THE View From The Sun.... We boldly go, so you don’t have to… ELECTION DAY 3

A total concentration today on one man, and for the first time its not Gordon Brown. Under the headline “What a Twit”, the internet activities of a Labour wanker of a candidate are covered in considerable detail.

Stuart Maclellan shared with the Twitter world his rather infantile views on various members of the political world. They compare badly with the level of insults regularly used by Bart Simpson, but despite covering them in detail, the Sun found no evidence at all of anything sexist, homophobic or racist. This certainly has not be the case for some prominent members of the Tory Party, but as a newcomer to Sun world I cannot comment on whether these were covered in the same level of detail.

Mr Maclellen obviously on this evidence has the same immature sense of humour commonly associated with upper class public school boys and so should be well appreciated in the ranks of the Tory Party but one wonders what he was doing as a Labour PPC.

Meantime someone told me that Dave C had been outlining where his £12 billion of cuts would fall. Despite going through the Sun from cover to cover I cannot find them. What are Sun readers missing?
