Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for nine years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
First it was Digby Jones becoming a Labour Lord... but not joining the Party. Then the Tories recruited Tony Lit, who had been photographed cuddling up to Tony Blair and the Labour Party, as their candidate in Ealing Southall... and now we find this Lib Dem councillor who has sparked a bit of a row was not actually a member of the Liberal Democrat Party. Still... it gives me a chance to tell this old joke...
An old chap in an elderly person’s home is celebrating his 100th birthday. As a joke the staff decide to hire a stripogram from the local ‘Surpersex’ stripogram agency.
When the young women arrives she is dressed in just a fur coat and thigh length boots. The staff point him out, sitting slumped in his chair, half asleep and dribbling a bit. “I don’t think I’ll be able to do much for him” says the girl. “Oh, don’t worry, it’s only a bit of fun and he’ll have a laugh, everybody else will have a laugh and he'll go back to sleep with a smile on his face. What do you actually do though,” they ask”
“I usually just walk up to them, throw off the coat and shout out the name of the agency… and that’s it.” So… as the staff and other patients all gather round… off she goes. Walks over, throws off the coat and bends down to yell in his ear…. “SUPERSEX”
The old fellah stirs briefly, lifts his head up and says… “I’ll have the soup.”
I think Jailhouse Lawyer is running ahead of himself. I could be persuaded that you might have a sex change but you join the Lib Dems - not in my wildest dreams!
I've started referring in public to the 'red', 'blue' or 'yellow' ones, it makes a lot more sense.
I mean, the red ones support privatisation, the blue ones go on about cutting pollution and the yellow ones want to ban everything.

Well, must say I'd rather see Ms Bushell "take it off" than Ming Campbell . . .
Rather amusing that local LDs in her area are getting their knickers in a twist about this - thought they were LIBERAL Democrats?
Here is another joke, which may be appropos; was first told (though actually may be much older) by followers of Robert Taft after Wendell Wilkie (previously a registered Democrat) snatched the GOP nomination away from Taft in 1940:
One Sunday two woman were standing chatting in front of their church before the worship service, when up walks the town prostitute, well dressed in good taste, who proceeds to give them a cheery smile and stroll through the front door.
"Goodness gracious!" said one of the ladies, scandalized, "what do you think of THAT?"
"Well," replied her friend, "I'm very glad that she's renounced her past sins and is turning over a new leaf. BUT," she added, "I don't think they ought to invite her to lead the choir her first Sunday!"

IF you've not checked out the pix of the young lady in question via the web, ye really should:
There'll always be an England
When there's a patriotic lass
Who proudly waves St George's Cross
As she drops her frilly pants
My Methodist Minister colleague down in Bideford, the Turbulent Cleric, is actually in the midst of this particular turbulence. His site is worth a visit to get the local angle:https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12362247&postID=582611435996135715

Bit late on the LibDem stripper, but you have made up for it with the joke.
BTW, I was going to post on the stripper and declare that not only had you joined the LibDems but that you had also had a sex change...
