Been up for 23 hours, time to sleep, then get up for the counting of the council election votes at 12:30 pm, to see how people like Ron Oatham and Toby Mountain have fared…
I’m really looking forward to watching Paddy Ashdown eat his hat. ????
I make that as MF getting 55% support from our area , let us hope he stays with his promise to oppose mass building without pre-installed infrastructure……..????
Thank goodness this country does not face 4 years of a loony lefty spend spend Labour government, and the icing on the cake, a kick in the (Ed) balls…..
I understand your point Oz ( the Happiest ) but don’t be fooled , the previous/next government has borrowed ( and therefore spent ) to such an extent that the National Debt has doubled over the term. Who is gonna pay for that credit card ? ( you and I ).
Expected result really. Would have liked the green party candidate to have saved her deposit as I felt she made a really good effort at the meetings despite being inexperienced and nervous.
Must show my appreciation of the local Conservatives for supplying me with so much blue and white toilet paper over the last few weeks 🙂
