Public Debate in Holt

Just got back from a debate with the Labour PPC Phil Harris at Holt. About 50 people turned up, which was somewhat of a relief as I was dreading addressing three men and a dog! A huge range of questions and a very enjoyable evening. We debated for nearly two hours. Very friendly and unconfrontational. Next Friday we're at North Walsham Community Centre at 7pm.

Hi! What sort of things did you talk about or what questions came up- and who chairs meetings like this?

It was chaired by a local JP, Tony Williams. The next few debates will be chaired by Richard Lawson from North Norfolk Radio. The questions were very varied - pensions, waste, Iraq, Blair/Brown etc.

Three men and a dog? why do you assume that women won't turn up to listen to you. Is it because they have too much sense?

That is so funny. You really should be on the stage.
