Lack of candidates forces local Tories to undertake taking intensive parachute training

Owl is hearing from a variety of sources that a number of local Tory candidates are having to be parachuted into county “divisions” well away from their home territory to give reform a run for their money in May’s county elections.

So far the list of those who have successfully completed their “jump” includes:

Brian Bailey of Exmouth set to contest Broadclyst (Currently EDDC councillor for Exmouth, Littleham)

Jenny Brown of Honiton set to contest Axminster (Currently EDDC councillor for Honiton St. Michael’s)

Ben Ingham of Exmouth/Lympstone (in many ways the most experienced jumper of them all) set to contest Seaton (Currently EDDC councillor for Woodbury and Lympstone)

  1. Actually, they’ve been rejected as candidates for the areas where they are known and foisted on areas where no one knows them?

  2. The prospective Tory candidate for Seaton and Colyton states on his leaflets how he wants to restore hospital services. It was the Tories that betrayed our community and got rid of the hospital beds and services. They did nothing to try to reinstate them the remainder of their time in office.

    Many of us decided after that never ever to vote for Tory again – not at any level. They might forget ththat betrayal but we do not forget!
