After writing my posting "A local candidate for local people" I remembered a story about Peter Tactchell and the Bermondsey by-election.
Tatchell's favourite spiel on the doorstep was:
"Hello, my name is Peter Tatchell and I am standing for Labour. I am a bit of a rebel, but you can trust me because I am from round here."
All went well until he met one old lady, who replied:
"Oh sorry, dear, no. I wouldn't trust anyone from round here."
