John Leech misled nobody about Christies. He picked up on the intelligent fears of the doctors and bought it to the fore just as he should have done. As far as we can see, he got a result for his efforts too. As for diligence, by the way, the West Didsbury Residents had their regulat meeting last night. As usual there were a couple of lib dem councillors there. And Joh n Leech came along to, as he has always done regularly. That's why they get votes. They turn up and work at grass roots level. No doubt they pull a few political stunts - all politicians do - but nobody here can remember keith bradley ever turning up , or any labour people turning up to help the local association. The result is, after years of their doing that time after time after time, people round here feel connected to Lib Dems in a way that Labour has forgotten about in Manchester. Labour has been in power so long in this city that they take it for granted and have forgotten that they are supposed to be our servants, rather than our masters. They need to lose power for a few years in order to learn what being the people's party is all about. Good luck at university, by the way. And remember - politicians lie. ALL of them. And the nerds you see debating inanely at the various political societies at university are the ones which will run the countyry in 25 years time, god help us.
