Creative thinking as they can just parachute the candidates into wherever suits head office.

There is a list going around showing candidates being investigated for expenses fraud with Charlie's name on it. Clearly a spoof but our Charlie tries to make political capital out of it by blaming the Labour Party.

Looks to me like someone has just typed out a list of people they didn't like.

Whether or not Charlie Elphicke has been diddly dee with his expenses, will come out sooner or later.
I find his voting record very interesting. That is recorded properly.

Looks to me like someone is simply trouble-making but what else can we expect in this build up to the election.
I think it is wrong to keep repeating this sort of thing as some idiots will always believe what they read.

This is what Charlie has to say about this fake list........
"Charlie Elphicke
Charlie Elphicke It's not just a mistake. It is a malicious and untrue libel. Welcome to the World of fake news where desperate Labour trolls will say and write anything!"

As I said in 145 Charlie making a cheap political point when he has absolutely no idea who is passing that around. Not the first time he has pulled that stunt.

Charlie asked nearly everyone present at the Zeebrugge event who is the labour candidate, obviously of some concern to him.

There is one thing you can say about Councillor Watkins he does things respectfully.During my term of office he supported me in a low key manner all the time.

In Charlie's case I can think of no-one who has supported him in a more low key manor than myself.

Sue I could write this tomorrow but now you have started opening up the debate,,,,,
I recall you making one of your long passionate speeches whilst on health and housing committee, and your buddy left throughout your speech and made it clear he didn't agree with any part of it and you were moved soon after.

It's looking like the Mail is running scared with today's headlines, to probably make sure it's the Tories who get out to vote.
Next ..............

It is not likely to have been a Tory supporter is it!
A Labour supporter would think it funny or the ideal chance to stir up trouble by spreading it as often as possible even if he/she did not write it.

I would guess it to be a member of a fringe group or a 6th former, Charlie must suspect that too but he blamed a window being put through in his Walmer office years ago on Labour. Just happened to be in the school holidays.
