DON'T BRING SEXY BACK


Here at Swift HQ we are becoming increasingly concerned about the support being given to the Wilson candidature.



Anyone with eyes can see why votes could be cast for Wilson. He's a veritable hottie. And, we have to admit, he knows his stuff.


But let's think about the long-term implications of a Wilson victory. It is literally impossible to concentrate when he is on TV.


Now admittedly, some gardeners are male, and a percentage of these will be immune to the "Wilson Effect".


What about the fairer sex though? I foresee summers of untied-in sweet peas, un-pricked-out seedlings, and borders going entirely unmulched as the female nation swoons over Wilson, failing to heed any of his helpful garden advice.


Dear readers, let me urge you:

A Vote for Wilson is A Vote for Not Concentrating.
A Vote for Wilson is A Vote For Horticultural Disaster.
Vote Swift!

Perhaps balaclavas are the way to go after all?

How dare you use the phrase Horticultural Disaster in the same sentence as Matthew Wilson.

The phrase sits far better with The Hoochie Couchie Man.

The Sock has started a Beardshaw for Berryfields campaign ( or is it Berryshaw for Beardfields??)!!! Watch out for pink Dahlias!

Give me the eye candy any day, I know how to garden!

Matthew, or Cleve, or both (is that just greedy?)

If I can't have either, then my vote is for Carol, a vote for the older woman!

Having Swifty as the lead presenter on GW would certainly be very green - all that electricity saved as the nation's gardeners turn off their TV!

We need someone with sound horticultural qualifications and experience combined with communication skills that can inspire, enthuse and inform everyone from complete beginners to expert amateurs and professionals. Looks don't matter but a sense of humour would be a fine attribute rather than being the joke that Swifty has become with his allotment and his rosemary and the throw away jasmine and that shed roof and......
