Since that post seems to exhibit tongue in cheek remarks, we now know who that person is.

Perhaps those odd people who post something, who on being questioned, 'didn't really mean it', might care to use this handy emoticon.
Don't say I never give anything to those less fortunate.

I thought Karen Buckley did quite well considering the circumstances. To get nearly 14.000 votes considering the lack of support she got from the local Tories, was not a bad effort.
I honestly don't believe any other Tory candidate, local or not, would have got any nearer to Graham.
