Politics

The next evening was our annual local Labour Party event, where candidates for local and national elections would speak, and sound as boring as hell.

Entering the warm bustling hall with my father, Bonza, his brother and his father – all staunch Labour Party men, we greeted many familiar faces, soon getting a drink at the bar. My father was not much of a drinker, or talker, but politics brought him out of his shell. He loved to complain about things.

Many familiar faces greeted me, questions of the girls and of Jacqueline - few questions of a political nature.

Our local MP was in attendance as usual, the man very boring and reliable, reliably boring, but he had with him a heavyweight, the Shadow Housing Minister.

‘Ah, Mister Roskov,’ the minister began when we met.

‘No I won’t meet your wife.’

He laughed. ‘She is a fan, yes.’

‘More Mercedes adverts out soon, different ones.’

‘And maybe someday … an advert for us? Party conference time perhaps?’

‘I’m not sure that good looking young men and women are synonymous with you boring old men.’

He forced a smile. ‘Not usually, no, but we like the celebrity endorsements.’

‘I’m not a celeb yet, give me a year or two, eh.’

‘You’re all over the glossy magazines, so in my book that makes you a celeb.’

‘I’d be happy to assist the Labour Party, that’s why I’m here after all.’

‘Good, good, so we … could send you a request?’

‘You could, yes, or my father would give me grief, he’s been in these meetings since he was twelve.’

‘A true Labour man,’ the minister approved.

The speeches started, mention of old members that had passed away, mention of donors and thanks issued to those donors. I had donated five hundred pounds, but I received no mention. Perhaps the donated amounts had to be larger.

They mentioned Gladys, who had been a life-long Labour supporter, and that the European elections would be in March. Our existing MP stood up, a boring speech about planned policy for the next election, but that our hopes might again be dashed by the looney left wing and their radical policies.

The Shadow Housing Minister spoke, again about policy for the next election, 1997 maybe, and again he took a swipe at the looney left wing fringe idiots.
