A period of silence
This blog's gone a bit quiet recently ... I don't think I'm going to be posting very much in the next 6 weeks at all, because there's a certain event on the first Thursday in May that I'm rather busy with at the moment... ! In due course you'll be able to find out more from our local website.
So good luck to everyone else taking part in similar activities... !

Seeking the Defectors
So where are all these Lib Dem Defectors to the Conservatives? I know they are trying to poach us - in my first 261 months as a councillor nobody asked me to switch sides, but I've now I've been given two opportunities in the 262nd.
All political parties have a few discontented souls in the council chambers of the land (and sometimes they have reasons for being discontented). I suspect that Cameron is saving up half a dozen defectors for a press conference at the start of the local election campaign. If he can't even do that, he's really doing poorly.
If it does happen, I suggest that our spokesman pinches an old comment from a New Zealand Prime Minister talking about emigrants to Australia. He should say "Their defection improves the average ability of both parties".

What's in a name?
Well, I felt a bit deflated after hearing the leadership election result - actually, rather more deflated than I expected, because rationally I know that all three candidates could do a good job. Maybe it's an inbuilt reaction I experience whenever a candidate I support loses...
Having said all that, Ming seems to have made a decent start. I heard him three times on the radio on Friday, and thought he was in good form.
Driving around after hearing him for a third time, I had a curious thought. My father, who was a sports fanatic (couldn't get married at the weekend because he would miss a Southend United reserve game) chose the name Christopher Ian Black for me after Chris Chataway the runner, and Ian Black, who I believe was a Scottish swimmer.
If instead of being born in 1958, I'd been born a few years later, what possible sporting forename might he have picked for me?
