| Guy - really? I don't know John Dale (Brentford TV) very well, and neither do I have a clue what his politics are. What I do know is that he is filling the large gap left since the demise of our once valued local press. Do tell - how do you have politics without controversy? Is Labour so bloody arrogant that they feel they cannot ever get things wrong and shouldn't be held to account? Since when was it frowned upon for light to be shone into murky corners? Perhaps the current Labour group could try conducting themselves properly instead of the chancers and wannabees that they look like a lot of the time? Who in the middle of by elections doesn't engage with local media and does it so bloody discourteously? The local press was never the poodle of the council and were good at attending council meetings and holding councillors to account on a weekly basis, that is what John Dale has been trying to do, but in the light of people refusing point blank to talk to him - well we can all draw our own inferences from that. Had the Labour group been given a gun with which to shoot themselves in their collective feet they couldn't have made much more of a disaster of these by elections had they tried. From the distinctly dodgy nominations and selections and on it's all been a dog's dinner. And no amount of trying to blame it all on others will wash. |
