Excellent letter, Jim. Not so long ago these shenanigans would have resulted in a full-on Roger Cook doorstepping job on De Vecchi, and some great TV!

But our enemies are not countryside people. Norman Baker grew up in Aberdeen and suburban East London. Several of the Lewes councillors are Londoners who've moved out.Pavilionaire said:Do you really think that the Lib Dems are on their own on this one? Or that the Tories would have acted any differently if they were in control of LDC?
I don't understand why some people see it as a party political issue, it's all about country folk not wanting the urban unwashed football fans within 5 miles of their beloved town. It ticks all their boxes - Countryside vs Town, urban encroachment, class warfare, football hooligans.

I think the priority should be to get the truth across to the delegates. We want to embarrass Lewes Council and get the Lib Dem hierarchy to express their support for Falmer.

The important thing is we get attention from the Lib Dem hierarchy, get them to hear the facts and get them to voice their support.
We MUST do both. The Lib Dems won't listen if there isn't a march though. Your Scottish LibDems are probably more reasonable and less class conscious than the slime in Lewes. Don't kid yourself.scotjem said:Sorry, I don't quite see the benefit of a march this time. Whilst we are all outside, Norman Baker and co. are inside busily spreading their lies.

There is a great deal about Falmer (public transport, the democratic way B&H council went about it), that sits very closely with Lib Dem philosophy.

We will never change the minds of Baker and the Lewes DC mob but we can burst the LibDem lie about how close they are to local communities. They seem oblivious to the fact that the Albion aren't just Brighton's team but represent the whole of Sussex.scotjem said:Sorry, I don't quite see the benefit of a march this time.

So, now we know - in LDC, doctoring a photograph is absolutely fine. What code of conduct allows that sort of behaviour?
