Stephen Taylor Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Dear Dismayed  Shredded Lib Dem leaflets make exceedingly good guinea pig bedding. Assuming you have one of course? :thinker:  [ 08.04.2008, 15:08: Message edited by: Stephen Taylor ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Surely that would come under the banner of 'cruelty to poor defenceless animals'  If that fails then recycling into toilet paper may be the only option as the all the leaflets are full of **** anyway  (PS I edited my own post before someone else did as I reaslise it wasn't very lady like )  [ 08.04.2008, 22:32: Message edited by: Dismayed ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Taylor Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Posted by Dismayed  all the leaflets are full of anyway Obviuosly you do not live in Stockton Heath, otherwise you would be subject to one of my leaflets which I'm sure you would find interesting.  [ 09.04.2008, 09:15: Message edited by: Gary ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I rarely get any flyers through my door... don't know why. Wouldn't it be a good idea if copies of ALL pre-election flyers (paricularly the Lib Dem Focus ones that everyone talks about) were made to be accessible for everyone online to read rather than just the people who are lucky? enough to get one through their letter box.  It would give everyone a better picture of what is actually going on accross the borough and may even show up a few oddities too Gladly. It is at our website, which like our party is growing every day. http://www.warringtongreenparty.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I note that the Liberal Democrats are avid readers of my posts on this Forum....and listen for my interviews on Radio 4. I'm really grateful as they have given me some great publicity in one of their recent leaflets, indeed they actually name me and describe me in flattering terms. I've sent them a photo to include the next time they write about me. Â Thanks to them, I've received numerous emails and phone calls saying how refreshing it is to have a politician who makes honest comments, recognises a problem, acknowledges it then goes about sorting it. Â It would of course we nice if Lib Dems came on here and posted in their own names, but I guess that requires the courage of ones convictions.

Gary Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 They even gave some good PR to WWW - refreshing to know this is the place everybody comes for their news! Â I must say though - I prefer to hear about the good work done by people, rather than knocking the opposition. It is easy to knock people but a lot harder to do constructive things. You find that in most things in life- even on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 All parties use election leaflets to both say what they have been, or will be doing and also to show the faults of the opposition. I have lib dem, labour and conservative leaflets in front of me now. Each of them follow this good guys/bad guys format so there is no point in one party getting snooty about it!

Dizzy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Which one of the three parties are apparently getting 'snooty' then... I'm confused are you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Lib-Dem one really got my back up though. Made to look like a hand written letter (come on we aren?t that stupid) it says in it {scrabbles through bin to find it} "Everyone knows the conservatives can't win" spelt with a small "C" is the guy illiterate as well?? Â Well come on Mr LIB DEM, it suited you to form an alliance with the Conservatives to take control from Labour.... If it stays the same does that mean they will not ask for another alliance? Â I bet they won't!!..............NOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 If nothing else the LD's pre-election antics do tend to make a lot of people laugh eh  Was the computerised 'hand written' letter printed on blue paper again like last time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes they laugh all the way to the polling stations-where they keep voting for us! If the only criticism of the letter is a small c it must have been good. Perhaps Kevin meant conservatives with a small c- i.e. less significant. Can't speak for Westbrook, but the blue letters I have delivered today were most definitely hand written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Taylor Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 They are hand written only as an original, the letters are printed, but like evrything else with the LD's, it is smoke and mirrrors; just want to make the voters think that they have spent hours toiling away writing to each and every one of them personally. Â Clever, wish I'd thought of that ....NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Only significant if it gives the Libs a bit of power though eh Chrissy?  The Wishy-washy, namby-pamby, toga wearing, criminal loving, sat on the fence, don't know which way to turn; Lib-Dems. Remember the Lib-Dem alliance, Lib-Lab pact, Lib-Dem-Tory alliance? They don't know what they are or where they are going. They got rid of the best leader they had in donkeys years in Vince Cable and stuck some young bloke in charge that no one had ever heard of (and hasn't heard of yet in Parliament; Vince still does the best speeches there)  The Liberals have always been a protest vote party just like the Respect party and the BNP and the Independant candidates. Always good for a mid term knock at whoever is in power but no one really wants to put them in Government or would ever seriously think it possible that they could make second place. This government now is absolutely battered, bloodied and bruised and quite possibly the most hated regime since Mugabe opted for a recount! but if there were an election tomorrow, both Labour and the Tories would still come out streets ahead of the Lib-Dems and everyone knows it  Don't know why they bother with the paper!

observer Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 A rather depressing post Baz: however IF (and it's a big IF) enough folk started to vote for so-called "protest" Parties that reflect their views, the main Parties would begin to change their policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thank You GW. Â But why depressing Obs? People will not vote for independants; as has been said on here many times before. Most people feel that if they had an independant councillor or even MP that they would be unable to achieve anything as they would always be outnumbered by the big two. I personally would love to stand for election as a councillor or even an MP but my allegiances do not lie with any one party so it would have to be as an independant...... and I might as well keep my deposit in my own pocket! Â My post was intended partly as the way I see the Lib-Dems (and it comes from raw personal experience at reaction to events in my own life) and partly as a humourous response to someone who is obviously so indoctrinated in party hog-wash that she (or he) believes that it is all true and that they are the party of the moment. The Lib-Dems have been threatening to be the "real party of opposition" (to both the Labour and Conservative administrations!) and have been"preparing for government" since before I started voting some 25 years ago.

Paul Kennedy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 but the blue letters I have delivered today were most definitely hand written. Â If that was the case then shouldn't it be letter singular rather than letters plural. Â Have to say, all the ones I have seen, and I have seen many, have all been printed and certainly not handwritten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 All parties use election leaflets to both say what they have been, or will be doing and also to show the faults of the opposition. Â Sounds reasonable to me, although one party, the Liberal Democrats have got slagging off other parties and people off to a fine art. Interestingly they have a specialist office in Hebden Bridge which provides them with all of the ideas, just in case folks thought their local people had the ability to do it themselves. They don't even have the ability to run WBC properly as evidenced by the Polling Card fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 and stuck some young bloke in charge that no one had ever heard of  And from what I understand, it was the wrong one as many votes got delayed in the post, they actually opened them to find that Huhne would have been the winner.  Calamity Cleggover...says it all really.

Chrissy Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yes, go Baz - PLEASE! I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of the people of warrington. They are, after all, the people who so tired of labour incompetence and Conservative ? well not in the race - that they vote Lib Dem in ever increasing numbers. You are obviouly rattled because things aren't going your way, so why not stand as independent? It takes courage, but I'm sure you have that. I am most definitely female by the way - for whoever raised it. I sense you think I'm some undercover cop!! I am neither a councillor nor a candidate - just a supporter.
