Voting

No, obviously.

But voting for his "party" candidates is a show of support. Believe me when I say that Rod is not a big C Conservative, it's just an easier route to getting in to fix things.

So that's why I have a seriously bad problem with voting for Gary Perkins this time around.

I hate the cunt. Yes, "cunt". He is a faction within the cabinet (and an old Mike Bawden stooge) that I very seriously want to stab with a Bristol Rovers fan.

A rock and a hard place.

What...that freekin nutcase para has stood before? :shock:
If i had known he had stood before, i would have gone up against him..... fuckin nimby.

Fuck my old boots. :roll:

John stood last May, Matt.

He didn't stand a chance against Keith Williams (Con). S&NE is probably the most Conservative ward in Swindon bar the Old Town ones.

It needed an independent conservative this time round, but I couldn't find anybody who wanted to stand. And no, not me - I just wouldn't have the patience or cool head to be a fucking councillor. It would drive me mad sitting through all those shite meetings and Full Council every month.

Do you know Jonnie D well then Alan?
Ive met him a couple of times, and whilst he is articulate and intelligent with a fairly big pair of kahoonas to boot, he doesnt strike me as the sort who would have many friends in the political world!! Ask him what he thinks about Iraq....you will be there for feckin hours!!

 Point of information comrade.....Eastcott Ward which contains most of Old Town's housing, has returned Liberals for years, interspersed with some Labour ....back in the very early 80's Bawden, held it as his private fiefdom, due to a happy knack of getting the postal vote from the surprising amount of care homes, in the Ward.

 It was a night of long and hard celebrating when he was sent packing, only to return in Lawn.

 Lawn now seems to picked up the name Old Town and Lawn, which appears to be a bit of estate agent rebranding.

Reg OT and Lawn area covers the Mall, Goddard Av area and all of Okus - some way from the Lawns, the old town wards are very 'class oriented' depending which side of bath road you live - i'm now in Eastcott (I think) having previously been OT and Lawn, personally I had only two flyers through the door, and no door knocking and it didn't convince me either way - much less info than I got when in the OT ward.

Indeed I do.

Cruel but funny

 Having tramped the streets of Old Town, canvassing and knocking up support for more years than I care to remember, the ward boundariies are indelibly stamped on my brain.
