I see a few Green Party councillors have been elected in the more prosperous wards of Derbyshire. A ticking off for the Tories perhaps, but it raises some very odd images.
Imagine tootling off to the polling station, giving your name and address and showing your photo ID, only to fall at the last hurdle and put a cross against a Green Party candidate. Possibly more than one, compounding the oddity of it all.
I'm not sure what the leafy suburb appeal is, unless it's the iron fist in a gardening glove.

It's mainly gone Lib Dem here in Sussex. I noticed that in Chichester, where we used to live, the sustainability and recycling zealot at the end of our road has been elected as a Green councillor. She knew I had a pedal cycle, so would buttonhole me in the street to tell me all the wonderful ideas she had about speed limits and cycle tracks.
On a related issue, I see on the BBC this morning that Emma Thompson has arrived at Westminster Abbey. I wonder where she let her bike, and how she kept her outfit so nice while cycling through the rain.
Sam - there are lots of people like her, but for some reason I find it easy to loathe Emma Thompson. Something to do with taking so much and giving back nothing but futile and desperately damaging political fantasy.
Anyone who whinges about J.K.Rowling gets short shrift here too!
Scrobs - it's amazing how the creeps she helped make millions are so ready to throw her under a bus. Must maker her wonder about political fashions.

They're also known as a Melons - Green on the outside, but Red on the inside...
Dave - probably until it dawns on them that their lives are also in the firing line.
