And there you were only a few posts ago making your sarcastic snipes at MC, having posted this previously: I find the sniping and unfair criticism levelled on this website at unpaid public servants, quite reprehensible. When such behaviour is carried out from beneath a cloak of anonymity, I consider it also cowardly. LibDem speaks with forked tongue shock.   Oh well there goes my tactical ...

The trouble is most people will happily sign a petition without digging deeper into the politics of it.  It will be interesting to see how many of those that did sign the petition will put their X next to a Lib Dem candidate.

Sorry, I misread it in the first place for Lowther, Petherick and Petherick.  You were right to be confused.

On the other hand Lynne, Gregory Fenne's regular absence could be to your advantage.   Out of the last 12 planning meetings here's the attendance of those standing: Almond 11 Bloomfield 7 G Fenne 2 M Lowther 6 R Prowse 8 L Petherick 2 J Petherick 3

At that particular meeting the Shutterton plans, Warren Farm and Mr Nance's Statue of Happiness were all discussed, all of ...

Who can vote at the meetings? Looking at the minutes of the Town Council meeting on this barn conversion appeal: Those present: Cllrs Vickery, Bloomfield, Almond, M Lowther, Prowse, Others present: Clemens, Clayson (as Clerk) Absent: Fenne, Swift. If Mary Lowther couldn't vote, who did?  The minutes say that it was resolved on the casting vote of the Chairman so was there a split ...

As they say, it doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.  I've distilled it down to one issue.   Politically and economically I don't believe that slashing public spending is the answer.  Reducing yes but not to the level of seizing up the economy (and I've shifted from right to left on that).  And if the Tories get re-elected there will be bigger cuts to come.   However I ...
