In the week that Somerset achieved its latest accolade: a well-deserved mention in the “Rotten Boroughs” section of Private Eye (“vindictive campaign backfires”); and Dog & Duck regulars achieved previously unimagined depths of despair; a bit of good news came in from – of all places – You Tube!
The latest “SCC – politico-administrative disaster area” video was, potentially, yet another wrench to the already pummelled gut of Joe Public. We saw it just before closing time on Friday evening. It had been up less than twelve hours, but had already been viewed more than 100 times!
At first even the battle-hardened regulars were shocked at just how rude and disrespectful Simon (£4 million) Clifford was to Mr. Buchanan.
‘Well, b*gger it Duck,’ said Pat, ‘just exactly who is supposed to be smearing who?’
‘Hang on, hang on,’ said Daff, ‘wind back a minute … that looked like our Jim!’
‘You’re dead right, Daff!’ said I, ‘and the other one’s Doug!’
Well, how about that for a turn up? At least one, maybe two representatives from Dog & Duck country apparently showing public support for Paul van Buitenen! (sorry, meant to say “Buchanan” – Freudian slip).
So it’s not just Sir Chris Clarke making a stand then. And the landlord was totally made up (Jim’s a mate of his) - so much so that he allowed us to write this post, which almost strays into the forbidden realms of “Politics”.
See the complete video here.
Maybe they’re not all a bunch of lily-livered lemmings! Maybe we will bother to vote after all!
And anyway - we're a County, not a "Borough".
