Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Lydia taking the leap--I'm a Tory now!
Hello Harringay,
A few weeks ago a good friend in the Conservatives asked me to run under their banner in the local elections and I didn't laugh right in his face.
My original excursion into politics was in 2001, when I joined the Conservatives because I was so angry about the Victoria Climbie thing but then I left them in 2005 because:
a) I got fed up of politics and
b) I got fed up of the Conservatives (mind you I was just as fed up of the other lot).
When, a few weeks ago, I was invited back to the treadmill, I wasn't any better disposed to the political life but there is so much sh*t going on in this borough that I decided I couldn't ignore it any more. I don't fit that well into a Party mold but seeing as the Conservatives are the only group really serious about opposition in this borough and seeing as I am an Angry Old Woman, I decided that *someone* has to do something. Don't talk to me about the LibDems. The place for nodding dogs is in the back of the car, not in the Council chamber.
*If you want to follow me on Twitter, the address is <@LoveHarringay>
*If you want to get in touch with me by phone, leave a message with Tottenham Conservatives on 020 8374 6305. I'll get back to you. Or email loveharringay@gmail.com.
*If you want to discuss political theory, ring the LSE.
And from now on, you can be as suspicious as you want about anything I say.
btw:
I and my two running-mates, Sean Rivers and Massimo Rossini (NB--Rivers, Rivlin & Rossini make The Three Rs, which all good Conservatives support) will be putting out a leaflet soon.
The local party have agreed to let us write up our own stuff, so we are actually going to be working hard on it, ourselves. At least take a look when it lands on your doormat.

I do know that the French speaking part of Belgium is called Wallonia and it's definitely "Leff" there although if the bill is three euros ninety you do a double take.

Depends where you are. It's pronounced with the e at the end sounding like the u in fur if you are in Belgium or Germany. Maybe a tad pretentious if you pronounce it that way when you are ordering it in the UK.

As opposed to Harringay--which all the politicos will insist is a two-horse race.

Have you asked Betfred for the odds on the other horses?

As a matter of fact, it hadn't occurred to me to lay a bet on mysef to win. Would that be legal?

Always legal to bet on yourself to win. Losing on the other hand...

You know what--I'm going to have a punt.
I'll just have to find a place to do it. Now let me see...can there possibly be anywhere I could lay a bet round here...? Oh dear, this is sooo difficult. There just are not enough bookies in Green Lanes, are there?
