They say that there is no such thing as bad publicity. After appearing in Peter Doherty's Fifth Column two weeks running, with photograph, I am not so sure.

I know the Council Official who was responsible for this dastardly deed and he can be sure that I will extract my revenge sometime in the future.

I am not surprised that Peter succumbed so easily to this man's charms, we all know that it only normally costs the price of a pint.

As for me joining the communist party, perish the thought. It is not going to happen. Nor am I thinking of joining any other political party despite recently receiving some very tempting offers.

However, perhaps the same could not be said for Wayne Campbell, the leader of the Council. It was his Chairman Mao hat and coat that you saw me modelling, he also bought a little red book and a small bust of Chairman Mao, need I say more. I will leave you with that thought.
