Green perspectives on Stockwood and Bristol. Mostly.

Winkball

When some of our local Green parliamentary candidates tried their hand at making a 'Winkball' video, I must admit that I wasn't 100% pleased with the results. It's easy to criticise..... but perhaps they could have been a little more professional?

Then I saw the kind of thing the opposition (including New Labour's 'new media czar' Kerry McCarthy) were doing. And I felt much, much better.

You can see the three Bristol East efforts at Winkball - just put Bristol East in the search box, and be entertained, bored, or embarrassed. Or check any other constituency, of course.

Dire stuff. Your Glenn would be a little more convincing if someone had first detached the robotic arm from his back.

I don't think that's a robotic arm, it looks more like a home made autocue. Self-sufficiency in action. We practise what we preach, you know!

Not sure about Vowlsie's black shirt and black tie.

I thought he was going to say, "The best policy I can think of is ... a Final Solution to the Jewish problem."

Mike Popham's "interested in waste in the health service".

Takes all sorts doesn't it?

I do have a robotic arm (and a number of other very useful enhancements) - Vote for Vowles, your bionic candidate!

Bristol Blogger - you need a bionic eye mate, both my shirt and tie are blue!!

I'm not 100% happy with my Winkball piece but it does the job pretty clearly. I come across as a human being (albeit mechanically enhanced!).

I not an independent judge of course (!) but I reckon mine's the best of the three so far done. I think its up to the right wing lot in the Tories and English Democrats to see if they can do any better.

Yours is streets ahead, Glenn. But I wonder if you'll get any real competition to sharpen up your act. Did they just catch Kerry McCarthy on a bad day, I wonder?

Maybe we'll get the Final Solution from the English Democrats.
