The fishing party

Some random blather about politics as it happens on the TV.

People who have been reading this weblog for some time will know my disdain for fishermen who don't get it. Well, they've put together a political party.

And they're standing in Banff and Buchan. Alex Salmond's old seat, possibly the safest SNP seat in the country.

Fuckers.

Oh, did I mention that their candidate is wearing a suit that looks like a faded coffee cream, with a bouquet that looks more like a wreath than anything else?

(Yes, there haven't been results for a good 15 minutes, so I'm delving into trivia.)

In the mean time, the BBC guy is pouring scorn on people who dare to stand as single-issue candidatates. For all that I think the fishermen guy is wrong, I think he's a bit harsh, and rather over-establishment minded.

Excellent: Labour have taken the BNP leader's council seat! But they've lost some 4 more - boo.
