Vanessa You sound like Robin Taylor when you make ridiculous references to Tories in Hammersmith and Fulham being "my mates". Do either of you understand that it is possible for a person to be critical of certain things the Labour Party does from time to time and still not be a paid-up member of the Tory Party? Believe it, there's a whole wide world out there filled with people who are not robotic, uncritical followers of EITHER party. Can you get that? Folks like your good self are actually very much in the minority. Amusingly, the only conversation I have ever had with a Conservative councillor from H&F was when I encountered one of them at a regional Housing meeting when I was Lead Member. He regaled me with the news that the Hounslow Conservatives were going to "kick those independents out on their arse" by winning an overall majority in May 2010 and told me what an especially awkward and unpleasant person this Phil Andrews was. I did think to tell him something he ought to know, but decided against as he seemed to have rather a lot to impart to me. Anyway, if there is a public announcement that the libraries are safe for the duration of this administration, not just for the next few months, then we will deal with that if/when it happens. Until it happens the march goes ahead, and I doubt whether many people will read this forum and stay away on the basis of your so-far unsubstantiated news. I invited you to attend because a few weeks ago you stated on this forum, or possibly it was W4.com, that you would support a campaign against library closures. Then suddenly you began to sing another tune. I didn't realise the party whip extended to non-councillors, although would I be right in sensing that you are positioning yourself for a return? Stranger things have happened. But who will be asked to give way? |
