So with the local elections soon to get in full swing parties are choosing their candidates. This year you will have a chose of 3 candidates to choose as all 75 Cllrs are out and have to start again because the ward boundaries have been changed - due to Standish becoming so damn big with all the new houses the Labour control council and Tory Government have imposed on us.
So labour cannot find 3 people in the ward or neighbouring wards and had to bring one of their councillors from Bryn as he is due to get kicked out spectacularly because the independents will win all three seats there as this lad as done nothing but take his money and run. he is over 12 miles away from Standish. What can he do? He has done nothing for Bryn as many residents say. One Bryn resident said, Good riddance to him, what a waste of space!"
So who is he?
Sam Flemming a lad that goes to university, so not does he not live in Standish nor anywhere near here he is at Uni. In the past when Labour have done this kind of trick with a lad call Murphy ( can't remember his name) and a bloke from Beech Hill standish residents send a responding message to Labour - Get lost!
Why are Labour doing this?
They believe the Tory's are so unpopular nationally they can parachute anyone one in with a red rosette in.
The Standish Independents will only field local candidates and you will not find us doing what Labour are doing bring someone in from bryn. what a disgrace and desperate state of affairs for Labour to have to do this.
