AFTER a swift visit from the cops, ex-BNP organiser Carl Mason has denied plastering Worcester with offensive stickers bizarrely linking the Labour Party to paedophiles - but does he protest too much?

He went and told Her Majesty's finest that despite knowing not one jot about how they got there, he did print off "around 2,000" to sell on.

But hang on - we've seen many Worcester lampposts sporting these weird labels but nothing like this mystical 2K.

Are the other 1,967 sitting in some poor chuck's attic?

* COUNTY Hall welcomes in all sorts of powerful figures on a regular basis, from newspaper editors to potential investors - but it is not the place for those with loose bowels.

Several people, including high and mighty politicians have pointed to the awful, growing stench in the men's toilets in recent months - which is now so bad it stings the back of your tongue.

Talk about taking the urinal.

* SPORTING pain is a familiar theme for many of Worcestershire's politicians, with plenty of them following the likes of Aston Villa, Birmingham City and even Sunderland - but spare a thought for rugby fanatic Lucy Hodgson.

Like so many other councillors the Tory has a Worcester Warriors season ticket, but for various reasons missed the team's early couple of Premiership wins before the sour period hit.

The first victory she actually witnessed this season was the 'M5 derby' win over Gloucester two weeks back - a whopping six months after the campaign started.

* FORMER Worcester Mayor David Tibbutt quit the city council in 2014, saying he was looking forward to "spending time on other things" - yet a mere two years later he's been lured into standing again.

As this picture shows, he must be flippin' mad.

* ANYONE in the media will tell you we've already seen enough Brexit polls to last a lifetime, but two did catch the eye this week.

One suggests a quarter of undecided voters would say 'yes' to staying in the EU, no questions asked, if it guaranteed a mere £4 a month extra in their pay packet.

Yet even more eye-opening, another poll reckons three per cent of UKIP voters, yes UKIP voters, think we should stay in.

Both surveys must have contacted the same people, in between taking their medication.

* POLITICS has truly been turned on its head in the last couple of weeks, with Labour worried about a black hole in the nation's finances but even more oddly, the acutely anti-tax Tory John Redwood saying a Brexit would 'banish UK austerity'.

It's certainly got some of our MPs walking the Common's corridors in a state of incredulity.

"I've said to some MPs in the Commons tea room 'I always knew John Redwood was a Tory 'wet'," jokes Worcester MP Robin Walker.
