Street Politics

My spoofsters rarely bother to mention the hard work I do week in week out resolving the issues that really matter to my constituents. According to this Trotskyist/Conservative subversive alliance, all I ever do is debate the Labour Party national leadership issue, Lebanon, Sweden, Venezuela, taxation, Ruth Kelly, LibDems, Trotskyism, David Cameron, nuclear weapons, conspiracy theories, Diane Abbott and the House of Lords. This is, of course, complete rubbish.

I venture out with Julian to tax the peasantryI must admit, however, that I don't actually like to walk about in the streets and risk being touched by some of the more unpleasant and unhygienic peasantry. Regular readers will know how fond I am of Monty Python. In the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one peasant says to another, "Look, it's the king!" His companion asks, "How do you know it's the king?", to which he replies: "Because he hasn't got shit all over him." I'm afraid that it's a bit like that on the rare occasions when I venture out onto the streets of Hackney. "Look, it's the Councillor!".

The reality is that I do an awful lot of work for ordinary local residents over the telephone and internet. The photos below show some of the improvements that have taken place in Hackney due to my intervention. Better signing, making constructive use of grassy areas, improved rubbish disposal, demolition of tatty old buildings and erection of permanent monuments to Hackney's great leader Julian.
