| With Respect Robin, Mr Waller is partly correct,at least from my experience here in Brentford. I'm working from home today and have had two knocks at the door this morning from reporters. It has been rather common here since the squatters fiasco and also an episode with the lawyer of Abu Hamsa. Mr Waller seems to have gleaned more out of the reporter than I managed but it seems to relate to jobs as the reporter uttered" jobs for the boys" in her questioning. I'm not too sure what she wanted me to say! Maybe someone else on the forum or locally can throw a bit more light on it. I think she was from the Mirror, certainly wasn't the telegraph. What Mr Waller corellates seems to be exactly the same as stuff I'm hearing locally in the pub and from local neighbours. All very strange. Mr Taylor, I know you are a loyal supporter of Mrs Keen, ( although I can't quite understand that as a Southall resident you seem to know or be more interested in the affairs of Brentford or Hounslow.) But locally, this is very much a Labour district. (mainly chardonnay socialists) but still more likely to vote Labour. Many did not. Even with a high turnout. The problem was the expenses, u-turn on heathrow and the lack of communication. But had as was speculated, an independent Labour candidate stood, many who only voted Labour from pure loyalty would have voted and many who would not vote for AK would have done so. Including myself. How is it that you and the local party cannot see the problem? When so many others who would be solid Labour can? I admire your loyalty but as others have said the seat should have been easily retained and the local party could have done much to remedy the problem ages ago. |
