Congratulations UKIP

I think you know fine WELL(s) there was little point in approaching the Tories.

That isn't true as you well know, David.

There isn't a Tory Party in Hartlepool, there is of course the Wells Family + srmoore & from what I can see the friends of west park have now realised what they actually get from the TorLab coalition party.

There are many, many people who would and do disagree with you Brassed off Monkey.

Shane, there was never a chance of any 'stand downs', I'd say the number of fairly obvious paper candidates is evidence of that. Ray would have put up his pet goldfish as a candidate if it was allowed...

There are plenty of Tories in Hartlepool; it's just that there aren't any Tory councillors. For example, normally you would expect a typical Tory to be horrified at the thought of a pub in a cemetery but Wells will vote with Labour tonight.

Well you got that one right, Steve. The attempt to get the council to voluntarily give up the license was voted down by the Labour/Tory coalition to a man.
