Some might argue that politics slows down in August. Not if you are a candidate fighting a large majority - quite the opposite. August is a month to get things delivered and to get things done.
So today has been a delivery day and a long hot afternoon spent in Old Malden and Grove wards delivering leaflets and survey canvass forms. Really getting a fantastic response from this with lots of offers of deliverers and poster sites - things are looking up for Conservatives in Kingston & Surbiton, despite what they say nationally.
Saw a really rather idiotic article in the Sunday Telegraph claiming that the reason the Princess of Wales fountain was not working was that some people were not treating it as a memorial but as an item of fun and allowing children and dogs to paddle causing dirt and some such. If the thing was a memorial why did they not take into account that litter might get into it. Which fool allowed them to design a monument that could be clogged by rubbish!!
The American elections are going to be very interesting and there is a very thoughtful piece about John Kerry in today's Sunday Telegraph that really stood out as exposing the mess that Kerry has got himself in over Iraq. Despite the press I understood where Michael Howard was coming from with his "..if I knew now about what I was told then I would not have voted for it position" but Kerry's position is bizarre...click here and it should take you there.
