While Einy Shah is in the news (recap: joined City Hall via the Lib Dems, moved to Boris’s reprieved Mayor’s Peer Outreach team, now seen in the front row at Tory events to show how putting dim obsessive 19 year olds in the public eye represents a commitment to the whole country, or something) here’s a taster of her contributions to political life in London, just in case she’s forced to delete them again. The typos are genuine, by the way. I blame Tony Blair:
- ‘You’re half-witted, ill advised tosser…’
- ‘I’m pretty sick of your empty threats’
- ‘…demented half-witted, one-legged, no-sensed man’
- ‘you keep trying wet the appatites of your loyal fan-base…’
- ‘You’re middle aged – t’s all over for you’
- ‘You need a fucking lfe’
- ‘you really don’t have the intelligence to not associate me with anyone’
- ‘You’re a cock’
- ‘Oh, do fuck off and go get a proper job.’
- ‘Your post will be futile, the big cheese likes me’
I wonder what big cheese she could mean? Surely not the one who chose to hang around with Ray Lewis, Ian Clement, Andrew Gilligan and Darius Guppy? I’d be a bit worried if that particular big cheese liked me.
The icing on the cake was this comment left here:
- ‘If we weren’t in the middle of an election campaign, I’d give you one heck of an answer for this mind-blowingly, nonsensical, tedious post. I must restrain.’
She is only 19, of course, and I’m sure we should all make allowance for youth here. After all, the MPOT page does say that the team can help if…
…you’d like talk to someone your own age rather than a grown-up.
Quite a lot of growing up left to do there, I think.
P.S. Apparently I shouldn’t tell you that Einy is working on Boris’s brother’s election campaign in Orpington. So I’d better keep that quiet, although possibly not as quiet as the campaign has gone, according to the Standard.
Orpington hopeful Jo Johnson, another of the Tories’ many Old Etonian candidates and younger brother of Mayor Boris, has also gone to ground. “I’m planning on sticking with shoe leather and with the local media in Bromley,” he tells me in response to media requests.
Perhaps they just can’t get the staff?

Or, for the classicists among us, “Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet…”
Ellie Gellard is “only” 20 but she manages to be coherent and rather more mature. Hmm.
Blimey, 19-year-olds aren’t considered grown-ups these days? In that case, they certainly don’t deserve the vote or the right to buy knives, alcohol, etc. Maybe we should extend the age to ooh, 30? That’s middle-aged, isn’t it?
“Or, for the classicists among us, “Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet…””
Or for the mathematicians amongst us:
“I have discovered a truly marvelous proof that it is impossible to separate a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into two fourth powers, or in general, any power higher than the second into two like powers. This margin is too narrow to contain it.”
Yes, the same thought occurred to me, but I don’t have the Latin. Two maths A-levels, though, which I’m not sure Einy does, even though she has a fascination with powers.
Einy Shah innit. You sound as though you have tory written through you like a stick of fake Burberry rock, ju get me yeah innit?
I hope there’s no major currie scenario going on at the mayors office.
Einy, Meanie, Minie, Mo – how does Boris’s selection go?
It’s good to see Boris entering into ‘equal opportunities’ and giving some of the ‘great ignored’ some time to display their inadequacies.
So what does Einy do again? Translate Boris dribble into ‘yoof speak’ so he can get his message across?
…I also know some Latin – is this relevant?
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
I am 19 and willing to sell my soul to get into politics.
Can I has job please?
Seriously though, Einy is representative of most people in my age group who are active in politics. Incoherent, rude and slavishly loyal.
I was going to vote in my home constituency, but after the CF campaign at University, I’ve registered to vote there instead, even though I hate the sitting MP, I’ll be damned if he gets ousted by people who responded to the revelation I came from up North with “But, if you’re poor, what are you doing here?”
I’ll give them this; they certainly know how to get out the vote…
for Labour.
I am not 19, I don’t have a soul and am not a good enough a fibber to be embroiled in politics!
I must admit that I havent followed the exploits of this girl, but is she really as half witted as she appears, or is it just an act like to deflect criticism?
This hero worship complex she seems to have towards the ‘Tory Elite’ is a bit disturbing for someone of 19.
“This hero worship complex she seems to have towards the ‘Tory Elite’ is a bit disturbing for someone of 19.”
It does make you consider reaching for a psychiatrist, but from memory teenage girls do a lot of silly things, and attaching violent emotions to member of the opposite sex sort of goes with the territory. A lot of Mark Bolan posters got sold back in the 70s for much the same reasons.
“attaching violent emotions to member of the opposite sex sort of goes with the territory”
Sorry, I’m a bit confused by this one and wondering if I missed something. She comes across as a female, right wing, Citizen Smith replacing Che Guevara with the shadow cabinet. As funny as the series was, I doubt that most people would call Wolfie well adjusted. Just wondering where violent opposite sex came from in your reply??
I’m not going to get started on the “from memory teenage girls do a lot of silly things” I still remember an ex at university having a poster of Pamella Anderson on his wall, even when I stayed over.
The elephant in the room is that she is obviously a tory rent-an-ethnic. A “journalist” that cannot spell or use grammar. Her vocabulary is comedic – she clearly uses words she does not understand.
On top of that, she genuinely does not understand policies she “supports”.
[...] Maybe if Joe’d included that particular ditty in his set the tiny number of youngsters present could’ve been persuaded to sing along with such a yoof-centred number, especially as the old-fashioned fist-fight has been endorsed by the favourite teen spokesperson of both Boris and Jo Johnson, Einy Shah.
