I do hope that if Ed Timpson wins this thing, he makes use of his speech to lay into the Labour campaign. Not in a way that would make him appear a bad winner, but a "the people of C&N have taken to the Conservative's positive campaign, in stark contrast to the old-fashioned, nasty and under-hand tactics of some of my opponents" sort of way.

"That number was the Conservative's campaign office in Nantwich, used for people wanting lifts to the polling booths." Mwahhahahah

Now I wonder which genius dreamt this little spoof up? Or would it have needed a plitical meetin, with minits an’ stuff?

Not strictly hoax, - more subdued, silent, sullen, suppressed perhaps? But, assuming a Tory success, how will Al-ja-Beeba report events in C&N whilst keeping true to their remit of pandering to Noo-Lie-Bore?

Whatever, it must add fuel to the smouldering fire of demands for a thorough inquiry into the BBC and its future.

Perry, I'm going for 'Labour suffers by-election shock'.

Keep going, Perry. It's lovely stuff!

I trust you'll be enjoying a large glass of bubbly when the C&N result comes in.
