More on this over at MorleyGate.

Another leaflet repeating the accusation, this time in Central Ward.


I ought to say that I’ve not seen anything illegal or libellous fram any candidate, outside of claiming false credit and the general manure about how the opposition are useless and only they can save the world etc. With the exception of Stewart McArdle, they are all guilty of that.

The Town Council elections are starting to get nasty.

Friends of Morleygate have passed me a leaflet from Elmfield Ward (my own Ward, but not the one I live in).


There is an interesting accusation in the spiel. Click on the image below to see a large version:

If true, then the MBIs are in big trouble. If false, the BNP are. However, I would think it very unlikely that either side are daft enough to do this. I’m more inclined to think that the MBIs are going to be used as some sort of stalking horse in some sort of Searchlight accusation and the BNP will apologise afterwards but have made their point.

The Town Council has an online mailing list, called Morleylist. Up until the legendary free speech suppression episode at the March Full Council meeting, I was the Webmaster and list administrator.

Afterwards, I made it clear that if they weren’t prepared to listen to me, I had no intention of carrying on with my informal duties and whilst I didn’t actually resign from being a Councillor, I chose to (mostly) withdraw from participation as a Member.

(I will cease to be a Member this Thursday of course once the elections take place as I am not re-standing).

Yesterday, I received an email from someone asking me “What happened?” and with the subject LISAGATE. I went and had a look on the site and noticed that ten posts had been deleted, without explanation, by someone with access to the List Management account.

I have seen the posts (they turned up in my daily digest) and they did degenerate into what might be called “inappropriateness” but some of them were simply critical of the Morley Borough Independents.

There is probably an argument that a forum such as this should be suspended during the run-up to an all-out election but there is also an argument against as well.

Somewhere in the world you can leave messages on a wallboard and then see them with a Webcam. In this bloke’s living room.

I wonder if it distracts him watching the telly?

(Maybe he never watches the telly- he has a carcam as well.)
