Crewe and Nantwich: Who’s the Real Toff?
Every intelligent person on the left knows that Labour’s shooting itself in the foot in Crewe. They’ve turned a safe seat into a real contest. Criticism is even coming from the Guardian and Labourhome.
As someone else put it in The Times:
The Labour candidate is in Burke’s Peerage, her grandma was a Lady-in-waiting & she inherited the candidacy from her mum.
The Tory is from a family of cobblers & key cutters who fostered 80 deprived kids, inspiring him to take up family law.
And Labour say “Don’t vote for the posh toff”
Labour, after all, are hitting the poor with a stupid tax rise, and have decided that rather than fight on issues they’d prefer to prance around Crewe in top hats and tails. Rather more concerning to a class warrior though would be that they are actually wearing those clothes quite convincingly. Well, the chap on the right is. Someone needs to tell the fellow on the left of this photo that he needs to do his top button up though. Maybe Quentin Davies, that Clubland stalwart and multimillionaire ex-Tory turned Labour Class Warrior advised them?
I say old bean, let's go and patronise the workers
The contest is between a granddaughter of a Peer and a Labour Party General-secretary who is now riding on the coat-tails of her late mother’s political career, against the son of businesspeople known for their excellent treatment of employees and philanthropic activities, who pursued a career in family law to help the underprivileged. He is a classic example of a One Nation Conservative, and has been by far the more progressive candidate, especially against Labour’s patronising and vicious little dog-whistle campaign about immigration. Timpson is the true progressive in this election.
So I agree with Labour: don’t vote for the toff. What Labour fail to realise is that Moyra Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey and her Labour chums are the real toffs in this election.
UPDATE: It turns out that the chap on the left (Alex Norris) actually went to public school. My comments about his top button are scaring me now, as the school he went to (Manchester Grammar) used to be headed by a Dr. Martin Stephen. Dr. Stephen is now High Master of St. Paul’s School, where he caused controversy by cracking down on pupils who failed to do up their top button. Mr. Norris Esq. has no excuse for his sartorial misdemeanours now.

I want to personally thank every left-wing activist who helped Boris into office this morning.
First, I’d like to thank the tireless smear campaigners in Compass and elsewhere for their continued misrepresentations of BoJo. You set expectations so low among some that all Boris had to do was turn up somewhere and smile and immediately his impression among voters would improve. You made him out to be so stupid that when he actually said something intelligent, the contrast was such that it made him appear doubly clever. The contrast between expectation and reality was so great that it probably generated more votes than it lost. Thank you for the inadvertent boost to his image that you gave him.
Thanks for lying so hard. It backfired marvellously when exposed.
Big thanks to every activist who tried to make this a negative campaign. It allowed us to dominate the positive agenda, resulting in the Tories being the only party with a clear and achievable set of policies and the demonstration that Labour is a spent force. We came up with so many policies that both Ken and Brian felt obliged to steal some of them. I would like to congratulate every negative campaigner who got out the Tory vote and turned people off Labour with misrepresentations. They galvanised all those who discovered the extent of the deceit involved, and ensured they endured the elements to get out and vote. Well done.
Thank you for making Boris out to be a clown. Your refusal to take him seriously meant that we had an easier time promoting our agenda. Promoting him as a bumbling charming fool one minute neutralised your claims to his being a demonic Machiavellian schemer the next.
And really big thanks to all those with the eminently mature “fuck Boris” facebook photos. When viewed in the facebook mini-format they were virtually indistinguishable from the “back Boris” photos. This helped us appear to have even more support on facebook.
Finally, thank you to all who promised to leave London if he won, as well as all the other apocalyptic rhetoric. Crying “racist” soon turned to crying wolf (especially when there’s now a real racist in the London Assembly). By decrying Boris as Satan incarnate you made sure that many voters didn’t take you seriously. Thank you for doing the job for us.
So thank you anti-Boris activists everywhere. We couldn’t have done it without your help.
