Ghulam Murtaza - Disgraced former Labour Councillor in Rochdale kicked out of the party for failing to declare a conviction and jail sentence...now sticking up for John and the Lib Dems. Interesting stuff. Look people, the issue is fairly obvious stuff. John Leech ran a Save Christie Hospital Campaign. A month after the General Election and he is still failing to provide a justification/credible explanation for having put the fear into local people. Nobody with Labour affiliations is claiming this is the sole reason that he won. But it is painfully clear, considering Neil Goodwin's strog rebuke AND John's eagerness to deflect criticism/fudge the issue, that this campaign was wholly misleading. So people put your party politics aside and hone in on the facts. There's your reason this website exists. Yep, we can talk around Blair/Withington Hospital/Iraq, whatever you like but don't pretend that the Lib Dems have/can excuse themselves on Christie. And as for Lib Dem criticism of this site, can you really be any more sanctimonious? Anyone who visited www.vote-2005.co.uk during the election and various Labour Watch blogs will get my drift. Pots and kettles...
