In the aftermath of the rabble at the Guido Fawkes blog thinking
it would be a really good idea to take the piss out of shadow chancellor “Auguste” Balls because of his stammer,
there was a discussion between newly appointed teaboy Alex Wickham and the
rather more real-worldly Owen Jones, after the former had claimed that the two
were “mates”. Jones protested that he’d
only met Wickham briefly.
It does seem a stretch for a vapid right-wing spin merchant
to enjoy any kind of meeting of minds with someone as forthrightly left-leaning
and inclined to adhere to facts, but I can confirm that Jones and Wickham were
both at the last Political Scrapbook
party, along with the odious flannelled fool Henry Cole, who was pretending to
be off-duty, while fishing for any information he could find.
In the course of his attendance, it seems Wickham
encountered a lager shandy of significantly greater strength that he is
accustomed to, the result being that he had to be given assistance to remain in
an upright position. Owen Jones, being a more seasoned practitioner in these
matters, suffered no such problem, and being of selfless nature, he briefly
gave the necessary assistance.
The moment of charity and good humour was captured for
posterity, and has found its way – no names, no packdrill – to Zelo
Street. Note the slightly apprehensive look on Wickham’s face, possibly
at having to be assisted by someone wearing
one of Scrapbook’s T-Shirts which
bears an unkind (but probably factually accurate) reference to Education
Secretary Michael “Oiky” Gove.
Note also that, unlike his Twitter photo which suggests he
wears glasses, Wickham appears not to need them, even when Elephants Trunk and
Mozart. So don’t be fooled into dismissing the presence of what looks like the
Fawkes teaboy just because he isn’t wearing his specs – back to the disguise
drawing board for the perpetually thirsty Paul Staines and his pals.
And finally, note that the odious Cole, despite continuing
protestations of objectivity, could not bring himself to actually put the Gove
T-Shirt on. Once a clueless
right-winger, and all that. Another fine
mess, once again.
