Full marks to Hove Tory Parliamentary candidate Nicholas Boles for his innovative introduction.

If nothing else, his postcard has won him a half-page of coverage in the local paper plus a photo - not a bad start.

Why not show you are not as prejudiced against him as your rather churlish article appeared to demonstrate by giving him a column in your newspaper to air his views?

After all, if he is such a plonker as to send out thousands of introductory postcards to residents, he can't be too much of a threat to the present incumbent of Hove constituency.

What's so wrong with Marks & Spencer anyway? It's a successful store that sells good clothes at reasonable prices. Our Prime Minister probably shops there.

Why can't an MP be trendy? I wish Mr Boles well in his endeavours. He's made a good start.
