Explain safe seat


I HAVE never written to your paper before but all the comments and letter about Jacqui Smith compelled me to.

Peter Bolt makes an excellent point in his letter in the Advertiser on June 24.

Jacqui Smith needs to explain to the people of Redditch why she applied for a safer Labour seat away from her here.

As Home Secretary she refues to pay the police what was ratified by an independent body, breaking all traditional rules of government policy.

Pay negotiations: It has never happened before she along with many thousands of others.

I recently recieved a letter from the Rt Hon Jaqui Smith listing five main priorities as a Redditch resident.

Well here are my five main points. It is not about Jacqui Smith as a person but what, or who, she represents.

1. Britain went to war in Iraq following misleading information. More people have died since costing Britain millions of pounds and many lives of our armed service personnel. Tony Blair has a lot to answer to.

2. Taxation will rise after the election Labour have spun so may lies about what will be needed to pay off this huge debt in future.

3. No vote on Europe which was in the Labour manifesto.

4. Labour put into place a supervising system and people to monitor the banks, people appointed by Gordon Brown the so called expert chancellor, what a failure.

5. Whatever excuses are made by Jaqui Smith regarding the misuse of public money. The rules may have been poor but can she honestly say every claim she made was necessary for her to do her job as an MP?

It has been reported in the local press that Jacqui smith sort the nomination for a seat in wolverhampton however she now intends to stand in Redditch with little hope of winning given labours poll ratings.

I have also read Ms Smith has also deinied these malicious allegations made by the Tory national press whose allegations were reported locally. Like your petitioning, Scott, full of inaccuracies. Why dont you get yourself some real work?

Well over 4500 Redditch people can't be wrong can they? or maybe they are because they don't share the same view as you and donna

Why is it the Labourites have to deny everything that is plain as a pikestaff to ordinary mortals, like the truth. Yes, the electorate just pluck stories out of the air or make them up for want of better things to do. Pull the other one Labourites, that's what you would like to think. When something they do not like, usually the truth, is put into the public arena, they duck, dive, cheat, lie and decieve like the skilled practitioners of the black arts that they are.
Then they go for the man, not the issue because that is to embarrassing for their crummy, disreputable party. What has Scott's work got to do with this issue, absolutely nothing at all, but it does raise the pertinent question, there is almost two and a half million people unemployed in this country at present and it is likely to hit, 3,200,000 early next year. If Bliar and Clown had accomplished everything that they said they would, unemployment would now be zero.
But again, like the truth, that will be denied and black will be said to be white by those who don't accept that their time is up.

Same old same old Barry,Ron and Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

You have tried using your other alias, before to con the Redditch public. No doubt you will again.

You cannot debate Barry,Ron, and uncle Tom just keep spouting regurgatated garbage so I will carry on regurgatating in true Barry B style.

When will you be answering the question we ALL would like to know, which is;

Are you are saying ALL MP's, including Camerkasi the Tory pilot, who claimed what he should not, have to resign?

I will repeat Barry NO YOU ARE NOT.

Just the LABOUR ones you think should, with the odd Tory in a safe seat thrown in to Hide your Tory writing job.


You Tory letter writers do not live in the real world.


Same old same old Barry and his other aliases.

Fruitcake fred why do you stoop to insults and name calling?
Last thing I knew we were living in a democracy where people are able to express their views.
I respect that your views differ to other bloggers but you do yourself a disservice by insulting people.
You are becoming an item of ridicule

It has been said by a labour party member,that they have been told to write letters to the local press saying that we are swearing at people refusing to sign. take last saturday a former labour councillor was shouting at us (witnessed by a national newspaper reporter) but the labour party never write in telling the truth

This is labours latest line of attack but it is not working the people of Redditch see straight through it.

I will continue my clean campaign i will let the labour party continue the dirty tricks and personnal attacks they are doing jacqui smith more damage than they realise!

We are not in Redditch towncentre today before you start writing in(11th july)

After what I've read in the Daily Mail today about Jacqui Smith's husbands p-o-r-n film viewing habits, I would suggest that Fred and co would do well to stop the unjustified name calling, or they could end up looking even more silly than they do already.

Same old same old Barry,Ron and Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Fruitcake fred stop name calling? contadiction of thought processes Barry in drag.

Scot, no wonder you are not doing domething useful. You can get elected with less than 30 percent of the electorate, so when you have a petition with 46,000 Redditch names, all legal and above board, then you can crow. It is over 2 months you've been going so that should take you till well past the next election, when Jacqui will already have been re-elected.

Back to Barry B; you have tried using your other alias, before to con the Redditch public. No doubt you will again.

You cannot debate Barry,Ron, and uncle Tom just keep spouting regurgatated garbage so I will carry on regurgatating in true Barry B style.

Helen, might have guessed you read the Daily Mail, have you ever tried a decent paper like the Guardian?

Was this the story you mean?

A multi-millionaire Tory MP at the centre of the expenses storm claimed £77,000 of taxpayers’ money to fund his second home while living rent free in a mansion owned by his parents.

Shadow solicitor general Jonathan Djanogly enjoyed the £4 million London property on the cheap while he ran up a small fortune in second homes allowance on his constituency home.

The revelations will stir disquiet among the Huntingdon MP’s local party, who met last week to quiz him about his excessive claims.

