Richard Wednesday Apr 04, 18:02: Will you (and that clown Paul Ankers, and Leech) STOP referring to Lucy as pro-war? Ankers' leaflet on this subject was as offensive as the one before "rebutting" Labour on Christie ... with stuff from April 05 at the height of the gullibility to their hoax. Lucy spoke out against the war at the hustings. And she went in the local paper of record (marvellous paper n all) confirming her opposition.
Despite this the incredibly negative and dishonest Lib Dems stuck out a leaflet saying the opposite. People are not stupid and they know that there is little on most Lib Dem leaflets apart from the candidate's name that is not a blatant FIB.
John Leech would be crazy not to be scared of Lucy Powell and Manchester Labour. He cannot Fib his way back into parliament and anyone reading his contributions to debates KNOWS he is not competent or effective. On the Police "debate" (in Westminster Hall to half a dozen of his mates) he made a COMPLETE ARSE OF HIMSELF.
He had to apologise three times I think after insulting other MPs. He had to admit that the police budget for 07-08 balanced. And he had to also admit that something he waas moaning about had been sorted out THREE MONTHS before - but he hadn't noticed.
He should be afraid, very afraid.
Thomas: now would be a good time to out the correspondents here who write from desks in Lib Dem offices. One or two of them "I was Labour" etc are getting a bit manic. Let's see them off.
