In Speke labour made a big thing about frank roderick living in allerton and printed a picture of his house in order to whip up some envy. I don't say this in any tit for tat way, merely to illustrate that we all do it and perhaps we should all stop. I have a lot of time for Ben Williams, who represents a ward in the north of the city. I know he lives in Childwall but personally consider this wholly irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>Bizarrely, after the general election in 2005 I was asked several times (by people in one of the leafier parts of the constituency) where I really lived. When I asked what people meant they said they had heard that I didn't really live in Canterbury street garston and it was in fact a correspondence address. When I asked further I was told that they had been told (by someone from the labour party) that a Parliamentaty Candidate would live somewhere posher than that! I told them that no way would I lie about where I lived and in fact my area is a great place to live of which people should be proud and not ashamed. <BR/>They were rather taken aback. I said that I considered the allegations of lying to be defamatory - but then you never find these sorts of things in writing do you?<BR/><BR/>But you are right, this business of where people live or don't live is a massive distraction from getting on with the job. Will it stop - well I hope so but I doubt it!<BR/><BR/>Incidentally Louise, I have never met a binman or fake binman in Anfield so I would be grateful if you could edit your blog to remove that reference to me. I am not sensitive about being seen in Anfield - merely concerned that we all report things accurately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21780743.post-33773289706796599922007-05-05T00:47:00.000+00:002007-05-05T00:47:00.000+00:00The voters of Kensington realised how much use Jim...The voters of Kensington realised how much use Jimmy was when we turfed him out last year - Anfield residents will soon do likewise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
