This Headline Has No Double Entendre

"I Won't Get the Kleenex Out About Patricia"


This was Alan Johnson on Patricia Hewitt's decision not to support him. At least, that's what I think he meant. Gulp...

UPDATE: Tom Watson has a highly entertaining count of the nomination process for Labour's deputy leadership HERE. Ben Brogan reports on Alan Johnson;s sense of humour and his campaign launch HERE.

At least with Johnson the branded goods he quoted was tissue-paper rather than Australian Sellotape!

Unlike his predeccessor and the not-lamented Home Secretary.

-Ed Balls is supporting Hilary Benn- More Fool him!
-Yvette Cooper is supporting Harriet Harman- They'll be some domesctics going on there no doubt
-Stephen Pound and Hazel Blears- What comedy duo!
-Bob Marshall-Andrews has chosen Peter Hain- I always new Hain was still a communist

Who cares who's supporting who?
They're all a shower of shite, every last one of them.

And as for the sham "contest" cooked up behind closed doors by Brown, Meacher, and McDonnell, that seems to be falling a bit flat.

Even though Gordo wants a sham contest to combat claims of a coronation there are so many Labour MP's terrified of him that they can't muster 45 to nominate fake leftie McDonnell.

So, a coronation it is then.

Good Spot !!

I think not being supported by Hypocritical Hewitt is a positive advantage. Now off to check the betting prices methinks...

I think it is a good call by Johnson, whatever he meant by it.

Sounds like an instruction from John Prescott to the civil servants!

What a disgraceful post Iain. I like to think I have a reasonably well developed sense of the ridiculous and am not very PC, but I'm afraid I just didn't get the joke.

Having been to see Rick Mayall in 'The New Statesman' last night, I can't see it as anything other than a double entendre. Plenty of Kleenex in evidence there! (Mind you, Mayall had a stinking cold which didn't help.)

Kleenex is no good, falls apart too easily. He should use an old sock like I do.

ps it's even better when sitting astride a rocking horse!!
