Southend Conservative councillors are accusing the Independents of not having a party ideology.

I thought that is what Independents are supposed to be?

I think it’s good, I wish we had more non-party ideologists on the council. It was a party ideology that led to the Nazi holocaust.

I have just received a leaflet through my door from Conservative councillor Anna Waite, again attacking the Independents.

Clearly this is a concerted attack.

The Tories used to be called the “nasty party”.

With all the broken election promises, nasty blogs and literature. It seems they have not changed at all and I certainly will not be supporting them.
