The Labour candidate is an "interesting" character.John O,Farrell (satirist,comic writer and former speech writer for Tony Bliar) wrote a book quite a few years ago,about the trials & tribulations of being a Labour supporter, in which he expressed his feelings about the Brighton bomb.He said he felt a surge of excitment when he heard the news about the bomb,he was disappointed Thatcher hadnt been murdered and kept asking repeatedly why she didnt stay in her bathroom 2 minutes longer.She left her bathroom 2 minutes before the bomb went off and the bathroom was destroyed in the blast.
He also said he used to fantasise about scenarios which stopped her being PM,including one where he would pop up at the Tory conference with a machine gun.
He said when she dies her coffin should be borne on the shoulders of six part time burger flippers and at the cremation her body should be flame grilled with gherkins and slices of cheese.
He was also disappointed that the U.K. won the Falklands war.
Norman Tebbit,whose wife was crippled in the bomb blast said he is a "incontinently voiced moral reprobate".
To me it answers some questions and confirms suspicions about decisions made by Labour which on the surface didnt make sense when they are in Govt. These people hate anything British,simple as that.
