This is NOT Leech Watch

Clearly this new blog is NOT (mostly) about watching the Withington Lib Dem pretender John Leech MP. There are others doing this far better than I could ever hope to. Which is not to say Mr Leech has any support at all from myself. He appears to be, as your starter for ten, a fibber, a hypocrite and a bully. As I reported here this morning I have spotted "Withington Observer" making mostly reasonable points about Mr Leech's performance in various places. This morning I spotted this perfect renouncement, connected by a foolish Leech to a Transport debate.

I thought to myself that as long or as short as Mr Leech is an MP he can expect to be reminded of his appalling and apparently seriously over-funded campaign. In particular his dishing out highly misleading "hoax" leaflets to patients, many of them terminally ill, in the chemo- and radio- therapy waiting rooms at Christie Hospital.

Incidentally, he also chews gum as he mumbles incoherently, and he scowls constantly with a face-like-a-slapped-bottom in most of his public appearances. But these things we could forgive. His essential lack of principles we cannot.

A liar and a hypocrite maybe. We need to be careful about calling him a bully. Theres plenty in the labour party that are just as bad.

Really? As bad as Leech? If so, let's have them named and shamed rather than allowing them to provide cover for Mr Leech. Generally when a callow young man persuades a 70-year-old woman to part with £23,000 of hard-earned we expect them to end up in gaol, not in parliament. That became a case of loans-for-derision. The opposite of honours. And I'm not even sure that has been the worst of his bullying. Dishing out Christie leaflets to chemo- patients is pretty rough stuff don't you think?

Yes it is but I think some of the labour party's campaigning is pretty disgraceful as well. Especially some of the positions they take on soft drugs, which is misguided and wrong but populist. I don't incessantly moan about it, its just one of those things.

Chris, the guy is a shit MP, has delivered little and his party stand for nothing. Forget about Christies and show its us who have the vision for Manchester and the country whilst exposing his lack of principles on any issue at all.
