A man in a jumper sits in a large armchair in a very traditionally decorated large semi-detached house. He’s reading the Evening Mail, he has it open on his lap and we can read the headline ‘Poor Ukip performance in Birmingham’.
His wife is carrying one cup of tea — in a cup and saucer — towards him.
He says: “it seems Birmingham decided it already had enough fruitcakes and loonies on the council.”
Then everyone retweets it as it “nails it”.

Jon was voted the ‘14th Most Influential Person in the West Midlands’ in 2008. Subsequently he has not been placed. He’s been a football referee, venetian blind maker, cellar man, and a losing Labour council candidate: “No, no chance. A complete no-hoper” said a spoilt ballot. Jon wrote and directed the first ever piece of drama performed on Twitter when he persuaded a cast including MPs and journalists to give over their timelines to perform Twitpanto. But all that is behind him.
