Many of them may have no problem at all with what she does, but having seen the enormous fuss made by the usual suspects in the media over that Lib Dem councillor who was a stripper. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it is hardly in the same category, and these people may have concluded that most voters wouldn't give a stuff, but who can blame them for thinking that the papers might not have taken such a broad minded outlook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-30716414058017278892007-09-22T17:43:00.000+01:002007-09-22T17:43:00.000+01:00She sounds repulsive.She sounds repulsive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-76269481208321635132007-09-22T17:18:00.000+01:002007-09-22T17:18:00.000+01:00Actually, I doubt if many people were motivated by...Actually, I doubt if many people were motivated by this. First, the resigning councillor had only been elected in May and emigrated to New Zealand, having not expected to get the visa. Secondly, after having originally supported fortnightly waste collections (the Labour Deputy Group Leader chaired the committee which recommended it) did a volte face and promised a return to weekly collections-for an impossible £400,000 cost of course! Usual Labour hypocrisy<BR/><BR/>Our people on the ground worked hard but frankly we also ran an unfocused campaign. The quality of our leaflets was disappointingly poor.<BR/><BR/>Since I'm up for re-election next May, and I'm a Cabinet member in Worcester, I intend to see we improve!Frankfranklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932680746691014954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-3565207493210924212007-09-22T17:14:00.000+01:002007-09-22T17:14:00.000+01:00Pardon me while I vomit.Pardon me while I vomit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-68592723976379939062007-09-22T15:41:00.000+01:002007-09-22T15:41:00.000+01:00Actually Iain, by properly researching this story ...Actually Iain, by properly researching this story you may have changed the course of UK history...<BR/><BR/>The nationals are using the massive swing against the Tories in Worcester (and the loss of the council) as a classic 'middle england' pointer towards a big Brown victory if he calls and election.<BR/><BR/>Instead, as you have found, this was all very local and very specific.
