The UKIP candidate came from Stoke Poges and the Tory was chairman of a local community group. With a more local candidate can see us having switched another 23 voters

I was a bit disappointed at my first outing last week but it pales to insignificance against the monumentality of error I invented this week. I tender apologies for miring the site with complete nonsense and think I must consider my future position. It would have been a help to have had that analysis posted by Kris yesterday...before we all posted!
