I know of instances where Lib Dems have done similar things.<br /><br />Our difference is that we all have biases and prejudices. I think its best to display them clearly, you think occasional reference sufficient. That's a marginal difference overall.<br /><br />I would though ask for someone who has on his masthead a pride in offending politicians (I agree/disagree with you) which Lib Dems have you offended/criticised? I can't recall any but that may be more to do with their relatively small number of representatives in Kent, but if you've some examples I'd welcome knowledge of them.<br /><br />In the national circumstances this 8.5% swing was one of the best local government by-election results for Labour nationally in over a year and I think you should acknowledge that.<br /><br />Having said that the best improvement and biggest swing (14%) was to the Lib Dem. Then again the best result is to win and that's what Labour did!Son of Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019533493432411653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-67011412265863805022009-12-04T10:36:26.433+00:002009-12-04T10:36:26.433+00:00Congratulations to Sandy Hart who won last night i...Congratulations to Sandy Hart who won last night in Dane Valley. The tone of the campaign was interesting to say the least, and the 'local' labour tactic appears to have paid off. Well done to them. It must have given Clive some dodgy moments at times, as he has said elsewhere, it is the first real test of his leadership of the local Labour group.<br /><br />So, they can have a moment today of feeling justifiably proud of their achievement.chris wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086054266384793626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-60182763445624499722009-12-04T00:03:24.235+00:002009-12-04T00:03:24.235+00:00I'll tell you what happened to Labour.
