New leaflets

I've received a copy of Terry Grayshon's shiny green and white leaflet through the door today, it is awaiting scan.

Meanwhile, over in Morley North, the two flavours of independents have been busy.

Meanwhile in a nearby Ward-

Ardsley & Robin Hood is an adjacent Ward to Morley, much of which came under the auspices of Morley Corporation. There are five hopeful candidates from each of the main parties, i.e. Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, BNP and UKIP. (No Independents are standing here).


BEVERLEY, JOANNA BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY

BOYNTON, DAVID THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CANDIDATE

DANIEL, DAVID UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY

DUNN, JACK THE LABOUR PARTY CANDIDATE (Current Member)

MOORE, PHILIP LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

The Ward currently has three Labour Councillors although there is considerable scope for a protest vote here!

PHILIP MOORE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT 821

I don't know any of the candidates, other than knowing that Jack Dunn is the incumbent and Joanna Beverley is Chris Beverley's Wife. Based on general Government dis-satisfaction, I predict a possible Conservative or BNP win here. If the deserters are split though, the Labour candidate might just scrape back in, particularly if the UKIP candidate gets a chunk of votes.

Town Council Candidate matrix

(I've had to dick about to get this as a jpeg as it was originally a spreadsheet and blogger didn't like the HTML version. I've put BNP as deep blue as their leaflets seem to be that colour, although they are red white & blue of course, which if mixed togetehr give a sort of pinkish colour!)

The grey column shows current councillors who are re-standing.

Labour's Pre-election election leaflet.

(Remember Andy Pipkin from Lou & Andy on Little Britain?)

This is side one, on which the new candidate is introduced (although he isn't actually the candidate at the time), he gets to meet a Home Office Minister outside the Police Station, visits nearby towns with Bus Stations and then stands in Queen Street with a naff handwritten sign. It also plugs Morley Together (a Labour MP initiative, of course), slags off the BNP Councillor for not saying anything at the Morley Summit and still fails to say who David Langham is.

I think of this side as the "Want that one!" side- raising the green eyed monster of envy for not having a Bus Station.


Meanwhile, on side two, it reverts to NIMBYism. It lists various bits of Bovver the BNP have got themselves into (of course, Labour Councillors are all squeaky clean so this isn't at all hypocritical), raises Hope NOT Hate and then raises worries that Morley is to have an incinerator.

Gordon Brown spoke on Hope NOT hate the other day . I saw it described as:

Where's Gordon? Day 4, April 6th:

Speaks from back of a bus in Glasgow to (ironically) anti-democratic communists condemning anti-democratic racists about "Hope not Hate". Video here.


As Andy would say, "Don't want it!"
