Helps wash your family whiter!

Welcome to my blog

45 Minutes To Save The World
"Don't Mention The WMD!"
Time was running out. Saddam's finger was on the button, Cheney's oil tank was running low and Tony hadn't had a decent drink of blood in months. Would the prophesies of Cherie's life-stylist come true? Was the PM about to relive the past glories of the Knights Templar? Would Alastair Campbell arrive in time to debug the room?

About me
I'm Luke Akehurst..... aka. "Luke The Nuke".Labour Party mouthpiece since 1988 - firmly on the ultra-right wing of the party, but with occasional, completely unexplained lapses of left-wing insanity.
National Secretary of The Barneys Club (Gentlemen's Fine Dining Society, University of Bristol), 1995-6.
Unsuccessful parliamentary candidate for Aldershot (2001) and even more spectacularly unsuccessful candidate for Castle Point (2005). Hackney Councillor (occasional visitor to the peasants in Chatham Ward) and Labour Chief Whip (in charge of the vegetables) since 2002.
Supporter of European holidays, NATO "shock and awe" big fireworks, Israel my Israel, electoral reform as long as The Great Leader keeps getting elected. Guardian reader because they are so desperate for material that they print my letters.
Dad to Jed Augustus George Akehurst (7th October 2005). Stoke Newington resident, recently moved from crappy flat in nice area opposite cemetery to slightly less crappy flat in a noisy shopping area. Amicus union member because they recruit people like me who never did a real day's work in their lives.
Employment history as a Labour Party Organiser for Dobbo the Mule and Glenda Slagg, Local Government Political Assistant to England's worst performing local authority, Public Affairs consultant to The Juggernaut (specialising in advising $multi-billion Iraq war contract beneficiaries, government service outsourcers and property developers).
I'm a pretty great guy as all who know me will confirm (except for those cretinous old Labourites, awful Tories, useless LibDems, bourgeois Greens and everyone else except for Tony's New Labour Army!).
I like influencing outcomes by spreading the good word and smearing those who stand in the way. I'm especially fond of privatising useless old-fashioned industries held back by cloth-capped trade union stooges, liberating public services to the forces of the market and helping US arms manufacturers to look good while making massive profits in Iraq.
I've been trying to get into Parliament for a while without success, but things should improve now I've cut my links to Dobbo and Glenda and been noticed by Tony as one of the smart new "Millbank" set (shame we've become so poor we've had to move out of Millbank!).
I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to afford to move out of ghastly Hackney with its chavs, whingers and loonie lefties and live somewhere decent.
What else can I say about me? I'm a great guy! Did I already mention that? The rest will become evident from reading my blog.

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.
where can I obtain a copy for my front window? Love it!
Just out of interest, where does the idea that I'm "upper class" come from? Doesn't really fit with my estuarian vowel pronounciaton.
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".
Actually I prefer Veuve Cliquot to Bolly (and Saint Emillion Grand Cru to either).

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.
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".
My dearest Luke,
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?
Yours submissively,
