Barry and the bacon bap

And now — the rather wonderful story of the bacon bap which bit Barry Sheerman. The veteran Labour MP bought one at London Victoria station and he did not like it, he was sorely vexed. Using that conduit for the self-obsessed and insane, Twitter, he pronounced it the worst he had ever eaten. And he added: ‘Why can’t Camden Food Co employ English staff?’

Well, Barry mate, I wonder. Perhaps it is because during the time your party was in office the country welcomed more than three million immigrants, a lot of them from eastern Europe, who were prepared to work for much less money than the indigenous English workers. That’s pretty much the sole reason why Camden Food Co ‘can’t’ employ English workers.

Barry later denied he was a xenophobe, but added that he is the MP for ‘Huddersfield not Gdansk’. Perhaps, but your party did rather more for the people of Gdansk than it did for the people of Huddersfield. If only we could have force-fed the New Labour government badly made bacon baps back in 1997, there might still be the chance of an English person getting a job somewhere in the country.
