21 April - From Erith via Crayford and Southend to Runcorn
There will be a Parliamentary By-election in Runcorn and Helsby on 1st May because the former Labour MP engaged in a bit of late night fisticuffs with a constituent.
One of the candidates used to be a local man, he stood for election in
Erith & Thamesmead in 2015 and
in Bexleyheath in Crayford
(PDF) four years later when he said he lived in Erith.
After featuring him and including a newspaper report about him here he emailed
me on 8th December to say that if I did not remove the link to The
Independent Newspaper he would have me prosecuted. He notably failed to say that the report was untrue.
What is it about tin-pot election candidates
that make them so keen on hiding their past?
Although I
removed the blog for the sake of a quiet life I forgot to remove a YouTube
video which said much the same thing.
