    Hi ken it will be a cold day in hell befire i become a tory. Do you honestly think the tories or the labour party would let us join there ranks. I spent most of my younger days going through the thatcher period and it was not pleasent. With us you get what you see and i don’t think your looking close enough.

    Well Ian its seems Im discredited by association. I might have to think about what I write on your blog mis-interpretation can spread wild rumours. Just to clarify to Ken I am a Liberal Democrat who is not tied to national party lines but to the will of the people who elected me. I know the events of the last week have all the hall marks of Punch and Judy politics but all I can say is hate the game dont hate the players. I was wondering if you think Cllr Antrobus will join the Cllr Martin O’Neill fan club I hear he has taken an interest in my work, I’d be happy to show him round the ward and the work I have done.
