Private Eye Rotten Boroughs Awards 2013
If you get the chance can I suggest you have a look at this? Parts of it are hilarious - and you really couldn't make some of it up, other bits make you want to smack someone right in their smug faces. My favourite for a real belter - "Two Fingers to the Poor Award""Joint Winners - Millionaire Westminster Tory councillor Jonathan Glanz, who compared social housing tenants' lifestyles to those of "trustafarian" characters in Made in Chelsea, and his millionaire colleague Robert Davis, who said more affordable housing was essential for people with 'a basic simple job' on '£50,000 to £80,000 a year'".Hounslow also gets a mention in Quotes of the year; "No more appearances in Private Eye's Rotten Boroughs column" - Peter Thompson, Hounslow council's Tory group leader, offers advice to his Labour opponents on how to improve the council's image." Also read the appalling tale of people in the carer sector "In the Back" page 29, I can only hope that stupid, vacuous idiot Nadine Dorries reads it - in fact I'd like to stuff it up her nose after her comments on last night's Question Time - "Any job will do" - the woman is an complete nitwit, and that's being very polite!
