Once rent controls were announced, the rebellion began

Cambridge’s bedbugs have laughed in the face on puny humans having trouble finding somewhere to live, it was revealed today.  Some of the cities smallest residents say they find a large range of affordable and slightly moist accommodation all over the City.  They admit though admit there is a shortage in Newnham, but claim this is offset by the ready availability, length and comforting grease of Cllr Daniel Ratcliffe’s ‘hair’.

Green Rupert Read went on about how his party was different from the rest, even though no one else had given a policy yet: “Only my party is standing up for bugs. Only my party is sitting down for bugs.

Only my party welcomes bugs. Bugs, bugs everywhere! Freedom for bugs!”

Labour’s Daniel Zeichner came out with some socialist guff:  “It is the hard working bugs of this Country that have been failed by this evil Tory-led Government and their nasty iky Lib Dem lackies.  They probably don’t even like bees, and bees go near flowers.  Flowers are nice, sweet things, so therefore you should vote Labour.  Yes.”

Conservative PPC Chamali Fernando was concerned about her lack of experience dealing with bugs, but had an innovative/stupid solution:  “We could draw on their wings so we know what type of bug they are” she said “for example, everyone likes a good moth, but we need more training to deal with bees, like advanced swatting classes.”.

Lib Dem Julian Huppert nearly said something about Ms Fernando’s statement, but decided to remain strangely silent instead.


Nothing can prepare you for the terror of a know it all.

Restanding Cambridge MP, Julian Huppert, has promised to annoy you for another five long years if you vote for him again, Cambridge Lib Dems claim.  He claimed he could deliver years more irritating press releases, gurning mug hots and bar charts.

Huppert made the promise whilst explaining something to someone in great detail that they had absolutely no interest in whatsoever.

“I’ll bang on endlessly about cycles and how they will cure all ills, mention I’ve got a PhD a lot, then complain of being bullied if anyone disagrees with me” he confirmed.

Giggig McGugg, chairTory of the backbench 1978 committee, named after the year of Huppert’s birth, commented “Oh gawd….he might be coming back?  I’m going to Cambridge to campaign for Daniel Zeichner.

The bobbing.  The endless bobbing.” he sobbed into his cigar.

Caring, compassionate Conservative PPC for Cambridge, and sometime suit model, Chamali Fernando, has announced the launch of a series of children’s dolls, it was made up, here, because that’s where you’re reading it.

The project will help train clueless people how to care better for people’s needs, and/or decide who to leave dieing in a ditch in case there’s a chance they stab someone, or worse still want to watch moronic daytime television.  Because that’s the choice for those with a mental illness, obviously.

“I’m committed to being compassionate and caring, not just because I have a kind soul, but because my parents told me to” said Fernando.

Chief Marketing officer for Ms Fernando, her Dad, explained “We’ll have a full balanced range.  Chamali is especially proud of her push to get mentally ill people helped, so we’ll have ‘Nutty girl’ doll so there’s something they can buy too.”

Prof Dooby Stingpert commented “Toys you say?  Excellent!  Always wanted a nice toy myself.  Is there a Chamali doll, and does it come with an ‘unfortunate turn of phrase’ setting?”.

Heidi Allen, Conservative candidate for South Cambridgeshire MP has launched her campaign by deciding to say a lot of obvious things in quick succession, it was revealed today.

Furthermore, she has announced she will “huff and puff and blow your house down” if you don’t vote for her.

Mrs Allen, or “the anointed one” as she is known to party members, said

“I know it’s a really obvious thing to say, but I think politicians should listen:  I have ears , all the better to hear you with.

I also think it’s obvious to say that we should see our voters.  I have eyes, all the better to see you with.

I also have a nose, all the better to smell you with.

Hang on, I’m not sure I need to smell my voters, but I can certainly smell some of my canvassers.”


4FlynnsUKIP in Cambridge are totes different from the rest of the political parties, their White, Male, Upper middle class, Hetrosexual ex-journalist  candidate has claimed, today.  Whilst their leader is  White, Male, Heterosexual, and upper middle class, he has never been a journalist, just proving their diversity.  Yeah.

A spokes white-male-heterosexual cissed:  “Insinuations we aren’t diverse are nonsense.  We have a whole range of white, male, heterosexual men in different middle class jobs.  And we’ve got an asian, AND he’s wearing a turban and everything.”.

University Professor of studies Dr Far Ageisshit explained:  “One of the least understood facets of multiculturalism is what I’ve termed ‘inter-meta multicultarism’ which focuses on amplifying the very small differences between otherwise entirely identical people.

Did I say “termed”?  Oh, sorry, I meant to say “Made up so I’d get some funding for real research.”

Speaking from his European Union funded private plane, Mr Flynn explained just how different he’d be:

“I’m going to win votes by planning not to win any votes” he said, “it’s a bit like playing hard to get.

People shouldn’t vote for us because they have to.  People shouldn’t vote for us because we’ll make promises we can’t keep.

People” he said, dramatically spreading his hands in a triangle shape “shouldn’t vote for us.”


He's already been back 4 times.

Labour candidate Daniel Zeichner will use his Labour laser eyes to burn through his opponents souls, winning the election by default, he has claimed.

Labour tacticians announced that, having tried to get elected four times already, something had to give.

“After a ‘vote’ of our national Authoritarian Council, it was decided that Daniel should give his eyes.” said a talking Labour Rose.

Zeichner cried out:  “782 times Julian Huppert has sent his soul to hell!  Whilst I will waste no time to burn the Green challenger, Huppert’s sins are greater.”

Querying why the figure of 782 had not changed in 6 months, Professor of Socialist Theoretical Dogma Herman Wan der WanerVoooort scratched a boil on his lip and explained:

“Huppert’s crimes are many:  not being Labour, not being Peter Roberts, and worst of all actually being quite good as an MP.  Because of this, the number 782 has become frozen in Zeichner’s android brain, forever unable to change.

Forever, until the end of time for Daniel.  Or May 8th, whichever is soonest.”

Rupert Read knows more about thinking than you, so you should stop thinking and be what he says, Cambridge Green Party have announced.

He’s thought about things so much that he probably thought about you thinking about them before you actually started thinking about them, making your actual thoughts pretty redundant.  And he thought about that, too.

He’s thought about you, who you are, and what you are.  He’s even thought about what you might want to be and whether other people should let you be that.  Many of these thoughts are free thinking and should be thought, some of them should not, but all of them are thoughts he thinks.

He can’t stop himself thinking, such is his thought power.  You, you oppressor of of White Men!  Stop!  Stop oppressing his thoughts!

“Anyway” said Dr Read “after thinking about it a bit more, I’ve decided to stop thinking – it doesn’t seem to end well for me.”.

Tory candidate, and daughter of Mr and Mrs Fernando, Chamali Fernando has promised to deliver “A bit of blue for the Dads” in her Campaign to be Cambridge’s next MP.

Ms Fernando hopes to whip up a storm with some milk throughout Cambridge.  And then add blue food dye.  Otherwise she’ll have turned Cambridge White, not blue.

A spokes – parent for Ms Fernando explained the complex thinking behind the rigorous intellectual campaign the Conservative candidate was running:  “None of this works, none of it, not a diddle, if we don’t have a STRONGER ECONOMY.

None of it.  None of it works.  Not any of it.  STRONGER ECOMOMY!  None.  STRONGER!!!  ECONOMY!!

CHAMALI SMASH!!!”
