Came across this chap in the comments on Charlotte Gore.
Now I don’t live in Dagenham and Rainham, I looked at places there once when I was moving out of Southend, and I doubt if anyone that could vote for him reads this. But you never know, so if you are from that area or know someone who is go have a read of Gordon Kennedy‘s site. He’s planning on standing as an independent in Dagenham and Rainham and from what he’s written seems like a someone who might well be worth a bit of support (could anyone be much worse than the current incumbents?).
According to his website:
“I am doing this because I am tired of shouting at my TV, and listening to the lies of politicians. All I have is a chance, a tiny chance that somewhere in Dagenham and Rainham the voters will not stay at home, but try to make a change.”
Which seems like a damn good motive to me, so go have a look at what he has to say and spread the word and maybe someone who can vote for him will hear about it.
P.S. I really like his suggestion about how the CPS should work:
“Justice should be blind, prepared cases should be considered in the first instance by the Crown Prosecution Service only by a reference number. I would like the judges free of political manipulation, and if the minimum penalties are too soft, then we should change the Law.“
Thanks for writing that.
Reading it, lifted my spirits after a day soaking wet sticking leaflets through doors.
