Hazel Blears – a life in pictures

Guest contributions coming in hard and fast now. Today we have Tommy T from the excellent cyclebitch.blogspot.com. Check out his blog for a heady mixture of politics, cycling and some vaguely disturbing revelations concerning 'Chafe-Ease'. If you feel like contributing, send us no more than 500 words to hotrant@gmail.com. And now to everyone's favorite ginger, pint-sized, tap dancing, motorbike loving, free spending, resignation tending, politician:

Hazel Blears has begged the people of Salford for forgiveness. Apparently they have accepted it – which is moronic.

Hazel is said to be overjoyed, proving that no matter how much “rocking the boat” you do, 30 years of hard graft for the Labour Party cannot be overlooked.

And what a 30 years it has been…below are some highlights:


Picture 1: Hazel as a baby. Calm and serene. The love child of Arthur Scargill and one of the Biker Mice from Mars.


Picture 2: Hazel in her youth. Bushy tailed and bright eyed, she looked forward to a world where everyone shared their nuts with her.


Picture 3: Teenage Hazel. Rebelling against the Thatcher Government, Hazel became a shrewd tactician and starred in her own feature film.


Picture 4: Hazel today. This was taken just after she resigned from the cabinet on the day of the local elections. As you can see from the photo, she isn’t bitter or smug, just ready to go back to the grassroots - championing causes on behalf of the people of Salford.

In describing her recent Constituency meeting, Hazel said the following:

“It was good. Everyone expressed their views and were free to say what they felt.”

I can only imagine how fun that must have been.
