The new London Mayoral Candidates Booklet is full of hidden messages. Here’s the third in the series.
Lindsey German: Vote for me and I’ll overrule Parliament by bringing our boys back from Iraq and Afghanistan. The bourgeois capitalists in their plush palace at Westminster will of course tell me to f*ck off, but that won’t stop me. Why should I have to settle for the limited powers of the London Mayoralty when revolution is just round the corner? I’ll gather whatever comrades haven’t that day stomped off to form their own ideologically-discredited, Leninist-Stalinist, or Trotskyite-Kalininist-Galwegian splinter group, get them behind the wheels of Leninstone’s exploding bendy buses and go and pick our brave, brainwashed troops from the Middle East. At least, we would if any of the troops wanted to come back. And if we could convince the RMT’s members not to strike over the additional duties of training us to drive. Traitors. When the troops do get back, the RMT will be first up against the wall. Though we’ll need some of those troops to help us in our armed struggle against capitalism defend civil liberties. Vote for me. It’s time for me to have a massive ego trip equality.

Twat,
She’s a campaigner, and that’s what she’ll be campaigning for. What bit of that is so difficult to understand?
That four and a half line sentence has more isms than all three volumes of Das Kapital. Damn.
On a lighter note, these mayoral candidates make the American ones seem utterly humdrum.

I’m just waiting for Ben to do a similar post on the big buffoon-like (and very comic) candidate, wholly not up to the job, that he is supporting in this race…
I sincerely hope you’re not accusing me of being a Matt O’Connor supporter…
Don’t worry, though. Everyone will get a turn.
