Lib Dem Spin

Watching the Liberals spin.



It seems that Liberal Democrats have learnt nothing from last year and are still trying to pull the wool over residents’ eyes. Here are some examples:



Spin one.



Liberal Democrats reported the problems with street lamps in the Briars to Harlow Council.



Fact



It took Staple Tye Conservatives, Harlow Council, Essex County Council and Cabra Residents Association to go out in the pouring rain and log every light that was not working. This is how the lights not only in the Briars but Copshall Close and Ayletts Field are now working. Even with the lights on, the Liberal Democrats were nowhere to be seen.



Spin Two



One of Staple Tye’s invisible Liberal Democrat Councillors, Lorna Spenceley, has been nominated to become a governor of a local school.



Fact



After Councillor Lee Dangerfield was nominated to become a governor at this school one of the Liberal Democrat’s partners-in-crime in Harlow, Labour County Councillor Tony Durcan, stepped in and put forward Councillor Spenceley to become the Local Education Authority nominated Governor.



We wonder why, after 16 years as a Councillor in Harlow, did Councillor Spenceley suddenly decide to become a school governor? Anything to do with the local elections in May, where Conservatives’ Dave Kirton is hot favourite to take another Liberal Democrat scalp?



However, Councillor Dangerfield was then nominated as the School’s Community Governor, so it looks as though their behind-the-scenes manipulating has backfired!



Keep an eye on the Liberals’ spinning machine!
