Dobbo to the Rescue

Iain Dale 10:42 AM

Just spotted on the Shettleston Road in Glasgow East, none other than Frank Dobson. I think I ought to start a new Top Ten List...

You Know You're Getting Desperate When...

10. You draft Frank Dobson in to persuade people to vote Labour in a Glasgow council estate.

Do continue it...

Leave dobbo alone ! His ideas at health were far more revolutionary than some of those stick-in-the-mud types, and they have been nicked on a wholesale leave by 'Lord' Darzi..

8- You employ Freud to copy Conservative Policy having only just got rid of him for being too Blairy.
7 You go on the One show in the hope of a friendly interview
6 You cast off the old tax and spend image only to replace it with spend and spend.
5 You sigh with relief at the news lunatics can now be MP`s
4Your new border control service hires an illegal immigrant
3 You count holding onto 13500 majority in a welfare waste land as a stunning success
2 You delay the announcement of Glasgow pilot for said (copied from Conservatives) Welfare reform in case you annoy voters you have already paid for.
1 You run an anti Polish immigrant by election in Crewe despite being responsible for the quadrupling immigration
0 You run an anti Thatcher campaign in Glasgow East ....why not an anti Churchill campaign ...anti Lord Liverpool ?


I could go on...

7. You select Mags 'the mole' Curran as your parliamentary candidate.

6. Your candidate makes a big song and dance about being 'frae the East End, until she is reminded that she lives in a rather large mansion on the South Side, away from all the poor people.

5. 2 days before the by-election, it transpires that your previous candidate may not have retired on health grounds but on 'snout in the trough' grounds.

You set Purnell up to tell a election meeting of the Labour faithful why he is proposing to treat IB claimants like criminals by giving them community service. I'd give Purnell two minutes before he gets a 'Glasgow kiss'.

4. You ask Chris Paul to draft a message to attract Conservative voters.

Anon @ 1.45. Yeah, it's much easier to say in the bunker during by-elections than actually get out and campaign.
