Electoral registers are issued to candidates and agents ONLY for use in elections. It is an offence to disclose information from them to others for any purpose whatsoever. Lib Dems have done this before e.g. Simon Ashley outing people as non voters - therefore imaginary? doesn't follow as lots of people are not on, don't vote etc - but anyway on this blog where all kinds of ridiculous points are being made anonymously by Lib Dems it is pretty rich to claim any kudos for spotting someone - using an alias! This is hypocrisy of the highest order. Well apart from being mates with and campaigning with the famous MP Willie Rennie - the one who won the by-election in the constituency in which Gordon Brown resides - and Leech's best pal in the matter of bomb hoaxes. So (a) highest order of cheek and hypocrisy and (b) against the law, maximum penalty £5,000.
Peter H tellingly said John Leech *was* a good councillor. Now he *is* a bad councillor and a truly crapulous MP. In Friday's Metro he had an article about him containing very bad mistakes and headlined: MP's Fraud Warning.
This should appear like a Health Warning on everything Leech produces and be added to his letter head.
John Leech at this stage of his career is probably a better spinner than Keith was in more recent years. But that does not make him a good MP by any means. Just look at the nonsense in some of the EDMs he supports to see that he spends all day - when not playing footie - covering himself so that when a constituent says anything he can say "Oh, I signed this EDM" and he will also brag about the stats e.g. Bradley 200 sensibel EDMs in last year, Leech 1500 often stupid ones in his first. These are not real stats, just an illustration. He's already been doing this about the number of letters he has sent. Irrespective of whether these are form letters - approaching party political and certainly functioning as campaign PR - to big groups or genuine casework letters to individuals.
What's wrong with with his Fraud advice apart from generating a beautiful headline is on my blog under "MP's Fraud Advice".
