Title: The candidate who never was.
Post by: Inspector Knacker on April 20, 2019, 04: PM
The candidates statements in the Mail tonight. All give their view except one.
Andrew Wildberg, no picture, no statement and carrying the label 'Independent'.

Even Cranney must realise voters in Foggy have seen through this scam......It really is time he was binned...once gone he should never be allowed backstage in the civic again.

I honestly hope the voters have, and I totally agree with you.

I don't think there's a photograph available online of him not showing his 'dodgy car-salesman' like sneer.

Andy Wildberg. OFCA.

I actually still expect Cranney to win mainly due to the forced split vote and largely oblivious electorate.

The new labour lot apparently have a plan for dealing with Cranney. I can't see them daring to try it though.

This is where not having a local paper asking questions let's us down badly. The Mail (R.I.P.) one time would have had a field day, but now it's just an echo chamber of the Gumbies, a rubber stamping of nothing of any consequence.
The happy clappy Life appears to see sunshine everywhere in a town where happiness reigns and everything is just soooooo positive.
We live in an information vacuum for those without social media.

How would they get him into the rocket though?

The Mail is basically nothing more than a local propaganda machine.

Proper investigative journalism just doesn't happen anymore.

It's a shame really, as it seems to be the main source of information locally, particularly for the older generation

How on earth anyone with connections to OFCA expects Foggy residents to vote for him is beyond me.......

They're relying on people being too thick to realise.
