Sadly, for those wanting more information, it's just a facsimile of what's already on her website.

Great Aunt Fanny worked down t'local jam butty mines, and lots about Family Values, blah, blah, blah...

Must have cost a pretty penny to do though. So things can't be that bad.

Rossendale Free Press won't put a leaflet in with only two wards being in the Hyndburn constituency, I know I asked them 10 years ago Jen

They'll do anything you want if you pay them.

Which Ms. Buckley will have done, to have her flyer distributed in the newspaper.

Not quite. They won't sort it so that the leaflet is only in the papers in the two relevant wards. Yes, you can have a leaflet in and it costs (a lot) but it's all or nothing.

I should have read your post before replying to Garinda, Gayle

I was referring to Ms. Buckley's flyer, and the fact she'd have paid to have it inserted.

I'm quite aware that it wouldn't be economically viable, even if it was possible, which I doubt, to target particular council wards, rather than a whole constituency.

Its only applicable to the 2 Haslingden wards Garinda covered by the Free Press, Hyndburn is okay with the Observer, but to be quite honest inserts in papers is a very costly way of comunicacion

Er...I was only referring to Ms. Buckley's flyer, and that it would have been done at some cost.

I made no mention of the same thing being done for wards, when it came to council elections.

Personally, even if it was possible, to deliver newspapers with flyers, to each newsagent/shop in a particular ward, it wouldn't reach many of the relevant electorate. Those newagents in a ward, if they deliver, cover areas greater than any one ward. Plus many people pick up a newspaper whilst out shopping in areas outside their ward's boundary.

Therefore, rather a daft, costly idea, in my opinion.

Which just goes to show that even though the begging bowl has yet to have one contribution in it, (as indicated by the thermometer), She or one of her aides is quite prepared to spend money they don't have on an item that isn't a very practical way of reaching constituents.


Oooh look, rindy seems to agree with me.

Re: Conservative candidate named.

Personally I'd be making friends with all the Indian/Chinese/ Pizza takeaway proprietors...and getting them to deliver flyers with the thousands of menus that land on our door mats every single day.

Perhaps she's a member of the Viv Nicholson school of economics.

Spend, spend, spend, and to Hell with the consequences.

I still think it's all a little odd.

The day the imposed list of six candidates was announced, a 'Karen Buckley' joined the forum, and was reading the thread about the imposed list.

(If I hadn't seen her reading the thread, we wouldn't know she's a member of Accy Web. As not having posted, she doesn't merit inclusion on the members list.)

If she bothered to join then, why has she not since made use of this forum, to get her mesage out to the electorate?

With apparently so little support, both personally and financially, from the local Conservative Association, it seems strange she has so far chosen not to make use of this free medium....Accy Web.
