Revolt 2009:
Revolution in Bromsgrove
If we must depend on those who proclaim their revolutionary
credentials using their clothing as a medium of expression, perhaps
we should surrender now.
Channel Four News conducted some vox pops in the constituency of Bromsgrove
to sense the mood following the forced resignation of its Conservative
MP, Julie Kirkbride following the revelation that she had been cavalier
with her MP's expense claims.
A member of the public wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt stated, with
no obvious awareness of his insincerity, 'I voted for her at the last
election but, you know, after what's happened the last couple of weeks,
it's disgusting isn't it. You know, basically just want her out'.
That's right, mate, vote Tory! Che would be proud
of you!
