Meddling Minty stokes the fires of British fascism

[Paul Rigby]

In his scabrous roman a clef, Greasing the Pole* (London: Anthony Gland, 2003), Sir Reginald Pike-Darkness offered a forensic portrait of New Labour eminence grise Minty Feltch.

Throughout the novel, Pike-Darkness drops progressively less subtle hints that Feltch is an MI6 asset...I wish to make it abundantly clear that all the above has absolutely no relevance whatever to the article instanced below.

Has Labour handed Stoke to the BNP?

By Mark Seddon

With the BNP on the march in Stoke-on-Trent, why has Lord Mandelson parachuted in his chosen Labour candidate?

Vintage Feltch:

Hence the delight for Mandelson today, who finished his day at the seaside with an ice-cream on the end of the north pier. He took a large bite of a mint and choc-chip scoop, leaving a smudge over his lips and nose.

"Is there anything more I can do with this ice-cream that will make you happier than you are now?" he asked photographers.
