Luke Akehurst's Blog |  | Hug my tree and I can be anyone you want me to be |
 Fighting threats from Stalinists and Fascists to use court injunctions and physical violence to silence free speech |  The Luke Akehurst blog - The genuine Luke Akehurst weblog about politics, elections, the Labour Party and that ghastly Hackney place. Ignore counterfeit Luke Akehurst blogs - this is the genuine article from the chap who whips Hackney Labour councillors in his spare time. Now with extra added ingredient Linda K Smith. Helps wash your family whiter! "My favourite film is Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" - Luke Akehurst "Funny and clever but not particularly nice" - Time Out "With added foie gras, steak, soft cheese, claret and port (hic!)" - Luke Akehurst "In gustatus perquam putidus est" - Vatican Bank "Not so much 'Who's Who?' as 'Who's Sleeping With Whom?'" - Peter Mandelson "You can judge a blogger's politics by the colour of their blog banner" - The spoof Luke Akehurst "By a coalition of Trots, tree huggers, anarchists, Tories and a nasty little clique over-excited about my hair colour" - Luke Akehurst | |
Amongst the nonsense awards - the English centagenarian school dinner ladies, the Irish X-factor rejects, the Scottish serial paedophiles - one gem shines out. The man whose dossier supported The Great Leader and our glorious Party when the Tory/Trotskist rabble was baying for blood. It makes me feel proud to be an Englishman.
I'm Luke Akehurst..... aka. "Luke The Nuke".

My dearest Luke,
It's not for me to interfere in your domestic life but you might feel inclined, at some point, to mention to your partner just what she missed out on by failing to support the Dalston development when we put her on the planning sub-committee. Not only has she forgone any chance of obtaining a Spanish holiday home, in return for nodding through the Dalston Theatre demolishment and Pipe Towers development; she has no chance getting any of the gongs they are giving out to boot. Check out who got an OBE in this year's honours list!
Ms Sue Foster. Assistant director, Regeneration and Planning, London borough of Hackney. For services to planning. (London, E8)

Naturally, Julian and Penny are a bit miffed and so, I hear, the next issue of Hackney Toady will devote only two pages to Ms Foster's achievements. Trouble is ... apart from slavishly nodding through the developers' plans, annoying the tree-huggers (and divesting us of a potential historical liability) we haven't the foggiest what to write about her. Any ideas?
Yours affectionately,

Blimey - I thought for a minute there you were crediting Linda with some contribution to the you-know-what. I'm afraid that the closest Linda came to sexing up a dossier was handling Dobbo's testimonials and as far as I recall it didn't even make him smile.
So, I was proved right and there was no chance of Julian or Penny receiving gongs. I'm afraid they've both appeared in one too many blog postings for herself to consider an honour within the bounds of decency.
I guess Sue is a surrogate recipient. As you know already, she has a near-zero web footprint, which makes her the perfect representative of New Labour government. After all... arise Sir John Prescott. Somehow you just can't imagine it, can you?
