Mel I have never been a Yes man,I am my own person in a Political group,I may not be as left as Keith,but then only Lenin and Stalin were left of Keith,I do what I can when I can for the people of my ward,the Town and the District.Most of what I or Cllrs do is not spread across the newspapers,but I am luckier than most as I have been able using non political skiils to get things done,and I also have many ideas and concerns and I am lucky enough to get this over to the public,and Peter yes I know the 3 cllrs who are independant but campaign for the Tories and may even be members!By the way Nigel and Charlie are friends of mine,but friends and politics don't mix sometimes.
It is ok someone returning to Labour but as Keith said about Ken who he says had his attempt to join the party turned down,I am not aware if that is correct,but any person standing has to go through a strict selection process.
