Just a thought, what if someone had stood as the ‘What is the point and
I don’t give a fuck but I won’t lie to you’ candidate ... there would have
been a good chance of them winning that election ... However, sadly, in
Bishops Cleeve, in 2013, Bob Bird, Conservative, beat Peter Richmond,
LibDem, in a 2 horse race where John Hurley, Labour, came a sorry third
... in an election where only 3,011 Bishops Cleeve voters bothered to lick
their pencils and put an x on a piece of paper!

THE VILLAGE HAS GROWN SINCE 2013, BUT FROM PETER RICHMOND
(standing again) WE HAVE THE SAME OLD LIBDEM TOSH ABOUT IT
BEING A ‘2-HORSE RACE’ AND THAT VOTING FOR ROSE PHILLIPS OR
CATE CODY IS A WASTED VOTE ... (bloody cheek!)
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, IF YOU HAVE A VOTE ... PLEASE USE IT TO
END THIS ‘GOOD OLD BOYS’ 2-HORSE RACE!
