Peppa is a Tory


So now we know: Peppa Pig, Jamie's favourite TV star, is no fan of the Labour Government. I always knew she had something about her.

In case you haven't heard, the Labour Party put out a press release a few days ago saying Miss Pig had accepted an invitation to join poison pixie Yvette Cooper and Cabinet Office Minister Tessa Jowell on a visit to a children's centre, "to highlight Labour's policies to support families."

But then this morning, E1 Entertainment on behalf of the pig of the moment, confirmed that Peppa had indeed been invited but would not be there.

It added in a statement: "Peppa Pig is a well known fan of Sure Start children's centres but, in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding, we have agreed she should not attend."

(Funnily enough, I've never heard her praise Sure Start children's centres once during her piggy adventures, despite seeing every single episode of every series more times than I dare recall).

But the implications of her non-appearance remain obvious.

Peppa Pig wants change in this great country of ours, and the only way to achieve real change on 6th May is to elect a new Conservative Government with David Cameron as our new Prime Minister. Good for her (and well done to Daddy Pig who has similar views to me on several matters and who probably played a pivotal role in shaping her decision).

By the way, you may remember a few weeks ago I wrote about my mate Rodney who is standing as the Conservative and Unionist candidate in East Antrim. I promised to keep you informed on how he's getting on.

The answer is very well and he's now increasingly hopeful of removing the incumbent DUP muppet who, over the last five years, has proven to be massively out of his depth in Westminster.

Underlining that point, yesterday Rodney received the backing of someone who actually does command widespread respect in our nation's Parliament.

If you live in East Antrim, please vote McCune on May 6th.
