IT'S been almost five months since Adrian Hardman was done for drink driving and dramatically quit as Worcestershire County Council's leader, but the cops clearly haven't forgotten.

The police have pulled over County Hall Lib Dem Fran Oborski not once, but twice in recent days for "driving too slow" - embarrassingly choosing to breathalyse her on both occasions, which of course showed up clean.

Fearing an unwanted hat-trick, Councillor Oborski isn't taking this with too much humour on Twitter, telling her followers how "angry" she is over it.

Forget Operation Elveden, is this Operation Nick a Councillor?

  • NIGEL Farage was treated like a God in Worcester last week, enjoying the lavish attention of a packed 'anti-EU' audience at New Road cricket ground, but it's good to see those around him aren't getting carried away.

Peter Jewell, UKIP's police and crime commissioner candidate for West Mercia, introduced him by saying: "This man should be, at the very least, knighted for what has happened."

  • DAVID Cameron spent over £9 million on those leaflets shoved through every UK home about pro-EU propaganda, so what did Farage do with his?

"I went straight up Downing Street and posted it right back through his bloody front door," he tells us.

  • MIND you despite the worship-like attention he got in Worcester, Farage (after a pint) did also tell us his standing with some world media tycoons and politicians could be better.

"I've never been to any of Silvio Berlusconi's 'bunga bunga' parties, alright? But there's a reason for that - he never invited me."

  • A NEW police and crime commissioner is being announced today, but if Peter Jewell does pull off a UKIP miracle and wins, he better get a map pronto.

The ex-tribunal judge plastered glorious adverts all over a free weekly newspaper in Worcester last week - telling eager readers how he'd cut crime in Shropshire!

  • ON the subject of maps, it isn't only the odd would-be PCC in need of gentle steering in the right direction.

Former pub landlord Barry MacGabhann, trying to get elected to the Cathedral ward for the Tories, used his Worcester News election address to gush over the improvements to Gheluvelt Park as yet another reason to make the patch "an even better place in which to live".

Unless a volcano has struck, it sure as heck ain't in Cathedral.

  • AS we reveal today, Labour activist Ali Asghar has been spotted helping Worcester's Green Party in a hilarious bit of election plotting.

Can someone knit him a green and red stripey scarf?
