    Yep, I'll stand.

    Fish and chips washed down with Timothy Taylor's.

    A true party.

    But in politics you always have to look for votes for self interest: so in this case are you voting for "park" just because you beat the missus round a "park" run ( i.e. she was nice enough to let you win! )???

    The trouble is Witton has enough opinions to actually want to try to DO something. And that for politicians is always dangerous, if not terminal. Because doing is when it all goes disastrously wrong.
    Much safer they just talk not act, and take bites out of each other than try to actually change anything!!!

    So witton is far too reasonable to be allowed anywhere near the levers of control. The danger is someone might believe him and actually try to do it! Politicians who specialise in rudeness over reasonable are always safer pairs of hands, because they can safely be relied upon to do nothing of any consequence!

    Anyway. To quote the anarchist mantra " if voting changed anything, they would abolish it".

    Giving the people a vote on important things is utterly crazy quite obviously - Brexit being an excellent example

    I will not be drawn! I just superglued my fingers together to stop me replying....

    It was a politician doing something by joining EU that caused the problem. Just look at how hard it is to undo such stupidity, when politicians do things! Far better they only talked about joining.

    Don't worry, once Comrade Corbyn gets in I doubt we will get the opportunity to vote again. Unless of course it is to endorse the Party candidate.

    We were the first vote this morning in Wildboarclough. I was pleased to beat the rush.
