Who am I calling a hypocrite and a liar? Well there are plenty I can think of you know………..I always knew I was facing a dirty fight with Labour both nationally and locally so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m not surprised but I have to say I am immensely disappointed at the behaviour of my Labour opponent David Crausby and the obvious national dirty Labour campaign.

It seems now that most days my post bag contains something from a Labour activist or David Crausby himself. Personally I think they have too much time on their hands, I’m far too busy with my own positive campaign and working on my case work for constituents, pity they aren’t doing the same!

I’ve had a few such letters this week including one from David Crausby, apparently he disagrees with political parties who take  money from Non Doms, he thinks it’s a disgrace! Is Mr Crausby hypocritical or ill-informed. Is he unaware that the Labour Party have received MORE money from Non Doms than the Conservatives? Does he think that it’s ok for Labour but shouldn’t be allowed for the Conservatives? There he was on The Politics Show this morning stood outside Westminster stating that Political Parties should not be allowed to receive donations from people who don’t pay tax on earnings outside the UK – clearly referring to Michael Ashcroft. What about Lord Paul Mr Crausby? The Conservatives have said they will change the law to stop this – have Labour? No they are too busy being hypocritical.

I also received this week an anonymous letter from someone claiming to have worked in Mr Crausby’s office, he wrote to tell me I was a liar and a fraud and apparently not a Boltonian. Well I must say Mr or Mrs Anonymous that you have upset my Mum! Just for the record I was born in the Royal Bolton Hospital, went to school in Harwood, Bolton, then to Mount St Josephs , Bolton and have always and still currently do live in Bolton. I’m also tiring of the emails from Labour activists trying to ‘trip’ me up with leading Qs…..I wont be answering – so don’t waste your time writing. I’m too busy with my positive campaign offering the people of Bolton North East change.
