Dear All
Former cabinet minister Hazel Blears has experienced a taste of what ordinary people in Britain have to suffer because Labour isn’t working!
Her car has been attacked while she was out canvassing voters; local kids slashed the tyres and smashed the windscreen of her Citroen Xsara Picasso.
However Blears reckons that her car wasn’t targeted because of who she is or because of her involvement in the expenses scandal seems a bit naïve to me.
In true outrage for a change she has called the attack "pathetic and cowardly".
Blears recently survived an attempt to deselect her as there was a lot of bad feeling over allegations of how she had used the parliamentary expenses for personal gain.
In fact such was the fury that Hazel Blears agreed to pay Capital Gains Tax of £13k to Customs and Revenue because she was concerned what people thought of her.
I would suggest people thought she was a rat who was trying to save her political skin by paying the money back.
In order to try and manage the news story Blears wants to widen this incident to a general concern about anti- social behaviour.
Blears said;
"This was an act of anti-social behaviour by some youths, the same kind of anti-social behaviour unfortunately many of my constituents have to put up with”.
New Labour Britain dear.
"I was canvassing nearby at the time and returned to my car to find the damage”.
New Labour Britain dear.
"I had earlier seen a gang of kids hanging around the car. This was pathetic and cowardly."
New Labour Britain dear.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said;
"At about 6.25pm on Sunday police in Salford were called to Cemetery Road, Weaste, following a report that a car had been damaged. Between 5pm and 6.15pm, offenders had smashed the windscreen of a parked grey Citroen Xsara Picasso and slashed all four tyres. No-one was injured in the incident and officers are now investigating."
I suspect that within the local community there will be very little sympathy for Blears personally and those involved might be regarded as ‘local heroes’.
As someone responsible for creating New Labour Britain; she seems remarkably unhappy about the results.
Yours sincerely

I wonder if she was too "tired" to change her own slashed tyres.
Dear Anon
I don't know if she was too tired but her tyres are not covered by insurance.
I would expect her to file a claim on expenses for four new ones on the basis she was going about doing work in her area.
More money in the bin of Salford's least wanted.
