  Keith I am quite surprised to find you are no longer a fully paid up member of the Labour Party, a classic lighthearted example of not puuttting your money where your mouth is.
  Your concern of your perceived memories of what I may or maynot have done in the past is quite irrellevent, what you should be concerned about is what I intend doing and saying in the future.
  In defence of the 'Indies' I must reiterate what others have said, they were never set up as a political party but as a counterbalance to the unelected Labour dominated (18 seats 18 Labour councillors)Dover Town Council who were about to spend £10,000 on a suspended clock at the Tower Hamlets crossroads. In retrospect a waste of £10,000 but supported by me at the time. The first ,Indie, elected was Peter Drew who assured me he was a Labour voter but felt that our actions should have accountability which they did not, an arguement I believe you would endorse.
  At this juncture I think I should admit to agreeing in retrospect with you that Town Councils are a layer of government hard to justify but whilst they exist they should be accountable and the best way to do this is to have councillors from all political spectrums whether they are affiliated to a political party or not.
