It's elections here in 4 months, so if you suddenly can't get in your front door for Lib Dem Focus pamphlets, or the NWN letters page has you reaching for the recycling bin....here's a place to track who's saying what.
As an inaugural offering, here's Greenham's second most popular councillor Julian Swift-Hook. Turnout 41% in 2007, and the Tories are only 140 votes behind him. The story forgot to mention that this chap voted FOR the Sainsburys depot, but I'm glad he's had a recent epiphany on protecting the common

I've already said I enjoy debating with you, but in person I'd be able to provide you with supporting documentation to back up what I say. It would appear that like certain elected members, you take the Conservative Party leadership and all officers at face value without checking the merit of what they say. |

I've just started a blog called Newbury Politics, and it's on facebook and twitter too. Maybe the paper will let me blog for them too?
