Conservative election victory

Mr Bloomfield said that its a shame that there had to be an election. The arrogance of the man! He presumably thinks that the very fact that he was proposed ought to have been sufficient for him to be put on to the council? Typical tory. No one else is entitled to a point of view except himself. And the voters of Shanklin would obviously elect a monkey if it was wearing a blue rosette! It is time that the socialists raised their voices!

How about the clear message that right wing extremists are not welcome whether they hide as independents or not

It is sad to see that some people cannot read and understand plain English

did Geoff Clynch just confess to being a fascist?

Tory council... "waste of public money" Doesn't that mean the same thing?

Winston Churchill said just after the war that the new Fascists will be the anti-Fascists, how true his words, and now you the british people keep voting them into power, is it a death wish to live under a dictatorship

Speaks volumes for the Lib Dumbs that they are behind the Independent ex BNP candidate and even better, no Green candidate in sight!

does he get to vote on the beach huts ??

whilst im not totall au-fait with the exact population of shanklin, i find it quite remarkable that mr bloomfield is pleased about how many people voted for him (guessing about 3 or 4 percent of the population). if u take out of the equation his family and friends and conservative club buddies he probably polled a similar amount of votes to that of an ex bnp member. way to go cllr bloomfield, go get em !!

hoorah, more tories !!!
