Moseley residents have been pampered over the last 18 years with the lovely Lynne Jones as our MP. Lynne had(s) a mind of her own and at least seemed to be attuned to the way that Moseley sees itself. She opposed the war and could be seen at the Farmers Market. Very much a local MP.
It seems that we’ve now done something to piss the Labour party off. In return for giving them an extra seat for nearly two decades they have rewarded us with Roger Godsiff. Wooo, cheers.
Roger’s campaign seems to have largely consisted of not bothering to visit his prospective constituents. He doesn’t attend hustings on the tenuous basis that he might come into contact with other parties.
He also seems to have an increasingly bizarre line of leaflets. Probably his most reprehensible being this latest one that claims that the Liberal Democrats want to give paedophiles the vote. This is jaw dropping in its ignorance.
Ignorant in that he doesn’t understand how the European Convention on Human Rights work and ignorant in that he doesn’t recognise that the average Moseley voter probably thinks this is actually a good idea.
It also quite maliciously seems to link pictures of Cllr Jerry Evans with notorious murderers. We are convinced that Jerry has never murdered anyone.
People should note that there a lot of people standing in Hall Green this year and a vote for anyone other than Roger would be a stand against ignorance.
[edit]
It appears the people of the Hall Green Constituency have spontaneously come together to tell Roger they don’t like his dirty campaigning.
