The Conservatives have made a lot of promises in the run up to the election, the biggest lies probably being the referendums on electoral reform and on the EU, neither of which will now happen.
Mind you, give them credit for thinking big. The best argument for voting Tory that the local party could come up with was a leaflet showing their candidates hugging a grit bin. We had a good laugh about that, partly because it was Tory council and county council that failed to prepare for last winter but mainly because Britcliffe tried to make out that it was Labour's fault.
Ever the politician, even his own mistakes are the fault of the opposition.
