Untruth unchecked
At 8.40 this morning I went to the council offices to prove that the Labour Leaflet “Consett’s Choice” contained at least one untruth. Council officers confirmed that Lib Dem councillor Bob Cook had indeed attended the scrutiny meeting we were accused of not turning up at. The error in the leaflet is, as far as I know, undisputed even by the Labour Party.
At 9.40 I hand delivered a letter to the Labour Agent’s home address demanding that no more of these untruthful leaflets were delivered, as well as asking for a retraction and apology.
At 11.30 the same leaflet was shoved through my door. That tells you how much the local Labour Party value truth.
On Thursday Consett will judge who to trust with their future. I hope they will judge well because the future is bleak if they re-elect Labour.
have your say
