Garwick Terrace,
Greetland.

WE are constantly hearing about politicians as having their "snouts in the trough."
Well our newly-elected local councillor certainly has made sure his snout is well and truly in the trough.

Keith Watson stood as a Lib Dem candidate in the Greetland and Stainland ward, a sure, safe Lib Dem seat.

Having won a foregone conclusion, he promptly changes sides to the Conservatives, no doubt to be rewarded with a cabinet post and the large expenses cheque that goes with it.

How anyone can trust a man who has so blatantly lied to the electorate just to line his own nest?

Does this man think the people of Greetland and Stainland actually voted for him as an individual or because the Lib-Dem actually look after the ward?

The man is an absolute disgrace who obviously has no res-pect for democracy or the locals of Greetland and Stainland ward. He should resign now.

nick,
he seems to think one votes for the person not the party, I think he should resign too because if he had stood as a tory I would have voted Liberal.

And I would like the opportunity for the councillors theory to be put too the test, will the liberals please allow John Ford to stand in the election for them?

just 4 the experiment like.
