Lewisham Council Whitefoot by-election starts for Catford and Downham voters (From News Shopper)

Voters are spoilt for choice. On the right,a DemCon who feels guilty about cutting everybody's benefits, and a ConDem who boasts about it. On the left a candidate from the Labour party, responsible for closing all the local pubs & covering the streets with cigarette butts, and a candidate from a Militant Tendency Front. On the wings a candidate from a party who blames the EU for roadworks in Southend Lane, and another one who wants to save all the whales in the Ravensbourne. Who said local politics are dull?

A Sad day for Lewisham, Residents had a clear choice aand stayed at home. Do we really need another Labour Yes to cuts person?.
Think Goldenbroomboy need to get your facts correct, People before Profit has nothing to do with Militant or SWP, just because a party states it opposes cuts and staff sackings does not make it of the Left. People before profit has people from all sectors including Lib Dem, Tory and Labour x members, as well as huge numbers of people who have not voted before due to lack of choice.If you had gone to whitefoot you would have seen real people, real community people at the polling stations and on the streets getting the message out.Sadly in Lewisham, Residents are Happy to vote Labour reguardless of what Cuts it makes, what Closures take place. Labour Voters in Lewisham, are like Turkeys voting for Christmas.
