The things they say

Something that really irritates me....

Whenever a parliamentary candidate is selected they invariably post a thank you message on social media and include the line "the hard work starts here."

For most marginal constituencies the hard work probably started decades ago, often before the new PPC was even born (and certainly before he/she had ever stepped foot in the town). And if the new PPC isn't elected, the hard work will continue after he/she has left for a safer seat.


I just think this phrase is very insulting (though almost certainly unintentionally so) to all those hard working volunteers who have spent a lifetime slogging away for no reward and little thanks to hear their new parliamentary candidate so easily and dismissively write off their past efforts.
