Re: Happy families
 

And we certainly don't want that Cashy!

Re: Happy families
 

im merely specualting and besides if saying what i think could have happened or saying somat aint right costs me every penny i have all i can advise anyone wishing to sue me is enjoy yer trip to poundland and take a bit with ya incase you aint got enough to pay for what you get with your winings

someones done it the only thing remaining is to find out who and if it isnt claire then whoever did it is in a lot deeper water than what they hoped to dish out.If claire has done it then the police and her party will do what is expected especially as it is in the media now which regardless of guilt or innocence will effect her chances a teh election

Re: Happy families
 

I suspect neither of ems responsible fer this accyman, but can't see it. ps,this is being read now i'd forgot the username its been that long since. lol

Re: Happy families
 

whatever or whoever the timing for this to come to light couldnt be better

the reason why its easy to assume foul play is by the previous actions on this forum alone of councilors bickering and sniping at each other or running to the press with half baked accusations and halve truths..

cant say iv witnessed this behaviour from clair on here but i certainly recall a couple that have wether using their real name or an alias

the thing is even them with a dodgy reputation lets say for arguments sake can be quite good on a 1 to 1 basis and helpfull to teh people who call upon them and do seem to have a genuine care for tehir area its just this constant need or desire some of them have to destroy the opposition at whatever cost even if it ends up with them getting egg on tehir face when it backfires that makes people wonder what the hell these people are doing in any position of power

I doubt he would be allowed near those postal votes, more that likely a council employee has noticed an irregularity and brought it to his attention. But he still wouldn't be allowed near those ballot papers.
Why are they being opened before polling day ?, and whose responsible for security ?.

Re: Happy families
 

I don't think it is to do with postal votes. It seems there are people registered to Claire Pritchards address that should not be.....they should be registered in other wards.
This is not to say that SHE registered those people to vote in her ward...or that she has anything at all to do with the registration.

Anyway, it is being investigated.....and rightly so, but as in all situations of this nature it reflects badly even if she has no case to answer.

Re: Happy families
 

Thats exactly why i suspect "Foul Play"

Re: Happy families
 

Have to agree Margaret and thinking about it we all have access to the electoral rolls so maybe some third party brought MP's attention to the anomalies?
All will come out in the wash I hope.

Re: Happy families
 

As these two are the only candidates standing in my ward it does make me think twice about whether it's worth walking round to the polling station to vote - neither fills me with any confidence & this latest charade doesn't help one bit :rolleyes:

Re: Happy families
 

Well , if neither fills you with any confidence , don't vote .

It should be a simple decision for you if neither fills you with any confidence .

Re: Happy families
 

What are we calling this, by the way, Claregate or Pritchardgate?;)

Re: Happy families
 

True, but my grandma always said that i should always make sure i used my vote & i know she'd be so cross if i just didn't bother - question is, would she want me to vote just for the sake of it???

Re: Happy families
 

If you have a valid reason for not voting, such as a serious lack of trust in the candidate then voting for someone you do not trust, is not the right thing to do.

I vote according to my conscience, not what someone else(whoever that may be) would think of me.

Re: Happy families
 

I know what you're saying makes sense Margaret, & if my grandma was still with us she'd probably agree with you too - maybe I'll have a toddle round to the polling station & just use my vote for the European elections then i will have at least used one of my votes
