"As a proud member of UKIP and a leading member on the Ribble Neighbourhood Watch committee, I often struggle to find clothing that's both practical and is passive aggressive to people with a different cultural heritage. My usual collection of tweed jackets with a handkerchief in the breast pocket may well be fashionable, but it doesn't quite tell foreigners to f**k off as much as I wish it would"

How have you not exploded with schadenfreude-induced joy?

Hope this doesn't offend anyone...


When my sister first heard about the poppies at the Tower of London, she misheard and thought they said puppies. We both agreed this is an idea the Tower might like to explore once the exhibition has been taken down.

I don't deny Tesco's service is rather excellent (especially if you have a problem with their online service), I've always found John Lewis's service to be wonderful, also. Even to the point I would actually pay more for stuff (especially white-goods) bought online, as I know it will arrive on time, as ordered and be expertly installed. But I generally don't have to pay more as they usually price match.

I don't use Tesco enough to be able to judge; I just thought it was good they were doing it in an open and straightforward way, including putting the notices just before the till so that you actually focus on the service they give you rather than a general impression of the store.


JL's processes are great, especially refunds, but service on the shop floor can be a bit hit and miss - my experience anyway. I've been to the Oxford St one several times recently and I'm fed up of shop assistants bitching about their colleagues. Also had this in Palmers in Brixton, where I needed some help and caught the eye of an assistant who was mid-character assassination, and she turned her back on me and carried on. Interestingly, all the above were in haberdashery departments - must be something about soft furnishings.

    • I wonder whether his political epiphany and renaissance will stretch to him using his real name - James Ashworth-McLintock - rather than the more proletarian 'McAsh'. To my mind, the only people who should have self-bestowed mononyms are very talented Brazilian footballers - Pele, Kaka, Ronaldinho - very talented female pop icons - Madonna, Shakira, Sonia - or Russian revolutionaries - Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. Sonia's greatest hits compilation, 'Greatest Hits', is out now on vinyl & CD through PWL Recordings.
    • Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.
    • made the mistake of going to megans twice in DV.. would never make that mistake a 3rd time. Ditto I liked Romeo Jones a lot they did lovely soups and sandwiches and coffee too and such loveley staff.
    • Aren't most marxists radical by default...and he was a self proclaimed marxist on his twitter feed for years but deleted it as I suspect it did not sit well at Labour HQ. The big worry for Labour might be that he takes votes away from them (but not enough for him to win a seat) especially as there may be a significant protest vote against them at the national level as they are making such a pig's ear of things. I suspect though Labour are glad to see the back of him - to say he was a thorn in their side is an understatement and his loss of the leadership of the council was clearly part of the purge Labour has been embarking on to rid itself of some of the far-left lunatic fringe that have blighted them for so long. The Greens of course are willingly take any disaffected far-left Labour rejects in the same way Reform are hovvering up the lunatic elements of the Tories. The fact he went in with both barrels on Labour is hardly surprisingly but wonderfully hypocritical of someone who thought they were about to lead a Labour council. My how politicians flip-flop to suit their own personal agenda. How long before he falls out with the Greens...where to then? Why do I think he had an affiliation with the Greens before he became a Labour councillor? Or did I imagine that?
