Being snowed under with elections at the moment, there are no elections in my vicinity but there are elsewhere in the North West of England, time is a bit short. To cut corners I am posting some stuff that has appeared in the local paper recently.
This one may sound fractured, between Fairtrade and the EU, but that was the editing. I did link them more clearly in my original, honest guv!
And this is the response from Gina Dowding, a Green who I was on the council with in Lancaster from 1999 to 2003.
As ever I think the Green response proves my point.

I like the way she jumps from 'free trade is bad' straight to 'privatisation is bad' as if it were a logical step (even if either standpoint were logical in the first place).
Ah, reader's letters ... it's like slow moving blogs for old folks.
Good old Lancaster. I was born there.
It's a small world. I was born in Manchester although I believe my family, going back to great grandparents and earlier, were from Shropshire.
The Beamans in my family come from the Midlands. Mostly originally from the Dudley/Cosely area. Then some moved to south Staffordshire.
I seem to remember an online surname map a couple of years ago and saw that Beaman is, as expected, a very Shropshire/Midlands name.
