Yesterday evening saw the first leaders’ debate on television and by and large the media is portraying Nick Clegg as the winner. I didn’t see the debate for reasons that are obvious below but spent a bit of time in work this morning calming down my colleagues about Nick Clegg (they’ve come to expect [...]

 Welcome to my blog. I am a former local journalist who now works in PR and a Conservative and community activist in Woking and Horsell. This blog will keep updated on local issues as well as my interests and quirky news stories.    |
I'd rather have the Royal Mail deliver for me than this lot I was stopped on the street the other day by someone who wanted to talk about the economy. “Do you know where the problem started?” he said. I started on about how the banks had mixed their High Street and investment [...] Labour’s manifesto yesterday gave a pretty clear message – we are tired and incompetent but we’ve got a few bottom-of-the-barrel ideas left to promise you that we haven’t got around to during our 13 years in government; and more to the point, aren’t you worried about what the Tories will do? I don’t feel it’s [...] There’s nothing better than a bit of politics when the sun’s shining, people are in and willing to talk and the parliamentary candidate is getting greeted on the street by people who recognise him from literature. But so it was this morning when we held an Action Day in Horsell for my campaign along [...] This is the defining image of the 2010 election One of the most interesting things about the totally inexplicable Labour poster is the way that the character of DCI Gene Hunt obviously means completely different things to different sectors of political opinion. I’ll say now that I don’t watch either Ashes to Ashes [...] No bodge job – David Cameron at B&Q today I think, just think, that they might have got it. After a good amount of faffing about, it looks like the Conservative leadership have grasped the fact that this election will be about five things. Those five things are the five seconds between when [...] It's Yoda from Star Wars – no, not really, it's Vince Cable Just a few words about Vince Cable. I watched the Chancellor’s debate the other evening and I’m not going to claim that George Osborne wiped the floor because he didn’t. But given that he was being ganged up on by both [...] During the past few weeks, I’ve encountered all sorts of nonsense about Jonathan Lord from Lib Dem campaigners and activists across the borough. It is quite normal that Lib Dem campaigns in areas where there is Conservative incumbency focus on current areas of discontent and supporting “Motherhood and Apple Pie” while at the same [...] Tom Miller I was taken aback to read such a personal attack of Woking’s Labour candidate Tom Miller by Spiderplant88 on her blog the other day. There really isn’t any need for such things and she followed up with another personal post about him soon afterwards. This is clearly what the Lib Dems [...] Time for a decisive, DC – what's it to be? It all seems as though it could go terribly wrong after a YouGov poll found that the PM was on course to claim another five years in power, something unimaginable even four weeks ago. DC gave his speech on Sunday in Brighton to [...] |
