Bic Basher Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Through my door this morning is the Lib Dem 'Focus' newsletter which includes the words "Your local Lib Dem councillors" has been delivered to my door with news from East Dulwich ward.To my knowledge, College Ward has one Tory and two Labour councillors, so why are the Lib Dems sending out their publications to people who didn't vote for them in 2010?

TheArtfulDogger Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 They are hoping there is a sun reader or two in the ward that they can persuade to vote for them next time... I got one today in the East Dulwich area despite having a "no junk mail" notice up, which makes me think the lib dem leaflet delivery person must have the reading age of a Sun reader not to have understood the instructions... Thankfully it is recycling day today ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26321-lib-dem-newsletter-being-delivered-in-college-ward/#findComment-586703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArtfulDogger Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's considered junk by me if you didn't ask for it or want it :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26321-lib-dem-newsletter-being-delivered-in-college-ward/#findComment-586708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-e-dealer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Think of it as a gift. Lib Dem literature will be pretty rare after the next election when they have gone down the tube with all of their empty promises. Might even be collector's items.

Penguin68 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Political boasting is (junk), as is political advertising from parties I don't support, UKIP or the BNP for example. Apart from the contact details of councillors who don't represent me there was precious little 'information' in the leaflet.

DulwichFox Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 One thing The Green Party does not do. Well you cannot go on about Concervation whilst posting tons of paper literature through 1000's of doors. Fox.

The Greens producing and distribute leaflets. I always considered it rather ironic, really.

I don't recall being asked) want the Dulwich Hospital site to become either a primary school or housing for oldies, and that the Lib Dems want the old police building opposite the Actress to become the ED police station so that the police don't have to return to Camberwell for their breaks :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26321-lib-dem-newsletter-being-delivered-in-college-ward/#findComment-587182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So 'information' - results of a possible survey (how many? how chosen? when? not disclosed) or perhaps just received opinions and a statement about liberal policy on policing - a bit of information, then (about liberal policy) - but nothing about the police response, if any, costs, how it would work etc. etc.I don't mind the liberals wanting to tell me things - but I'm not an elector for the ward which is telling me, so a bit of a waste of effort, really.

Pugwash Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If I recall correctly there have been several community council meetings which have asked about the proposed use of Dulwich Hospital. Also NHS Southwark/PCT have also had public meetings re health care in Southwark and people have put in various proposals re school/police/care home etc.Despite being in a LD ward - we get leaflets from labour and Tory councillors informing us what is going on in Southwark.Perhaps someone wanted to wind you up a little by posting the LD leaflet!!

mynamehere Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 have I missed something here? is southwark owned by a particular group or party? do parts of southwark vote exclusively? is my voting checked by someone and when I don't vote as my neighbours vote will I be strong armed by the majority? To paraphrase someone above did no one in college vote LD and might no one who voted other might they not in the privacy of the voting booth try another party in the future for infinitely many reasons?do not, do not assume party affiliation for me. I have voted each and every of the not extreme right wing nastiesand I have lived in completely normal countries with rigged party votes and corrupt party systems and disenfranchised votersand I live in southwark and I have been attacked physically ( !!!! ) by party affiliated fat white male bouncers because they decided I dissed one of theirsIt is beyond me the political tone and name calling taken by people on this forum who think they own political truthfrom pugwash above:If I recall correctly there have been several community council meetings which have asked about the proposed use of Dulwich Hospital.

Bic Basher Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 My issue with the Lib Dem propaganda is that they didn't get enough votes to represent me in College Ward. It's the work of the two Labour Cllrs and the Tory which are of interest and have no issue when their respective parties send their newsletters through the door.A newsletter from ED ward has no relevance to me or how I'll vote in the next council election.

James Barber Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Artfuldogger,No junk mail is tricky becuaqse some are happy ot get political stuff and others not.If you email me your address I'll make a note to ensure you at least don't get any letters from us.Hi the-e-dealer,Which local election promise have I broken?Hi Mattydj,Sorry about the 7.30am but when should we deliver leaflets when we have day jobs and families?Hi Bic Basher,It doesnt work quite like that. You elect ward councillors. Buut the majority of policies are decided by the majority of all ward councillors. So I'm delighted that local Labour and Tory politicians are now supporting our campaign to have an ED Police station.Hi Sue,Dulwich Hospital site we hand delivered survey to all East Dulwich ward homes. For knocked on doors for most homes to try and explain the survey to encourage responses. our policies are based and informed on those responses.
