale!!!” and I swear it was Norman Wisdom up on stage.

Funnily enough this was not included in the 4 plus minutes of video released on the Downing Street web site last night.

One only hopes it will not appear on one of our European Partners web sites as that would make Brown look foolish and we can’t have that can we?

Politics gain is……..Tranmere’s gain

I am a football jinx!

If I see a game, even on TV the results do not favour my teams.This was a well know fact in London, where I was regularly stuck out on the pavement at The Earl of Chatham so I could not see the TV screen when the games were on. Not too bad in Summer for the Euro’s and World Cups  but a bit chilly on European qualifying nights in winter and spring!

The jinx has returned and I did not know till now…

My season ticket at Tranmere has not been used yet this year.

Out of the four home games this season my seat has been empty.

The Hereford game, I could not go to as we still had family up and it is not the done thing in our family to miss a family meal.

The next Friday game against Bristol I was working in Bristol (of all places) and did not get back to the Wirral until 9 pm.

I could not go to these games and did not go -  number of points available 6. Number scored 1.

Last Saturday saw me working with Esther McVey carrying out a street surgery in Pensby in the morning and working on the “F bus” campaign in the afternoon and I missed the Yeovil game.

Having over 1,500 hundred leaflets delivered today in the Pensby and Thingwall ward I did not get to the Gillingham game. 

I could have gone to these games and did not go -  number of points available 6. Number scored 6.

With eight remaining home games this season between now and the May elections, if I stay campaigning and stay away will that be 24 points for the “Superwhite Army!

With this in mind I think I may start going to Labour and Lib-Dem party function on a Saturday afternoon just to make sure; or failing that Everton!
