Cons 24 Ind 5 Lib D 1 Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: primax on May 07, 2010, 06:37:35 pm I take it from the responses so far that no one is going to congratulate Richard Taylor? Even the most hardened of MP's on the political front congratulate their opposition on their victory, it is the very English way of doing things.
Congratulations Dick on your victory. Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: Victor on May 07, 2010, 06:48:44 pm I sent a message to Dick this morning on his mobile saying Well Done and he replied Thanks.
Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: Kim685 on May 07, 2010, 07:08:21 pm I congratulated Dick this morning on his facebook wall ;)

Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: Featherstonian on May 08, 2010, 12:05:25 pm Congratulations to Dick on getting elected i know how much you've wanted this seat.
Message to everybody has to be, now that the dust has settled and things have calmed down. " How about working together, gaining everybody's trust and getting Featherstone to where we all know it should be" Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: Kim685 on May 08, 2010, 01:11:57 pm " How about working together, gaining everybody's trust and getting Featherstone to where we all know it should be" Hear hear ;D Title: Re: Today's Election Post by: Forkhandles on May 08, 2010, 05:03:00 pm Whilever labour has a hate campaign against the indies i can't see it happening feath, its a shame the town will suffer for it. :( |
