The consituency - Brighton Kemptown - has been socially-engineered for
trendiness and faddiness over the past decade or two.

Let's start worrying when the nutters start to get elected in inner
Liverpool, suburban Hertfordshire or rural Norfolk.

Oh, sorry - I didn't realise we were talking about people who could only
cling onto a job through the lack of anybody vaguely competent being
about, rather than through their merits.

Yes, but I fail to see what that has to do with the price of fish, unless

Whatever that might mean. It's still a damp lump of rock off the north

Or perhaps you also bemoan the availability of new fangled gadgetry like

more than three channels simultaneously? Make your mind up. Do you want
stasis or not? And what was so wrong with rationing, anyway? Bananas just
aren't necessary, dammit.
