Some very ungentlemanly comments have been made at the expense of our fine candidate, Mr Joe Swift.
We would like to say, in his defence, that he is, at the very least a gentleman.
He may be a clumsy Joe.
He may be a man of many faults.
He may even be a dope.
But he is a nice and kind person who is willing to try new things without worrying that he looks like a dope.
For us, that makes him entirely worthy of our vote.
