It seems the Lib Dems are getting desperately hot under the collar and it’s not the weather that’s causing the problem !
In a third election leaflet John Field - in his own words “your dependable, honest and local councillor” (!!) – shows all the signs of a man under pressure with an unprecedented and totally untrue attack on Suffolk Together and our candidate Michael Blakenham.
Field, who has been on Suffolk County Council for eight years, though one has to scour the records to find anything of any note he has actually said in that time, labels us as a small group of landowners with our own wish list and no achievements. The latter point is untrue but unlike him we haven’t had representation at County Council level for eight years during which the Lib Dems have done their usual sitting on the fence act on many critical issues. At District level much has been achieved and reported to the local parish councils.
And as far as being landowners is concerned it shows, yet again, an alarming lack of knowledge for our membership covers a whole range of people including, a very small number of landowners, but with the vast majority of members being ordinary local people – and yes, Mr Field, we even have some who live in Council - owned property and mobile homes !
He further accuses us of being a one - issue party campaigning on Snoasis and nothing else. Clearly he hasn’t read this website or, indeed, our election material that (a) doesn’t campaign on Snoasis but (b) lists all our policies on the key issues.
It’s clear that the Lib Dems are rattled by what they are hearing on the doorsteps. Remember their MPs have been named in the national expenses scandal – avoid the party that tells lies – and vote for Suffolk Together on June 4th.
