Thomas, I have printed this previously, some years ago I stood as an Independent Candidate in the local elections, whilst canvassing I called on an elderly lady in Hexham Avenue who asked if I could do anything about rubbish been thrown over her fence and down the side of her garage, I approached the Council who told me that as it was private property they could not help, I offered her to try to clear it myself but she said no, I asked if I could depend on her vote and her answer was, “EEH no son, my dad always voted Labour so I have to” She must have been in her 80s, what chance did I have ?
