Hey Hey Mr Ankers: Have You Got a Letter For Me?



Tired of calling Chorlton people "Bastards" Mr Paul Ankers is now calling us "Dear Neighbour" in his traditional "blue ink" letter. This was printed by "WPS" which, and I'm guessing here, may well be Lib Dem MP John Leech's tax payer funded constituency office. This seems to be 90% used for political rather than constituency business.

Amongst other things the letter states that Greens and Tories are losing support, which simply is not true. At least of the Greens. Though it must be said I have yet to receive a Tory leaflet in this prime council seat. Have they been persuaded to stand down their campaign? In a Lib Con pact? Better than a Lib-BNP pact I suppose.

With the letter is yet another disreputable Focus - also printed by "WPS" - which leads on an alleged TORY CUT in neighbouring TRAFFORD. This is followed by the traditional police lies, the busted fortnightly bins lies, some Post Office lies, and a warning to beware Labour's "last minute nasties" supported by an out of context quote from the Torygraph.

The Post Office lies are priceless. Yes, Beech Road Post Office was closed. By cheating Post Office managers, responding to a Lib Dem backed EU competition initiative. But Clarendon Road Post Office was closed and sold on by one Mr Khan who even stopped Labour petitions being collected at his shop. It's a lie Paul Ankers. AND it's not in this ward anyway.

Chorlton Crown Post Office - also not in the ward - has of course been franchised, which Manchester Labour opposed for principled reasons of keeping public services public and protecting staff jobs. This included collecting user statistics over a ten-day period and monitoring the service for YEARS as well as collecting thousands of signatures.

Lib Dems opposed for opportunistic scaremongering reasons of cuts in service which have happily not materialised. In fact the service has been extended by eight hours a week. And they collected less than 50 signatures from TWO WARDS for the last of Adam Crozier's closures.

Lib Dems wrote the book when it comes to economic liberalism and privatisation. They claimed the credit for the independence of the Bank of England but not it seems for the same neo-Lib idea applied to the Post Office. They backed the EU competition legislation, and they have done next to nothing to stop any closure. In fact Ming Campbell's first "triumph" as leader was to push through a Lib Dem Post Office privatisation policy!

One Lib Dem councillor in neighbouring Whalley Range even jeered at local people who had fought the one succesful Post Office saving campaign in the area with his clottish predictions that it would be "closed within a year or two". He now owes us all a pint as his dire prediction was untrue!

The prize of dishonour goes to Paul Ankers' life story of living continuously in Chorlton. It simply is not true and misses out at least one address, never mind his fibs that he was "Local" in Fallowfield and Brooklands in previous campaigns.

He's not my effing neighbour. Him and Leech call us bastards and now they want our votes. They can go swivel. Why don't you spill the beans about this utter wanker and his stunt children?

Don't know why Paul Ankers and certain other Lib Dem candidates have been doing this "family man" approach. It's wrong to exploit your children and/or partner like this.

And if other parties campaigned on this or responded on this you'd have people being outed as NOT family men/women and you'd also have people's broken relationships and chaotic home lives bandied about in what is supposed to be a serious political decision making process.

It's about services and policies not about who has the most kids or lives nearest.

Have NEVER put a member of my family on a leaflet and think that in most circumstances this is not a wise thing to do.

The children have done nothing wrong. Let's not rope them in when discussing the sins of the father: Paul "Bastards" Ankers. Or his referee and their god parent Dave "Drunken" Hennigan.

" It's about services and policies not about who has the most kids or lives nearest". Why then are you making such a fuss about where he lives and for how long. Do people not have the right to move house? I though Paul was brought up in Chorlton with him going to St Johns and St Thomas Aquinnas. But maybe not!

it's not where he lives or doesn't live that bothers me it's his propensity to tell shameless lies without batting an eyelid that keeps me awake.

Kesa:

LOL think Lib Dems are ABSOLUTE WANKERS in using family photos and local-ness so very consistently and inappropriately. Especially Family Photographs.

I'm bringing it up because it's such a fetish for Ankers ... though of course Leech lives out of his ward, not even in an adjoining ward. And he has no family photos to use. Just name dropping.

Once this stuff is introduced they COULD be damned by the stuff. It is (a) CHILD EXPLOITATION and (b) DEEPLY DISHONEST IN MANY CASES.

I'll leave it there. But brainer readers may work out why he's back at the family home and they may think he's a fool for making a fetish of family and his locality. I'd tend to agree.

But as ANON 14:32 says the FUCKING LIES from LIB DEMS about just about everything are the WATCHWORD in their disgusting campaign.

Correction: sorry, on new boundaries Chorlton Park ward DOES adjoin Whalley Range ward, though Leech is at the opposite end of that ward.

Isn't that the guy with the bottle of beer hanging out of his fly.

Lib Dem no politics,local man and generally it is a white middle aged man do play up all this family stuff, I went to the local school stuff ect.

So if and when they go round called the voters bastards the electorate should kick to twofaced nice guy image into electoral oblivion as if they have no politics and are a bunch of wankers what are they?
