Hove Lib Dems saving the world - 1 comment

Brighton and Hove's powerful, 3-strong Liberal Democrat group (from a total of 54) took time out from assembling yet another leading questionnaire on the subject of rubbish and graffiti (distributed by the thousand to already-saturated residents) to issue a chilling warning to the electorate.

Though residents are already aware that any happiness they enjoy was only won through the tireless actions of Cllrs Elgood (no hat) and Watkins (hat), in the teeth of opposition from the stone-hearted Council, it was revealed that they were, ultimately, responsible for all life in the Brunswick and Adelaide ward. Tireless Liberal Democrat campaigning had won concessions from The Almighty, sparing the lives of all flora and fauna in the ward, and allowing the Sun to continue to rise in the morning and set in the evening. A highly suspicious-looking bar chart was then revealed, purporting to demonstrate the terrible toll that would result from Labour regaining the ward, as well as the "cataclysmic" effect this would have on the local litter situation, and the maintenance of the floral clock at Brunswick Square.

Anonymous commenters are believed to be already poised to ridicule the story on local Labour blogs, as part of an "inconsequential, unfunny spoof, designed solely to distract us from our mission to distribute enough bright yellow flyers on the subject of litter to make local landfill sites look like great big Suns."

For some local sanity, here's Brighton and Hove Labour's also-brightly-coloured, but rather more sensible and realistic web-site.
