Following up on the battle of Independent Newspapers versus News Corps, my attention turns to that other bastion of British journalism and pillar of intellectual rigour – The Kemptown Rag. Top of their home page at the moment is a wee story on John Prescott stopping by Kemptown on the ‘battle bus’, meeting Kemptown Labour candidate Simon Burgess and having tea in Tea Cosy.
Hope Simon Burgess had eaten before hand as he wouldn’t have got a sniff of the scones and Victoria sponge with Prezza for company.
Don’t know when this cosy tea party took place as there’s no date on the piece. Must have been when I was out of town as I’m sure I’d have heard the lip smacking and juddering jowls otherwise.
[And according to some tweet or other I read, and whose location I've long since forgotten, the Tea Cosy also recieved a request from the Conservative Party HQ for David Cameron to pay a visit . What does this underwhelming tea shop have that the political movers and shakers want a slice of (apart from the obvious lemon drizzle cake)? Don't know whether it happened - probably not judging by the Labour Party supporting picture in the window.]
