A fetching shade of purple
It's been a slow start to the campaign for Veritas, but with that patented 'Silk Cut' purple as their rosette colour, they can't go far wrong. Enjoy the grammatical errors and text formatting problems on the website front page... Bobby Kilroy-Silk assures me that he's put them on there so he can sack his IT manager at the same time that he launches a tirade against "declining, educational
standards, in our nations schools."
Actually a "straight talking" party is a laudable aim in many ways. But it's a bit rich to suggest that Kilroy, whose talent for political contortion makes Tony Blair look like Dennis Skinner, is the man for the job.
I'm sending him a stuffed toy of Barney the dinosaur - almost the right colour to be a Veritas mascot. As Barney's (German) website says, "Lasst Uns Spielen!" (which might reverse Kilroy's pathological hatred of the EU into the bargain.)

Hal, any thoughts on why Veritas would want to publicise this Quixotic incident, in which Cde Kilroy-Silk plants Marmite-encrusted lips on a local reporter? Does it merely demonstrate an unflinching commitment to truth telling, or is there something we should be told?
Very weird... I hate Marmite so I may not be the man to ask, but Kilroy might be wanting to secure backing from 'well-known' brands like Marmite for his campaign. I wonder if he'll drink the crate of Carling later in the campaign? If so it could be the return of the William Hague style of electioneering - drink 14 pints and hope your campaign staff have scheduled a toilet stop somewhere in the itinerary! The other thing I must point out is I f***ing hate Marmite.
