Taking the strain
I got back from working in London on Friday. The train was late (as it seems to be whenever I have to travel), there were problems with the election address leaflets, and all I could see for three weeks ahead was jobs, jobs and more jobs in the run up to the election.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all there is to do, so imagine how encouraged I was to find some Focus responses including a couple of donations and offers of help to distribute leaflets, vote Lib Dem and display a poster. Better still, there was an offer of help forwarded through this website - what a fantastic advance on the usual offers of cheap car insurance or dodgy pharmaceuticals!
If we’re going to change the direction this county is going in, it’s going to take a team effort. And right now I can feel the team building. It’s a great feeling.
So for all of you reading this, could you offer something to the team? I’d love to see a rash of Lib Dem posters in windows round Consett & Blackhill. Or if you’re shy, we can always use more help to get out the 4,000 leaflets it takes to cover the ward. Whatever you can offer will move us a step forward.
have your say
