A New Year Message from David Cameron

A New Year Message from David Cameron...

Dear Voters of Derby South, 2010 will be election year. After all the false starts and speculation, now we know for sure that the country will have a chance to vote for change this year. Within days, the gloves will be off and the arguments will begin. But as we enter this year of intense political activity, I think it’s important for all politicians to remember something. While those in the Westminster village...

What a Bunch of Clowns!

What a Bunch of Clowns!...

Click Here for one of the most ridiculous stories you’ve ever read about the Labour and Lib Dem politicians on Derby City Council. A bunch of Labour half-wits wanted a bit of cheap publicity.  To get it they charged into the council building with a signed petition on CCTV and a flock of journalists and cameras.  No one would take their petition so they knocked on the door of the council Chamber which was hosting...

The Sorry Saga of Our Hippodrome

The Sorry Saga of Our Hippodrome...

This recent story in the DET says all that needs to be said about the sorry saga of the Hippodrome.  On the left you’ll see a picture of me being briefed about its sad recent history by local conservative council candidate – Ashley Waterhouse. In my view Mr Anthony should sell it to Derby City Council for £1 and accept that he’s made a horrible mistake and handled the whole thing very badly. I wait...
