David, I hope you manage to get some pictures on here but will you be wearing a purple suit?
A shame about the snide remarks from the ex UKIP member.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

looks like they are fast tracking him, only elected to the commons 2 years ago and i hadn't heard of him until yesterday.
i wonder if clair will get the same treatment if elected, the reds need a few younger ones as their front bench team do look 'like yesterday's men.

They do a lot of campaigning, but they don't listen to the public.
I don't see the labour party has changed since the party got the boot in 2010

They are doing what your party needs to do and the blues .
More in the case of the blues because the way its stands now they will lose power to the reds next year because UKIP will be taking blue votes more then red but the very big loser in this District will be the LIB/DEM.
I think looking at it over all now will be The reds about 21000, the blues about 17000, UKIP around 7000, others which I might be one of 3000, and last LIB/DEM1000.
I will be standing as a independent if funds can be found.
so it will be close one this time.
But I think there will be a big mixup of cllers in the local Elections which will be held at the same time.
If I was still the chairman of UKIP my main aim would be the wards of the town they could with the blues help win Town, but not much change in most district UKIP also could take Deal town lot of red voters are not happy w ith what has happen there over the pass year.Sandwich I think the blues will hang onto but some votes will go UKIP way.
I would be telling party workers in UKIP go for the towns more then the District, and parish voters will in main vote for
cllrs that they know within the parish.But all to play for in the towns.
So I would think if you would like the vote on the EU in the GEN/Election you must vote blue yes they might go back on their word as in the pass but apart from UKIP REDS/LIB/DEM are saying you will not get a vote .
UIKIP will get some seats and just might take the place of the LIB/DEMS and if that did happen they might just help the Blues keep POWER.
But my gut feeling is that the reds will win and at this time that will not be good for the UK.
Local I see the fight being reds V Blues with UKIP behind but with more votes then ever before but they will not win going from 1700 votes to 21000is to much.

The biggest hit UKIP WILL make is in Folkestone they might just get UKIP first MP the blues MP there is just like Dovers he is not liked by the public Ukip there is run by a pal of mine who now is a Counly Cllr, Frank and myself was going to join Dover and Deal and Folkestone into one big Group which would have helped in funding and getting members out onto the streets more but never got round to that but Folkestone UKIP are well ahead of Dover in the polls and will show up well next time round.

Ooh look. Our Clair with a battalion of class warriors set to change the world with a big banner. Give. Me. Strength.
A bunch of local government office workers, hopefully, on their lunch break bleating on about something or another.
Just what are labour's policies? What are their aims? I don't know. Do they?
There's more to changing the world than standing outside a shop on a Saturday afternoon standing behind a trestle table you know. Much more.
But I guess if you vote for this lot you only have yourselves to blame.

The labour party supports the upper layer of public sector workers , There power base
The bankers and the multinationals that control the EU gravy train
The canvassing in the street is just something they must do to get elected.
If labour could remove your voting rights they would
The postal voting system ,introduced by the labour party, has become one of the biggest voting frauds in uk history
We haven't had a true labour party in 35 years
