It's the look of the thing.

It is said that much of politics is concerned with image, and in an age where Members of Parliament are chosen as much by their looks as by their political affiliations and policies, what are we to make of the couple of hundredweight of potatoes swathed in red serge and sable who paraded herself through Accrington town centre last weekend?

On what is arguably the most important day of her political career to date, the sort of day that any self-respecting woman would agonise over and plan for months in advance, this is what our new Mayor looks like.

Nobody can help being plain, or as our American cousins have it "homely", and in the ordinary everyday world it does not really matter as much as some would have us believe; you really don't have to have hollywood good looks and glamour to be effective or competant. One is not really required to spend every spare waking moment in either the gym or the beauticians salon. Nor, surprisingly, is one required to expend the equivalent of of a developing country's Gross Domestic Product on a suitable wardrobe and accessories. But I really think that when one becomes the ceremonial head of a borough as proud as ours it really is incumbent on one to make at least a bit of an effort.

I too love a nice King Edward or a Jersey Royal, but I don't think HBC Blue's quite cut the mustard somehow.

Apparently, According to Councillor Anne Scaife, "...She is like Wonder Woman..."!

Sounds to me like the councillor has need of the services of an optician. In anyone else such a comment would make one wonder which side the speaker batted for.

I used to work with her two years back. Believe it or not she has dropped a LOT of weight - she was morbidly obese when I knew her. She has actually done something with her hair as well.
She is a really unpleasant person though. At the risk of being sued for slander I shall keep quiet, but not many people, including myself, had a lot of time for her.

Who did she have to promise NOT to sleep with to get the job?

I do not know nor am I interested in knowing our latest mayor, a lot of money was wasted by a few in celebration of her gaining this position.

However I find it shameful that so many people would take these cheap shots. O.K. so she wouldn't make it as May Queen, but would you be so cruel if she was in a wheel chair for example?
I doubt it! Let's stick to calling these people for being idiots if thats the way they act, but to pick on them because of how they look? and in such a cowardly manner as this? That is not what I expect to find from fellow members of Accyweb.
Lets stick to being

right wing Nazis racists

we do not need to go any lower than that!
