Political Games

It would seem Mark Harpers office tricks campaign has once again gone into overdrive, for in their latest leaflet put out for theirTory County Council Candidate,( In Touch with Cinderford) is clearly aimed at the June County Elections.

Now I do not normally comment on opposition leaflets, but when they are as contradictory as this latest offering,Then I feel it is worthy of Comment, if only to tell a few home Truths.

(Labour and LibDems want you to pay for pension), they proclaimed, yet what these Forest Tories quite conveniently do not tell the electors is that this pension scheme has already existed for many years.

We suggested that full time Councillors that are Cabinet members and have no other occupation should be allowed to join this scheme, a dozen people at best from County Council.

When we probed deeper we found that some Conservative Councillors on the Forest of Dean District Council were already members of this pension scheme that is run by the County Council.

What you might call dont do has we do, but do as we tell you, it would seem in this case yet again Forest Tories arrogance knows no bounds.
