“…And I Promise Not To Set Fire To Anything”


I forgot to blog about this when it happened but things are “hotting up” (sorry) down my way in the Cathcart by-election, called of course because twisted firestarter Mike Watson resigned when he was done for willful fire-raising.

For anyone not familiar with the story, Lord Watson got a bit miffed after the Politician of the Year Awards a while back after an event organiser scolded him for being rude to staff while pished out of his tits. So he set fire to the hotel he was staying in. And then denied it for ages. And then admitted it when it emerged he’d been caught bang to rights on CCTV. Lord Watson ladies and gentlemen, give him a big hand!

Given that the Labour Party aren’t exactly popular right now what with the fuel prices, their daft crusade in Iraq and their general inability to do anything right, do you really think that Labour by-election candidate Charles Gordon needed to be launching his career off the back of Lord Backdraft?

Still he could always threaten to set fire to folk if they don’t vote for him I suppose.
