Some people are not content with having engineered one’s election defeat, they have to rub it in with demonstrations of breathtaking hypocrisy.
Take for example Mr B who was one of the signatories of my opponent’s nomination form. Within minutes of arriving home from the count, and unlikely to be best pleased with the result, the phone rings. My wife answers and then asks me if I am willing to speak to Mr B? “No!” I say. “He doesn’t want to speak to you at the moment” says my wife. “But I only wanted to congratulate him” says Mr B. “David didn’t win, he lost by eight votes” says my wife. “Oh!” says Mr B – “ but I looked on the County Council’s website and it says he won”. “Then the website is wrong” says my wife and puts the phone down.
Late last week another comedian has a letter published in the local paper intimating that my defeat would be a loss to the community. Faint praise one might think until you realise that the author of the letter also signed my opponent’s nomination form, and is thereby one of architects of the so-called “loss to the community.”
Defeat I can take, in spite of the dirty tricks, but I get annoyed at those who just want to rub it in.

What about Mr N, he hasn't been around much since the elections, does he hide in a corner and hope it will all go away. And what about the guppy, does he think people will forgive him; (don't worry he won't be able to read this, it has got more than 3 letter words)
Mr N is on holiday in the USA, gone to pay homage to his hero Bush. Says it all doesn't it
Aha, so now we know who rigged the USA elections !!
maybe you wouldn't of lost the election if you had put as much effort into your campaign as you do your petty, playground bitching of your former fellow councillors. The comment 'Breathtaking Hypocrisy' is proven true.
By the way the guppy may not read this but his friends and supporters do, so comments should be private if you do not want them made public knowledge.
Hello Ironica,
Thank you for your constructive comments. I am not prepared to engage further until you confirm your true identity.
If you are who I think you are, you have no difficulty commenting on Glyn Davies' blog under you rel name.
Who is the Guppy? You and MRB have the advantage of me.
