Just a quick note tonight as I am somewhat tired following our successful fundraiser last night.
We were treated to another of Jonathan Bowden's speeches. Jonathan is possibly one of the most accomplished political speakers in any party and certainly better than any our opposition could put up. We were lucky to have him and appreciate his effort in driving 150 miles in each direction.
Although the actual numbers at the meeting were somewhat fewer than we would have liked that was more than made up by the generosity of those buying tickets even though they were unable to attend and the generosity of people's contributions including two donations of £100, one from a member on benefits and one from a pensioner.
Really special was a cheque for £68 from members of the crew of a Royal Navy supply ship from somewhere in the Atlantic. Our reach really does spread wide.
Also thanks to the owners of the venue and the ladies who provided the superb buffet.
The total receipts were £2,566. From that was deducted £90 for petrol.
These funds will enable us to mount a strong campaign in our three Parliamentary seats with full leaflet cover.
In addition we will be standing in as many wards as possible and candidates are being selected.We may not be able to leaflet fully all the wards we are standing in but the candidates will be announced on this blog together with their wards and policies later.
We are on our way!
Keep looking in to this blog for the latest information and policies in the next six weeks.

WEYMAN BENNET ARRESTED - SUSPICION OF CONSPIRACY TO CONDUCT VIOLENT DISORDER
"Among those arrested was UAF organiser, Weyman Bennett, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder. ...
Today in Bolton we have seen some small evidence of this protest in the form of flag waving and vitriolic name calling - but we have also seen groups of people, predominantly associated with the UAF, engaging in violent confrontation.
It is clear to me that a large number have attended today with the sole intention of committing disorder and their actions have been wholly unacceptable. Turning their anger onto police officers they acted with, at times, extreme violence and their actions led to injuries to police officers, protestors and members of the public." [...]
There you have it, straight from the horses mouth, the UAF are the FASCIST MILITANT WING OF UNITE THE UNION AND NEW LABOUR.
