Mean spirited post of the week

Alasdair Ross and Bridge Ward News have competition for partisan spite, and this time from a supposedly non partisan source. Ipswich Spy have come all guns blazing at a Social Action Day because it was picking up litter and wasn’t at a soup kitchen. As Ipswich Spy are supposed to be anonymous then we’ll have to assume that they were out manning the soup kitchens on Good Friday themselves barely leaving them to post five (yes, five) times on Good Friday.

Personally I didn’t take part in this because as a Catholic I tend to get all Sabbatarian on Good Friday and try to avoid anything that doesn’t make me a bit miserable. That’s why you got no blog posts yesterday However any other day of the year and I would have been out. These things are important. Only a Banksy buying Guardian reading Labour activist wouldn’t understand how dispiriting graffiti and litter are in their own street. And only that sort of person would think that taking care of the urban environment is not “truly worthwhile”.

EDIT: A keen eyed reader has pointed out that Ben actually has been helping with the soup kitchen (one occasion was on 28 October). So inaccurate as well as mean spirited.
