It was the local election day. The media are proudly espousing a significant disaster for the Conservative candidates. This is partly because people want to whip the Tories for after-effects of the furlough scheme and the fact that Putin has prosecuted a war on Ukraine and they think we should be insulated from the financial consequence. There are, however, Tories who will not vote because of the Westminster coup perpetrated by Rishi Sunak.
The Gorse Fox thinks that anyone voting in these elections who cites either cause as the reason for their vote is probably a moron and shouldn't be allowed to vote. These are LOCAL elections. Councillors will not be able to impose a windfall tax on oil companies, they will not be able to stop the influx of illegal immigrants, and they will not be able to pay the NHS more. They are LOCAL elections. They have NO impact on any items espoused by the labour leaflets.
The Gorse Fox and Diane went to our polling station and voted. We chose the candidate that, week after week, has been out and about in our community checking for potholes, lobbying for our green spaces, and picking up litter. He is the best councillor we have ever had.
