Trollbury St Richeldis, where Canon Lewis is the only Labour voter |
The good Canon was very dismissive of my concerns about the departure of the Brendanite Oblates, and said that matters had been settled in a vibrant and forward looking way, and that I need not trouble myself any further on the matter. As I entered his study he sprang to attention, and minimised the windows on his desktop, which took a little while as he seemed to have multiple pages open - all from the Damian Thompson Blog, "Holy Smoke" in that excellent newspaper "The Daily Telegraph". I must admit that I was a little curious at his interest - given that the General and Local Election results in Trollbury Rural (which were helpfully pointed out to me by several outraged parishioners in May 2010) were as follows:
Biffo Coutts-Leigh Sotherington (Conservative) 30785
Derek Ginjag (Ratepayers against the Channel Tunnel) 20604
Marjory Leigh-Sotherington Coutts (Forty-Shilling Freeholders and Spaniel-Breeders Alliance) 10452
Sid Millispart (Labour) 1
The good canon fiddled about with his online folders, and hit the print button a few times - but after the first page or two - the printer ran out of paper. The Canon was a tad put out, and, having told me not to touch anything, he threw his donkey-jacket over his shoulders and dashed out to get some more from the church office - which gave me ten minutes or so alone with my temptations.
