Re: Conservative candidate named.
So...has anybody up there spotted Kaz out and about yet? It's like waiting to hear the first cuckoo of Spring, isn't it?

Ah well, it's back to tradition, she's working along the lines of good old 'Lobby lud', in reverse.
If you see her walking the street's of Hyndburn all you have to do is approach her, (with a current Conservative Manifesto), to claim your right to vote anyway you choose, (unless of course you happen to be a member of the party).
Anonymous employees of the newspaper would visit seaside resorts. The newspaper would print details of the town, a description of the appearance of that day's planted "Lobby Lud", and a particular pass phrase. Anyone carrying a copy of the newspaper could challenge "Lobby Lud" with the appropriate phrase, and receive the sum of five pounds. This was then a handsome amount of money, equivalent to more than £220 in 2008 pounds[1].
Taken from:-
Lobby Lud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No, but a few nights ago had a visit from GJ - 'on the knock'. Have not met him before - seems a down to earth chap. Topics discussed , in no particular order, banks, BA strike, MP's expenses, local Tories, taxes, Cameron/Osborne, public sector..... but no sign of the opposition yet
at least not in my area

I've been to their Mills
And tramped up their hills
But we don't seem to have the same rhythm"

Oh, perlease Mr. Vatican Pope can we have a decision on this one?
Is Rhythm exclusive to you red necks or can we all have a go?

Thanks for the chance to speak. Down to earth in the sense that Stephen Byers will get it explained to him as 'gracefully as working people do' why he shouldn't be an MP.
Out every night and weekends. My family are missing me and I missing them.

Poor Moley.
With Conservative friends like that, I'd hate to see what you'd do to your enemies.

Oh dear.
Then I think there might have been the biggest miscarriage of justice since the execution of Derek Bentley.
