I must make it clear that the sentiments shown on the poster depicted in this posting are, of course, those of the demonstrators and not of me or my blogsite. I think it's perfectly reasonable that fellow councillors keep quiet about unpleasant issues in their personal lives. We are here to serve the public, not to lay bare our souls.
I think these people call you "upper class" as a term of ironic despisement - as with Prescott playing croquet and Blair swanning around with Gulam Noon, and Chai Patel. They may be making reference to your membership of the Barneys Club and your Bolly-swilling afternoons at Summer Ball.
Perhaps a similar but reverse ironic comment could be applied to Margaret Becket, who may possibly be referred to as a "caravan chav".
Just out of interest, where does the idea that I'm "upper class" come from? . . . Actually I prefer Veuve Cliquot to Bolly (and Saint Emillion Grand Cru to either).
To "anonymous", re. your recent unpublished comment postings.
Let me make absolutely clear to you that I have no intention of allowing you to put gratuitous, unpleasant homophobic comments about councillors on my website and hence I have used my moderator facilities and rejected your posts.
Are you sure it was Darren Parker you saw in Hackney Central M&S? And no, that is not his picture on the article "Poverty in Hackney".
What a coincidence that you should mention Hackney Central M&S. Last weekend I discovered that branch hold in stock a lovely line in brown hankerchiefs - perfect when one wishes to accessorise one's "blue jeans and boots" outfit. Tut tut, I really shouldn't publicly bear my sole on the budget fashionista like this, should I?

Eh?
Yes - the spoofster fooled me with this one as well. Obviously spent too much student time "chasing totty" and not enough time at Wine Club meetings.
