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.“
