21 April (Part 1) - Promises, promises
One of
Anna Firth’s (Conservative Election Candidate, Erith & Thamesmead) early ‘Campaigns’ was for
a better train service. Sort it Southeastern she called it. Well good luck with that!
Anna’s campaigning partners at the time were councillor Philip Read and Amandeep
Singh Bhogal before he was whisked away to Northern Ireland to be the
Tory Candidate for Upper Bann and for his 15 minutes of fame
making a monkey of Ed Miliband.
Amandeep has form for claiming to be able to improve train services, he was doing
the same four years ago, got his name in the papers for it, the much missed Bexleyheath Chronicle.
The Bexleyheath Chronicle wasn’t afraid to kick back at Bexley councillors and their friends;
when they received critical letters they tended to publish them. Like this one.
Steve
Smith was pretty sure that Amandeep’s campaign was all hot air. If electoral
promises were not all hot air we would all be living in a much better place by now.
I am still in dithering mode. I had been swinging towards Anna to keep the SNP
at bay and then drifting away again and
this morning’s Twitter post
from Anna confirmed I was right to do so. (See image.)
The Chronicle also carried a letter from councillor Philip Read complaining that
Teresa Pearce had missed a vote in the Commons. The paper’s Editor added a
footnote to explain that Teresa had a prior engagement. It had been
reported on Bonkers three months earlier.
Read could have asked Teresa at a constituency event, where they were both
present but he did not. I referred to Read as a piece
of filth following his repeated personal attacks in the council chamber, he should never
have been elected as a councillor, let alone be in charge of a department
that has failed the borough’s children so comprehensively.
What sort of low life petty minded s*** writes to the newspaper
about an MP missing a vote anyway?
Sorry Anna, but I really cannot vote for someone who is influenced by such a nasty piece of work as councillor Philip Read.
