What a misleading web site - the article in the Reporter was about this site, and clearly was fed information from the same people who have created the site - it is certainly not an "independent article" which just happened to appear in the local paper. Strikes me that some local Labour activists are finding it hard to accept that they lost. Personally, apart from about 5 leaflets from the Lib Dems I found it a very quiet election as usual - which is I guess why the labour activists are so angry - they thought it was in the bag. As for the Christie sub plot - I first heard about it on National television - it was leaked that the Tories were going to hold a press conference about it as part of their national campaign - but they must have changed their minds after the leak.
