14:0580865the first shot has been fired in the by-election on the 16th december.
a leaflet from the blues has come through my letterbox, the candidate is none other than forum member pat sherratt.
i believe that gordon cowan will be standing for the reds, will have to wait and see who else stands.

john has told everyone who labour will be putting forward for all 3 council seats

i'm retiring
vic matcham

but that will have to b e confirmed by UKIP

16:2780880Yes I was just going to comment on that too Roger...Vic is clearly trying a scattergun approach but its not generally considered to be a good move doing that. But lets see how it pans out. If enthusiasm ruled Vic would certainly win.. but it is the wider view with a combination of harmony with the voter and local political knowledge and support that wins the day.
Well very interesting to hear that Howard re your leaflet. As a fellow forumite we must wish Pat Sherratt a good campaign. He is certainly a man active in the community. But no doubt Pat will come on and tell us more.
Gordon Cowan as ever is a very good candidate.

17:2880914Now that so much on spending cuts is bearing down on us, with Councils poised to lay off staff and cut services, I think we can say that we could do with some new Councillors, people who have a different outlook, and who cannot be held responsible for the devastating situation re. spending that the Councils have got into.
UKIP clearly show great interest in working out where the other parties slipped up, and leading us forward and out of the economic downfall.

19:1480930I'm staying out of this discussion. All the candidates are customers of Blakes! Except the BNP candidate, anyone know his number?

You have stated elsewhere on the internet that you will be standing for Parish, Town and District. Another member of UKIP (Dover Branch) has also stated that he will be standing in Castle Ward. Now thats how we know that UKIP are putting a candidate up.
Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

20:2180948the plot thickens, will the legendary vic be standing independently?
incidentally stewart, after the leaflet arrived someone about your stamp clambered into a getaway car and the driver went off like steve mcqueen in "bullitt".
