A difference of legal opinion? Clarified?

The previous post, A difference of legal opinion? Appeared to be straightforward, but has ended up with some confusion, mostly down to the mixing of legal terms with more colloquial words. Especially so, in the case of Gerald Smith’s response … Continue reading

Hilda goes for it in Holderness
Hilda Jack the dumped, Ex Labour Councillor for Holderness Ward is fighting back against the Labour election machine.
She has issued the election literature shown below:
We are wondering if her now Ex-Labour mates will have the heart to report her for the evident elections offence? We will, no doubt, find out in the fullness of time.
If Gerald Smith or his mates do report her, it would amount to the worst kind of hypocrisy, given the outrageous and illegal antics last year and Gerald Smiths formal police caution (Conviction) for his own errors!
A huge thank you is due to our source, Thanks again, Rothpol.
Who else is standing? The Runners and Riders.
Vote Loony – You Know It Makes Sense!
Close of nominations reveals the first Official Monster Raving Loony Party candidate has appeared in Rotherham! Omar Mehban is standing for them in Mahroof Hussain’s Ward, Boston Castle.
There has appeared also a rift in Holderness Ward Labour Party where the Official Labour Candidate, Christopher Robinson is opposed by the newly Independent (and Unofficial Monster Raving Loony Party Candidate) Hilda Jack, the sitting Councillor. She is refusing to lie down, after being dumped by Labour in a ‘palace coup’, organised by her long term ally Gerald Smith. See: Rotherham’s disgraceful parade gets ever longer!
The third surprise is Thomas Fenoughty who, despite having a solid majority, is not defending his Wales Ward seat?
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who Is The Greediest Of Them All?…..
