Barclay canvassing.

Quote from mk1

"The merde is flying thick and fast and unfortunately both sides are telling huge porkies about the other"

It's at times like this you realise how big a loss the council nursery is

Disgusted enough to return his sold gold medals ?

Let's get it straight, they ain't medals as I know them. They're badges off his chums for just being there. Despite what they allegedly cost they're utterly worthless.
The biggest joke is he got two.

[Inspector Knacker]

After all that's come out and the clumsy contortions we're witnessing, he just doesn't get it. And never will.

I was thinking today seeing the queues outside the chip shops.
I bet less than 1% know the significance of what they were doing and equally have never been in a Church.

With the same blind ignorance they vote Labour.

That's a great analogy of politics in Hartlepool. I've always been bemused by them stood in massive queues to buy something they can buy every other day with much less hassle because they've always done it and it's traditional.

There's a Funfair on the Catty Road field a few shows and car boot stalls a burger van etc......I live round the corner and noticed when I passed that Barclay and his pet leaflet delivery assistant were in attendance........ Talk about clutching at straws.

Psychic readings? Seeing what's foretold for the May elections?

I'm curious to know which candidates have actually bothered to post literature and speak to local people in the various wards....

I know that in my ward (fens/rossmere), the only literature I have received was from Peter Joyce, and he was knocking on doors by himself and speaking to people directly. This kind of effort goes a long way towards convincing me how much conviction a candidate has, and in that vein of thought, I think it would be beneficial for people to share what's occurring in their own wards.

Basically,, who is serious, and who is not....

Can they specify just what the  'good causes' are exactly?
Some definition would help.
Also, did they have permission to use the field for this purpose and were residents consulted beforehand?
Can any individual or group now use it for similar purposes, as a precedence has now been set?
Any idea how many Labour Councillors attended this event for a rival competing Party member?

I passed the field again around 2pm.......Barclay was obviously practicing for his new job..... A black bag and a picky up stick was evident, it looked as though he has done it before.

It's a clever trick were he pretends to clean rubbish, so he can check discarded beer cans for dregs.

Should Labour Councillors be attending an event for a 'poitician' (I use the word in it's very loosest sense) who is standing against the Labour Party candidate for a rival Party in upcoming elections?

[mk1]

I note the local Labour Group has lifted Steve's original report (CAB saying Brash and Hargreaves should seek re-election after leaving the Labour Party)and is using his own words to attack Hartlepool's First Couple. You would think they would at least mention who did the heavy lifting for them.
I thought they never read these pages so how did they get the lead?