Let us her from you,and Barry, and what do you think of David Cameron's cheating and lying?

Helen, Barry, after all you do not come from Redditch so you must be a realy genuine people, HA! HA!


helen donovan, Evesham says...

Funny you should say that Mary, because the Daily Mail reported that the information WAS originally from the GUARDIAN.

Here you are:-

"In her first interview since her resignation, Smith reveals in The Guardian how she knew her husband Richard Timney had watched **** before".

Keep digging that hole "Mary!"

You cannot even quote correctly Helen, such is your way.

Poor Mary, a good Redditch woman by the way she writes, being attacked by Eveshan Tories, because the local ones sit back and do nothing.

We have now in this newspaper and another more pro Jacqui letters than anti, written by Redditch people.

There is no great uproar against her other than two unemployed locals, one of whom has a name for bad behaviour, bad language and no for havu=ing given no contribution to society other than jumping on bandwagons. I live quite a way from the Preston's but we know of them here such is their CV.

Yet you, and your other selves continue to support this person; will not answer questions about Tory offenders and have no political claim to Redditch other than Party Politics and attacing a key marginal.

If you look at what people in Redditch say for the main the support for Jacqui is strong.

A few Tory letter writers is all the opposition can muster, most letter writers from Redditch are not even real people.

For Instance Luke Strong, he is a character from CORONATION STREET. He frequently attacks Jacqui and others. Claims to live in ABBOTS WOOD CLOSE, but no one of that name lives there or in the rest of Redditch.

There are two houses with Jones's and Brunner's there and a few other names but no Strong's.

In fact there is not a Luke Strong residing anywhere in Redditch. My son knows this as he is a local salesperson.

I have written to the editor about it inder my full name Fredrick Fea ETC. but it was vnot printed.

He like Barry and the rest of you out of towners are just the Tory cental office campaign team.

You fool no one.

"You cannot even quote correctly Helen, such is your way".

What is incorrect Fred? I can post the whole article if you would like me to.

I am not an Evesham "tory". It might come as a great shock to you Fred, but just because someone disagrees with you, it doesn't make them a member of another political party.

You keep making a big deal of people from outside of Redditch commenting, yet I have proven several instances where Redditch posters have commented on other sites / MPs.

I AM real Fred, I can promise you!

I think fred you are not reading or interperating the message helen has written correctly
You accuse any blogger with a different view to your own as Tory or fictional.Is it too frightening to really consider that there are really lots of people who are not Labour supporters?The last local elections should tell you that much.

Why the repetitiveness? Is it because you cannot answer the comments without resorting to insults or name calling?

Have you Labour supporters forgotten how Tony Blair told us that we were 45 mins away from a nuclear attack from Iraq?Dont try and tell me that the Tories are liars without looking at what labour has done.Countless soldiers dying sent into a country on faulty evidence billions of pounds spent when our NHS is falling apart our economy is in freefall need I go on?

I've just run a check on Mr Fred's principle - there is no Fredrick (even though I thought there was an "e" in Frederick) FEA...etc living in Redditch let alone Churchill -

In fact there are no F. FEA's...etc in Redditch, nor a Collin M Dillon who was one of Mr Fred's supporters a while back. Come on Mr "Fred" - time to come clean, or should we say Robin King?

My Mum said the fact that Mary claims she "likes your style" (yeah . . . right) is a good way for Mr King to endorse comments about himself (or Mr "Fred") . . . . through an alias. She is right. Sussedamundo! (You liked my poem though didn't you)

Actually Helen, that's just it - he has. As a councillor, Robin King has access to the electoral role. Notice the same spelling mistakes between Robin/Fred?

My Mum says you would need access to know how many names are in each road. She knows Abbotswood Close and says there must be 70 houses there at least.

Mary Trueman seems to be off again with her selective comments about the Tory MP, what's his name, Gangooly is it or something like it.
Well, let's not start that game Mary because for every Tory you put up I can put two Labourites. What about the two Labour MPs - one an ex Minister who claimed for mortgage interest payments when they had no mortgages on which to pay interest. This wasn't just a simple case of bending the expense rule like most MPs of all parties, these MPs were thrown out of the Labour party and are being investigated by the Police for criminal offences. Not one Tory has been the subject of a criminal enquiry in this current bruhaha. Now come out with another Tory name and you will get two worse Labourites in return.
The reason why people are so thoroughly incenses with Jacqui Smith is that she is so brazen with it and so extreme. She was our Home Secretary, a High Office of State, she reduced it to the gutter level as if it was of no consequence and that dirty films and highly questionable expense claims were irrelevant.
I would be ashamed to say that I support her. So, Mary, if you wish to get away from Jacqi Smith, well and good, but wherever you get to on these streams, I think you will find it will always get back to her.

Actually Mr "Fred" (Redditch Labour Party) since you suggest it, "Sir" would be just fine with me.

As for a spy??? or Tory wotsit??? (too many beers again Mr "Fred"?) - but I can answer that. None of us here have voted yet - but you have certainly helped us making up our minds.

We know some pretty obscure blogging jargon, but your "litter fruitir" has got us all beaten! (We have assumed it is either latin - or a Robin King spelling mistake).

Mum wanted us to say enjoy your holiday at where-ever and she hopes the sun shines for you (Aahhhhhh) . . . . and that you get plenty of walking in, preferably involving piers!!! LOL!
