    I just moved out of that greasy fucker’s constituency. Ashfield is a futureless shithole full if belligerent cretins and he fits it to a tee. He campaigned and won on a platform of thinly-disguised xenophobia. Him and the local racist party, the Ashfield Independents (some of their senior members are back in court this week, I think) are revolting and I couldn’t be happier to leave that piss-stinking hellhole behind.

    But I feel so sorry for the Eastern Europeans who live in the area; there are a lot of them and in the last few years they have revitalised a lot of the towns - especially Sutton-in-Ashfield, who’s high street is full of thriving businesses thanks to them - and are genuinely resented by many of the feckless locals.
