“Another self-publicising 'spin-doctor' with his eye on the prize. It does not matter whether it is unpaid or not; Mandy does nowt for nowt. His monikers 'the dark lord' and 'the creature of the night' don't exactly sell the man. Still, will be fun to see him with the other political egotist, Prezza.

“Another champagne pinko that knows that Hulls and the Humbers rebirth is imminent and thats the only reason hes jumping on the bandwagon.
I despise him, he views himself as political survivor when really hes a slippery chancer probably with a lot of dirt on the rich and powerful.
And i reckon that guacamole story about him is true despite what snopes says......”

“@ crackman, I take it your comment was posted while under the influence of crack? A red toff donning gowns to preen it over the great socialist heartland? Hypocrisy of Colin Inglis-esque proportions.”
