John Betjeman remarked come the end of the world he would like to be in the haberdashery department of Peter Jones, "because nothing bad could ever happen there."
The Dame has that same feeling reading Felicity Buchan's weekly catch-up. Her constituents can claim to be pretty clued up about life so may the Dame offer you some advice, Felicity?
Your government is a mess incapable even of protecting our coastal borders. It is bogged down in sleaze and has rapidly alienated its core support base.
How about confronting these concerns rather than pretending we are all in Peter Jones's Haberdashery Department?
Is Felicity looking around for a safer seat with Boundary Commission looming
ReplyDeleteIf the Russians or Chinese want to invade......
ReplyDeleteFlick is on the make. It's all survival mode. Constituents are unfortunately irrelevant. She has a couple of years to suck up and build her survival strategy post Kensington. And she is doing rather well.
DeleteProminent footage of our girl riding back from the North on the train with her new mate Boris. Very determined to get footage on the 10 O'clock News. Govt whip and new job in Department of Industry with the Secretary of State (foot in mouth Eton boy from Nigeria) in addition to her job on the Treasury Select Committee.
Bit of news coverage also having a go at Thames Water
Not making a difference but getting noticed. A busy girl.
I have been checking and was surprised to learn that she has a bit of a reputation for letting her hair down at office parties in the City. Who would have imagined....
Interesting that Felicity's Flood Survey was not directed at business victims. Could the fact a business cannot vote have a bearing?
ReplyDeleteFlick does not get involved in this stuff. Gets her PA to handle it and obtain some press coverage. The PA is a nice young girl from a wine bar family. The idea of including businesses in a survey would not occur to her. Too difficult. No business contact details in the Electoral Register - which is the limit of the nice PA's research base.
DeleteJustin Downes needs to level down his expectations and aspirations. Otherwise it will be a vision of Just In Time Downes walking into lamposts
Hawkeye....thanks for your solicitude.Us naifs always need a hawk eyed friend to keep us out of the way of street furniture. Could you expand upon the wine bar reference?
DeleteYes, Mr Downes. Felicity now has a Director of Public Relations who has the task of burnishing our MP's image as she plies her wares in other constituencies. So, in effect, we are paying for an expensive PR director....doesn't sound right to me. What is the background of this gal?
DeleteMum runs a wine bar in Brompton Road. Opposite the Ferrari showroom
