So much so, that he mentioned it in the Council Chamber. The Chronicle and Echo though then wrongly attributed this slur to my good friend John Dickie. John is understandably very angry at this accusation and wants me to put the record straight following a similar correction in the newspaper. John in no way likened TW with Il Duc'e, he instead in his blog compared him to uncle Joe Stalin!
I however would like to personally apologise and put the record straight and to show him that there are no hard feelings, and no harm intended (and to hopefully cheer up his time at conference) I include today a few other likenesses for him to giggle over in declaring the runners and riders in the:
2009 23,000 GUINEAS NORTHAMPTON LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BOROUGH COUNCIL LEADERSHIP STAKES
It seems as Tony's probable day of destiny on October 6th (see astragate, the fallout) approaches that several of the Lib Dem faithful have already jumped ship and are busily parading their favourites for the forthcoming race around the Guildhall ring.
So as a definitive form guide, together with our own totally in fun 'separated at birth' likenesses are the SP's for the opening account
Even Money 1/1 Brian (Roger DeCourcey) HoarePictured here with fellow Lib Dem Cllr John Yates, Brian must start as the even money favourite, a safe pair of hands and a likely candidate for the 'lets not rock the boat too hard' punters
2/1 David (Sven) Perkins
Coming up fast on the hard right rail, Cllr David Perkins could just carry the Lib Dem dressing room with his quiet man team talks and right wing ball work
13/2 Brenden (Lawrenson) GlynaneThis pundits choice might not make it to the 'Match of the Day', due to other engagements elsewhere. An outside chance unless another Jockey can be found to ride the opposition in the County Council Stakes.
20/1 Paul (Jordan) Varnsverry
Varno would love to go the distance here but may be seen as too over keen by his peers. The likeness? Well they may be facially different (not to mention the body) but both Varno and our Katie would of course do anything and say anything at the moment just to get their mug in the papers
So who is it be? Have I missed any late entries? and can any other 'separated at birth' figures be found at the Guildhall?
So place your Bets........................................Your's ever
Tony (Moylesy) Clarke
Hi Tony, my understanding is that the Il Duc'e comment was first made on Fitzy's blog. I guess this puts you in the clear a place where a number of us would like to be at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAnjona, you have always been in the clear, not many could be more loyal to the party, it's just that they view the world through mud stained spectacles and judge everyone by their own decietful standards.
ReplyDeleteAnd whilst they run your name into the ground where are you?
Campaigning in Kettering for Phil whilst they sit on their cowardly backsides.
Give my regards to Mr Sawford, and ignore the fools at region, they are not worth it.
I have to admit Mr. C that you are without doubt trouble!!!
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is also acutely obvious that your friendship and support is also worth its weight in gold...
I dread the day I have to make that choice between your friendship and my political beliefs, I hope it never comes to that.
Thank you for being my friend and making me smile... even though I didn't maybe want to!
Plus you missed off Dennis... But I dunno if I could find a look~a~like for him!!
Dennis is a deadringer for Barry, the ballroom dancer from Hi De Hi, but someone else can source the picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the diference between Jordan and Varnsverry? Varnsverry is one big one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Spitting image of the guy!
Character wise too... best to keep out of that one though hey!!
You are still trouble young man!!!
