It's always a shame to fall at the first hurdle. I'm feeling a bit sorry for 24 year old Labour candidate for Moray, Stuart MacLennan today. Did I say candidate? I meant ex-candidate.
The poor lad obviously wasn't told that when you tweet, well, the whole world can see what you're saying.
That includes your boss, Stu. you know, the Prime Minister?
Stuart reportedly referred to the youngserly-challenged as 'coffin dodgers', the financially challenged as 'chavs', swore (a lot) and reportedly complained when his train had no first class to offer him. Good Lord, old boy - no first class? Whatever did you do? Tuck into some scones and a Pimms to remind the rest of the world you were in cattle-class by accident?
I can't prove any of this, of course, because the poor lad had to close his account, in vain it appears, as this afternoon the Labour party dropped him quicker than Cameron's going to drop the ban on fox hunting (still remembering one of the best Sun headines ever when protestors stormed the Commons - it read 'For Fox Sake').
I just can't help but wonder if ole' Stu was batting for the wrong team. I mean, a first-class loving, elderly and lower class hating Labour candidate? Whatever next? A black BNP member?
