It's easy to look after your ward when you control the money and it hasn't taken me 8 months to work that out.

You've been there 8 months, he's been there 28 years and maybe, just maybe he remembers when year after year Ossy got the mucky end of the stick, not for 8 months but year after year after year

Ah, so two wrongs make a right?

So many things to learn about politics!

Well it aways does when Labour are on the good side but not when the Tories are in the same boat, and yes your quite right, a hell of a lot

Yes I would thought more would have turned out, with the amount of canversing that went on was remarkable (I live in Shaw, which falls within the Oldham East and Saddleworth constuancy), I received no shotage of leaflets and 'newspaper' type information. The fact that a Labour candidate(Debbie Abrahams) was elected was no suprise as labour is in the blood of many within these areas of Oldham.
