Seems to me that that is the Establishment Way. <br /><br />This is also why I find this ridiculous scatter gun attacking of good people like them just because some are - understandably to a good degree - angry with Geoff Southern wholly ludicrous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-21582844554887559542010-06-22T22:43:48.339+01:002010-06-22T22:43:48.339+01:00Hi VHC.

I am an ex-Senator Syvret supporter and very disappointed about Deputy Southern standing as he did. But to try and blame the likes of the Pitmans for Stuart's defeat and make abusive comments as a handful, and even Stuart him self has done, is not right at all. We need all the good politicians we can get now, so well said and I hope your readers all listen to your wisdom.Let us also give Senator Les Gresley a chance before attacking him wholesale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-44393578518444342222010-06-21T19:12:55.116+01:002010-06-21T19:12:55.116+01:00Peter was great the night he spoke at Stuart Syvre...Peter was great the night he spoke at Stuart Syvrets public meeting<br />A man i wont forget in a hurry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-77045424966499621482010-06-21T19:09:09.478+01:002010-06-21T19:09:09.478+01:00I was at the St Lawrence hustings and was appalled...I was at the St Lawrence hustings and was appalled by the behaviour of one of the members of the public that interrupted Mr Remone Worels five minute introduction.

She has been an outstanding representative for us and has helped me personally and a number of people that I know. I will never again vote for Stuart Syvret however even if he comes back next year having been ordained as a minister of the church and sporting a halo. He never should have caused this election and should have kept on doing his job. He didn't and he paid the price.Good ridence.
