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.
One of the differences between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives is that Conservatives want to transform the country whereas Lib Dems always seem to want to change the world.
That’s fine but it does rather beg the question of where the focus of that party and its members lies. Take Cllr Olly Wells of Knaphill for example, who was behind the whole lowering the flag for Aung San Suu Kyi nonsense, which inspired two separate entries on his blog. This week, he’s slightly closer to home in the Artic circle with Greenpeace (complete with links to The Guardian) – all very well, but not really focussing on the needs of Woking or Knaphill.
Conservatives understand that in order to effect change you have to be systematic and focussed on meaningful objectives. Liberals have their heads in the clouds rather than ear to the ground. That’s fine for a pressure group but potentially disastrous in a supposed party of government.
