Our newly elected Conservative MP has gone against his promises made in his electoral communication. Without the Straight Choice I would not have been able to prove the doubters wrong. Keep up the good work. This is a victory for shared citizenship _ the age where information is shared with everyone.

It was Ian Murray's blatant dishonesty on his site that most incensed me, though his leaflets were pretty outrageous too. Are you after shots of web sites, as well?

We need to preserve them till the next election. All their promises and threats do continue remain relevant after the election -- esp when you look back at them in 12 months time. As to publicity, blame the bbc, press, power2010 and all the others who used us without citation which could have encouraged even more leaflets to be uploaded. We tried very very hard to get the word out. It’s not too late if you still have some election leaflets to upload.

But yet our economy must grow every year? We need more working age adults paying tax to pay into our pensions and healthcare? Surely this system is some kind of time bomb?

Do you know how buried under leaflets I am getting! We're lucky anything is working at all. I'm sure next week everything will have calmed down. Hang on hang on.

I've had one from the local labour team only this morning. http://www.robdyke.com/bec/2010/05/04/does-dawn-know-or-care-where-stonebridge-is/ Also, is the 'Analyse' competition still going? I got to ranking 6 before Analyse became Analysis..... I want the scraperwiki mug! Can we have a button for stock photography clangers?
