The first electioneering leaflets from candidates for the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset Cuonty Council have started arriving through letterboxes.
The Squire and his close-friend Mistress Bones, who will both be standing in the Smalltown ward, feature prominently in the leaflet from the Somerset Illiberal Party and joyously share their intentions to work closely together to ‘Fix Highways Issues’, such as filling in pot-holes.
Quite how well this will go down with their fellow Illiberal Party candidate standing in Dullbridge, Councillor Jim Woodenman, remains to be seen. Cllr. Woodenman is the current Suitcase Holder for Roads and Transport (RAT) and has responsibility for filling in pot holes.
The Squire and the Mistress are also offering to ‘tackle anti-social behaviour’, with the Mistress promising that, if elected, she will keep Squire Teflon firmly under lock and key and will fit him with a GPS tracking system so that she knows where he is at all times. Here at SomersetClive we can’t think of any other reason to vote for her.
