Anti stadium politicians

Quoted from Maringer

I've no idea what the politicians in my ward (Haverstoe) think about the new stadium. Can anybody tell me if any of them are particularly pro or anti? I'll be voting after work.

Quoted from BIGChris

On the local scene and Park Ward in particular i see that Mr Defrietas is up to his old tricks again.

The day before the election, allowing no time for a response, he issued additional leaflets claiming the local labour candidate in his ward, non other than The Fishy's own Barralad is a 'plant' from the Trust to get the stadium plans through and a vote for Labour in Park Ward is a vote for a new stadium!

Now my knowledge of said Fishy member is that he has been a Labour party member for a lot longer than he has been Trust treasurer.

One thing it does say about Mr Defrietas is that he is running scared.

Make my day if DeF is ousted

Old tricks... or boxing clever ?
He has been in local politics quite a long while and knows how to play his hand.....not that i want him to win and agree with your final line but at the end of the day that ward's hottest topic is the stadium so to make progress you have to distract the voters onto something else current,
ie Why hasn't the current ward councillor done something pro active to prevent the gypsys constantly returning to the area rather than just issuing a move along notice every time they return?

I live on scartho top and DeFreitas was on my local councillor form

Quoted from Maringer

Not many of any party is the answer. They tend to get away with blue murder most of the time though the odd ones have been sent to prison for perjury.

Disagree with you about Gordon Brown's dishonesty as he wasn't too bad from what I remember (for a long-serving politician, that is). Call Me Dave, on the other hand... I'd check twice if he told me the sky was blue.  

Actually, it's nice not to have all the TV and radio banging on about the election campaign today. They aren't allowed to do much more than basic reporting on election day so it's pretty peaceful in comparison to the whirlwind of bullshit they've been putting out every 5 minutes for the past few months!

The only problem is that we've got weeks more of it to come if, as seems likely, there is another hung parliament.
