Wow she has personal endorsements from David Kidney and Tom Watson. Enough to put anyone off voting for her...
Mind you, non of the others are worth voting for either, so she's hardly at a disadvantage in that respect.
what did Tom Watson do to you?
I had thought he and Skinner and Margaret Hodge were the last three reasonable people left in the 'House'

I'd love to say I support Kate on this but I don't know what 'this' is! All I can gather from the newsletter is that someone doesnt seem to like women and someone else seems to resent their colleague being done for fraud.

I've settled on voting SNP
Cameron is a c*nt
Miliband is ignorant
Clegg is dead
Green is a waste
Ukip shows you are ignorant
Single issues are a lost cause
Independents haven't appeared
Wimfukt

As things stand I'll be voting green, but only because they're the least c*ntish that I could tolerate. I know they won't win, but the only ones who can win are utter c*nts so I'd never vote for them anyway. I could draw a cock again, but I'd like to encourage people to stand and cocks don't encourage that.
If everyone who didn't vote because it's pointless voted for the same party it'd be a landslide.

Enjoying a drop of red.
Not a description often used to describe Mike Shone I should imagine.

I'm talking party not candidate, most politicians at that level are utter c*nts anyway. A career politician is after a promotion, nothing more. They are as likely to serve your interests over their own as they are to pay their own expenses.

Five hundred quid - you get it back if you get 5% of the votes cast.

Turnout last time was 50, 209, so 5% of that would have been 2,511.

The problem is that people get angry at national politics and forget that their vote only counts locally. Good local MPs lose seats despite years of good work and bad local MPs keep seats in comfortable areas despite years of self service and expense fraud. And yes, I am thinking of local examples.
If my vote counted nationally, I might go green. As it doesn't, and I'm not a Dan of the local Greens, I'll probably go Labout

A great chap. He once gave me a £1,000,000 note.
I used to work with John Dougrez-Lewis, he used to get irate when members of the pressed phoned him up. It was hilarious when he shouted down across the office wrong number, prank call.

First Stafford Green councillor started as a thorn in the side for LibLabCons then sold out to freemasons and has rarely gone to meetings or done anything since.
There was no misunderstanding. He had been claiming benefits for three years when he should not have.

No misunderstanding with the council leader either, he was guilty. Being too stupid to understand the requirements of your own job is not a valid legal defence, for most people anyway!
