End of week review: we don’t want a jock running our Country

IN WORDS I shall never forget, my week saw Paul Clark being shouted at by a passer-by, with a memorable quotation below, and a surprising result for Gillingham Football Club.

This week also saw a university freshers’ fair and a meeting to discuss our strategy for Twydall. And the Conference season has gotten underway in full swing.

Activities

I started this week with no plans for campaign activities (having too much school work to take care of), however that all changed.

On Wednesday I helped out with a stall at a university fresher’s fair and thought that would be it.

However, yesterday morning, whilst I was staying round a friend’s house, I received a phone call from Reh, telling me that he had set up a street stall in Gillingham High Street – and Paul Clark was right opposite him.

Bearing in mind my mate had gone to work (at Priestfield) already, I decided to help out en route to work (at Priestfield). When I got there, I found out that Clark had called in the cavalry to do Gordon Brown’s dirty work: his wife, children and even his mother were amongst the activists getting people to take part in the marginal constituency survey, which is one of the things Gordon Brown has been using this weekend to decided whether or not to go to the polls.

One passer-by even shouted at Mr Clark, although I couldn’t tell if Mr Clark had heard him say:

Oit d*****d! It’s the next MP here. It f*****g won’t be you! What do you do? Suck up to Gordon Brown! We don’t want a f*****g jock running our Country!

That was, of course, the day after a meeting with Diana Lawrence, Brigita and John Amey and Reh Chishti to discuss our Twydall strategy. Looks like I may be more involved in that now.

Nothing to report from here this week. Still awaiting an article from a guest blogger and am about to start an exciting new feature of the site.

News

Conference season has got into gear, and while Labour’s conference was all about Gordon, the Conservatives started theirs today with a clear message: “it’s time for change“. And Gillingham drew (beware the article’s content – it fails to mention how highly intoxicated and very angry the Leeds fans were at the end of the match).
