The complaints about West Sussex county council’s intention to move the town’s fire station from the town centre to Cheals roundabout are still appearing in the letters pages of the local papers. None of the letters mention the North-East sector in relation to this. The reason I am referring to it is that last week’s […]

Child poverty in Crawley
August 17th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
The other day Antonia wrote about some statistics released by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, with particular emphasis (obviously) on how they apply to Oxford. Just as obviously I could not resist looking them up to see how the JRF think we are doing in Crawley. It is worth mentioning something first about how the figures […]

Gratuitous photo
April 24th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
I have not illustrated a post for ages so the whole site is looking a bit bland. Time for a gratuitous photo to brighten it all up. This is the pond/lake in Milton Mount Gardens. I got so carried away tweaking the photo that it now looks unnatural, but I still like it.

I see from an advert that the new Mission Impossible film starts on May 4th. Thats a good omen for me trying to overturn a majority of 778 in Pound Hill North on the same day…

Pound Hill North

Frankie came out with me today to deliver election addresses to the last few roads in Pound Hill North. There are two polling districts in PHN and we have delivered to every house in one of them and about 85% of houses in the other one. I only missed out a couple which had signs […]

Odd One Out

I took this while I was out delivering election addresses in Pound Hill North this morning (over 80% of houses reached so far!). It symbolises how it sometimes feels to be a Labour candidate in a relatively safe Tory seat. I took another photo of this flower which is not afraid to stand out from […]

Working class racist

I may have lost a vote this afternoon, but if so I'm not bothered too much. While I was out delivering my election addresses I had a chat with a couple of blokes who were outside their house. There was a bit of good-natured banter about how I don't look like the photo on the […]

Another 20%
April 17th, 2006 · Comments Off on Another 20% · Politics
I feel a bit better about my campaign now. Today I got my election address to another 20% of the houses in Pound Hill North, and someone picked up a whole pile for some local volunteers/members to deliver. I also spoke to a couple more members of the Pound Hill party this evening and will […]

Taking a break
April 16th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Politics
Apparently there was a lot of activity today, with us and the Tories both bringing in reinforcements to flood Ifield. I was sort of taking a break from all that: I was out delivering my election addresses in Pound Hill North. It was just me and Frankie today, as I don't really want to divert […]
