James and Bracey put names forward
Gosh, some desperate candidates in the May council elections.
As I have previously revealed, John James is standing for UKIP out in Tim Watts land, Tanworth-in-Arden.
Something of a natural connection with Nigel Farage – beer, fags and women.
Here he is asking SamCam whether she is going to endorse him (well I think that's what he said)!
I asked him the other day what he would do if he won.
He was horrified at the prospect!
Now it gets worse.
Keith Bracey has been confirmed as a candidate for The Green Party in Sandwell – I thought there wasn’t a blade of green grass in Sandwell (or perhaps that’s the point – doh!).
Like JJ, he reveals: “I am what they call a 'paper candidate' and have not a chance of winning.
“However it is a 'sprat to catch a mackerel' and will mean that the Green Party is taken more seriously at future elections and that we can secure more electoral resources.”
Ho, ho, ho! Pull the other one Keith.
Still, he is nothing but “dung ho”!
Bracey reveals: “Off to my allotment now to 'dig a little deeper'… as my hero 'The Digger' (Digby Jones) said – ‘you have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk.”
Sounds like Digby bullshit.

“None of my new-found 'green pals' (and no they are not a bunch of Irish aliens) can get their heads around nappy recycling and I have to assure them that it can be done.”
Mind you, seems Bracey has fallen out of Blarney love with the Big Dig.
The Digger is currently running around the country with the BBC playing Troubleshooter – once the preserve of Sir John Harvey-Jones.
“Digby is not a patch on the original 'Troubleshooter' of whom Lordy Lordy Jones is mere parody,” declares Bracey, a touch harshly.
“John Harvey-Jones was a larger character in all respects and never a politician, being too outspoken.
“The 'Diminutive Digby' is not a patch on him and his pithy views as 'The Digger' tries in all respects to 'mind his p's and q's' for fear of upsetting someone he might want a favour from in the future … n'est ce que pas?
“Cynical? Moi? What do you think?”
Phew!
So much for the Bracey/Digby show.
