CNJ 26th April 2012
Camden New Journal has today reaffirmed what Camden residents have long suspected of supporting and promoting only left wing political parties!In this weeks copy it describes the campaign for Camden Town with Primrose Hill as being a 2-way by-election, even though this is very much a 3-way marginal seat. With very strong support for the Conservatives.
I fully support an independent press and know Richard Osley very well when he spent time with myself and my colleagues at Conservatives Conference in Manchester last year and in 2009. We had much in common to talk about.
But come on Richard you have got to be kidding by not presenting an equal opportunity in your article, as a very active Conservative Candidate tackling many of the key local issues such as Education, Housing, HS2, Policing and indeed being the local school governor for Primrose Hill Primary for more than three years in Camden Town with Primrose Hill, in today's edition of CNJ.
I also note the CNJ has not published any of my letters for the past three weeks, despite being a candidate standing in your local ward right on your doorstep!
Remind me to drop my leaflets through CNJ's letterbox!
Since the CNJ and the Labour candidate did not attend the HS2 Community Forum meeting at Swiss Cottage some weeks ago. However, CNJ did publish my "Groundhog Day Talks" (about the HS2 meeting) letter on 5th April, the last letter in fact that CNJ published!
But I was very much there and asking very pertinent questions on HS2 to the Community Forum HS2 consultation team.
So to bring you up to speed on this vital issue concerning Camden today I would be very happy to extend to you an exclusive interview for my opinions on the vital matter of HS2 to Camden so Richard I am waiting by my phone for you!
As the candidate for a major party in a 3-way by-election to be given just a cursory swift mention at article end, draws one to suspect that the CNJ is biased perhaps, no surely not, that could not be true could it Richard?
On a day that Mr Murdoch of the News International is up for very serious questions today on the Leveson Inquiry. One could have reasonably have thought that a free local newspaper such as the Camden New Journal would have demonstrated greater impartiality. But as I said you can extend to me an exclusive interview for the Election Day CNJ special you have planned!
But Richard, we know each other very well after nearly 6 years on the circuit so I shall let my favourite quote end this piece.
