If anyone is embittered it is Cllr Worrow who follows a one item agenda and brands all who oppose him as homophobic or bigotted, whilst we should have concerns about a young man, fresh out of university, being fast tracked by his dad up the political ladder. That smacks more of nepotism than suitability. Surely even you can see that the lack of life experiences in our politicians, particular at Westminster level, has not served our counrty well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-11813475394983642632013-04-17T13:04:19.433+01:002013-04-17T13:04:19.433+01:00Really anon of 907 am.....please do disprove anyth...Really anon of 907 am.....please do disprove anything I have said..Chris Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022576946890382047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-59651341176048463632013-04-17T09:07:02.051+01:002013-04-17T09:07:02.051+01:00You really are an embittered and vitriolic has-bee...You really are an embittered and vitriolic has-been, which is sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-18722856207534724832013-04-14T22:34:06.511+01:002013-04-14T22:34:06.511+01:00Or were you talking about my response to hearing t...Or were you talking about my response to hearing that Cllr Worrow had endorsed Silver Spoon Scobie's candidature.........'should I fear a man without integrity endorsing a boy whose never had a proper job?'.

I have said elsewhere, if there is one thing the local labour party does well it is hypocrisy. In opposition they scream for transparency; in power they talk of transparency and make all decisions behind closed doors between themselves. In opposition they alk of disgraceful senior salaries; then appoint a new one at £90,000 a year, who leaves as soon as he knows he has to work solely for Clive Hart. In opposition they criticise allowance levels, then follow the lead of ole silver spoon as soon as he asks for 4.5 times the rise the staff have had. And adds that when the number of cllrs reduces those that remain should get an aditional 33%.<br /><br />Voters you have been warned; voting labour will damage your wealth, unless you are part of the welfare lifestyle choice tendency.
