Tory Apathy and in fighting
12 May 2011 by Vicki Mumby
"I hope I don't win i didn't really want to do it." This was a mantra of one of the Tory candidates for Burton and Winterton at the Local Election count! Unfortunately if you voted Tory on Thursday it would appear that you are being severely short changed.
If rumours are to be believed the new rulling Tory group have started their time with power struggles who will be leader Liz Redfern or Rob Waltham? Well both have had their share of problems Liz was found to have paid not business tax during her period as leader, and Rob well his problems have been documented in the Scunthorpe Telegraph.
I would like to remind Liz and Rob that whoever loses be very careful because if you cross Brigg & Goole Conservative party you end up on the independent benches like John Berry or Don Stewart!

is this Vst Scunthorpe a great community site or just a Red blog?
Let it go, Bill Cheetham!
Others are quite correct. This is not about me. It is all about others.
Outsiders, families, individuals or small companies unwisely and insanely risking relocating to such a parochial backwater like Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire. Potential newcomers who, for whatever reason, don\'t do their groundwork, don\'t have the contacts and aren\'t in the know?
It is only by constantly publishing my experiences, observations and judgments that hopefully I can give them a flavour of what to expect. And if that avoids even just one company, family or individual from making the same mistake as we did; then trust me, it will all have been worthwhile.
But of course there are patronising eeejits who lack the powers of deduction and intellect who fail to appreciate why I won\'t let it go.
Besides, in the meantime while the property market picks up, why spoil the fun!? :-)
So I'm a patronising eejit am I Billy Cheetham. Well you are beneath contempt - no arguement, no discussion, no comebacks.
Nothing would have given me a greater satisfaction than to have wisely chosen and relocated to an area where my usual values and practice of do unto others as you would have them do unto you, would have continued to serve me well.
Bill, I understand perfectly well every single word you write. It is only when you put them next to each other that I struggle
Ahhh, that old chestnut!! Am I surprised? I rest my case.
How dare you call me a chestnut..and i'm not as old as I look. Rest peacefully
