Read your post, couldn't argue with what you said though I find it hard to understand Council Housing being classed as 'charity', I always thought they came into being to cover the basic needs and rights for all to be housed in decent accommodation at a reasonable rent this I wouldn't class as charity.

It is a shame however as you rightly say that people abuse both the properties and the welfare system that ensures these things are available.

Surely in the hope of that plan coming to fruition, there is only one possible candidate to vote for, to ensure that happening?

Why?

As pointed out earlier, being influenced by much respected family members of differing political pursuassion, I look at who I think will be the best candidate at each different election, weighed against the policies of the party they represent. Which means in the past I've not always voted one particular way.

If a candidate inspired me, regardless of political colour, I'd give their candidacy consideration, and could very well be pursuaded to give them my X

The truth.

If you're unable to accept that fact, the problem isn't mine.

Re: Conservative candidate named.

In honour of Ms Buckley, I've wrote a poem:

There was a young lady from the Fylde
Whose views were exceedingly wild
In her quest for political glories
She was adopted by the local Tories
But not all of them were very happy
Including Britcliffe, an Oswaldtwistle Chappie
Now it looks like the winner will be Jones
And already we hear the opposition groans
As he is certain to take the seat
And his victory will be complete
So the lady will return to the coast
And the Tories will just be toast.

Good, innit! I think I should have been the poet laureate.

Re: Conservative candidate named.

this 'scans'
Our local tories are annoyed
their local choice is not employed
a woman from the coast is used
which causes them to feel abused

A former public schoolgirl, nicknamed Buckers,
At Queen Mary's hung out with some very rich muckers.
They all set off for the beach, but she slipped on a peach,
And she got laughed at by the assembled posh.................onlookers.
