Labour Parliamentary Candidate Lacks Credibility
Posted: Fri 10 Apr, 2015 2:27 am
I find Labour's Katherine Chibah totally lacking in credibilty to the point where she appears to have little idea what she's talking about.
"The Tories' decision to u-turn and allow Waitrose to leave Hertford and move out of town, has left residents completely dismayed and it leaves the future of our county town in serious doubt."
What "Tories' decision" is she talking about? The Tories as a [local] group or political party made no such decision. What happened was that one individual local Conservative councillor representing a Hertford Ward made an individual decision to support the planning application to build an out-of-town store at Great Amwell, much to the chagrin of other local Conservative councillors. It wasn't Tory policy. To present it as such is deliberate misinformation.
"I put forward to a plan that would improve our town centre including handing over empty shops to local entrepreneurs"
How are you going to do that then, Katherine, given that these empty shops are privately owned? Please donl't make pledges you have little chance of being able to fulfill.
"The Tories nearly cost us our Post Office and once again they have shown their complacency"
Seriously? What did "The Tories" have to do with a contractual dispute between a Post Office franchisee and the leaseholder of the building? Has it escaped your notice that local Tories were campaigning to keep the PO open? I seem to recall that Katherine Chibah blamed the [near] closure of the post office on the privatisation of The Royal Mail. Surely she must know that The Royal Mail has nothing to do with running post offices, which are actually run by a nationalised limited company (Post Office Ltd) and nothing to do with The Royal Mail (Royal Mail Group Ltd).

Still, never let basic facts get in the way of a political campaign.
