Changed my mind as to Laura Moffatt’s replacement – after reading the excellent coverage by Crawley Observer.

Not Brenda Smith

My money is now on Chris Oxlade

Looking in my crystal b####x, I think it will be Crawley Labour’s current Leader, Cllr Brenda Smith – same ‘mould’ and has considerable local support.

My only criticism of Moffatt’s decision is the TIMING…but I sense this was a relatively unplanned – even impulsive decision – on her part….she has written NOTHING on her official website – which is unusual, but could explain a lot:

Can’t help feeling something was said (or done) when ‘Millipeed’ (Foreign Sectetary) came to town very recently….who knows ?!

Laura was a big help to me and my partner at a difficult time. So I wish her well. When you read the evil and yes they are nasty comments on the Maidenbower Site you would hope that our ‘enry would step in and be a gentleman and rectify the antilocution. Of course he wont because he still a member of “the nasty party”

Sadly, we will only realise what an excellent MP Laura Moffatt has been for Crawley, when she’s gone.

Henry Smith as our MP doesn’t bear thinking about – very much a lightweight amongst heavyweights; and a puppet amongst master-puppeteers.

Who will replace her at such short notice – the present Labour Leader Brenda Smith ?

Then it would be Smith vs. Smith !

Well, I’m sure that there will be gloating.

My only question is over the timing. With weeks to go before the election, the choosing of a replacement is going to be very tight.

“Snarky political blogs” are much like the “snarky” local & national papers – we can be critical of them, but we need them…..a necessary evil in a vibrant democracy, perhaps ?

As I see it, Blogging is simply Writing – A Medium for Communication.
Bloggers are simply Writers communicating – or trying to.
Some Blogs (& Bloggers) are good….some are crap.

It’s all in the eye of the beholder.

So, what may be a “snarky political blog” to one, may be quite the opposite to another.

Usage (eg ‘hits’) is probably the only effective measure of value…maybe.

Comment on Iron Maiden by Skuds

It is a bit impressive.
When I saw Les Negresses Vertes several times I only knew a fraction of the words.

I was so impressed that the audiences in Japan, India etc knew all the words. I don’t know why but I was….. I also remember listening to the first Iron Maiden album with cousin Caroline way back in the day – she was into Iron Maiden, Girlschool, Dave Edmunds and Abba.

Oh I don’t know – snarky political blogs are a very good thing too

I think you have cracked it – though it is not Blue Frank but a track called The Pink Room
(here on Spotify)
Nice piece of music.
