Wokingham Today

Economical with the truth

- David Anderson, via email

Having read the letters from Clive Jones and Andy Croy, I could not let their comments go without adding my own.

Clive Jones claims to have campaigned effectivel­y in giving Wokingham voters a choice, a choice of what? A party that repeatedly claims that it has done this and done that in local areas, yet is just piggy backing on the works of others, with little input from the Lib Dems, just check any of the various council minutes and see what lack of impact this party actually has.

A flashy multi-pictured leaflet is just that, no substance behind the headlines where Mr Jones repeatedly photobombs everything. He then rants about the layout of the Conservati­ve party as to how they have varying members, what does he expect in a group of people – totalitari­anism where all must obey?

Yet this is a man who claims to fear for the Northern Ireland peace process, yet apparently is quite happy to belong to a party that forced its own leader to quit because of his Christian beliefs.

I loved the comments from Mr Croy regarding Labour’s vision of the future and how Theresa May will be throwing taxpayers money at Northern Ireland.

Interestin­g that this comes from a man whose party has promised the Earth to all and sundry with little regard for how this was either to be achieved, or paid for, but then that has never bothered Labour in the past and will not in the future.

It is also easy to gain voters when your party is making promises to remove student tuition fees, increase benefit spending, increased child care etc, especially when you know that you will never have to step up and carry out the promises/bribes.

I was amazed at the turn out by students during the election, but saddened that they had fallen for the same “bribe” promised by Mr Corbyn as had been used by Nick Clegg, thankfully he was found out, just proving how economical the Lib Dems and Labour are with the truth.
