During the 1983 general election, I campaigned every single day with great zeal and avidity. I knocked on quite literally thousands of doors enquiring of people if we, the Labour party, could count on their support on 9 June. (...) I did all this with my hair spiked up in jagged tufts held in place by gallons of hairspray, and with a little bit of eyeliner and maybe a streak of blusher on my cheeks. My favoured shirt was fluorescent blue stripes on a pale blue background. My jeans were ripped at both knees. A pair of ragged Converse baseball boots and two badges – one promoting the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the other pledging my affection for a band called Cabaret Voltaire – completed my outfit. I reckon I must have singlehandedly lost my party a good 5,000 votes.
