He was mostly chatting to the locals ... Joy had roped in a load of the local councilors to sweep and litter pick though ... Which was good to see!
The best bit was when a bunch of rough looking youths came wondering round the corner, I half expects them to shout abuse ... One went "oi that ed milliband" and they all just walked past, thumbs up to him "alright ed", alright
mate" etc ... "alright lads" he says back ... Not much of an anecdote now I write it down, but at the time I suppose it made me feel a **** thinking anything else might happen!
Im not one for politicians normally, and I've always though ed sseemed a bit dry on tv, but I was quite impressed in real life ... He seemed genuinely interested in people and actually quite like a normal bloke! And he remembered Hannah's gran when I mentioned her to him as being readings longest standing member of the party...
Most enjoyable evening it was!
