Ella Philips, 29, was thrown off her bike in Kentish Town, North London,
when she was forced to make an emergency stop. "The back wheel flipped
over, and the next thing I knew my face was hurtling towards the
ground," she told the Camden New Journal ... "There was Ed Miliband's
face looking very concerned at me. I started to wonder how badly I'd
banged my head..."
...
Ms Phillips, who was riding to the October Gallery in Central London
where she works as an education coordinator, feared that she had
suffered concussion but escaped with a fractured arm. She said she had
no idea how the Labour leader, who lives nearby in Primrose Hill, came
to be at the scene of the crash last Thursday. "I don't know if he was
in his car and stopped it to get out, or was walking close by," she
said. "But wherever he came from, he disappeared just as fast. He
literally disappeared into thin air once I was OK."

The poor young lady was clearly hallucinating as a result of her injury,
and I do hope she doesn't do it again. Next time she might conjure up
Tony Blair.

Much the same, the two of them. Bring back Screaming Lord Sutch, that's
what I say.

That's twice this month you've mentioned him! Have you seen _Slade In
Flame_? Apparently the "stuck in the coffin" scene near the beginning
is based on something that happened to Sutch during his pre-political
career.

One has to consider whether the threat of Labour and Ed Millliband coming
to your aid if you don't wear a helmet would be equivalent to compulsory
helmet legislation.

Sorry to repeat myself! But if only there was somebody worth voting
for...

No, I haven't seen that - I'll look out for it.

That was not a complaint!

It's a blast (IMHO). But I like Slade anyway.

There is a brief reference to that incident here:

And just over a month ago this photo of him astride a bicycle that is
a little too little sold for not much zbarl:

OK! I'm not sure I get the Satanic-Masonic connections, but what the
heck.
