How many meetings did he attend from when he joined UKIP until he resigned?

Remember, if you are tempted to ever be stupid enough to vote UKIP, this is the kind of dedication to the role of Cllr you can expect. Also absent again was Southgate Tory Cllr Liam Marshall-Ascough whose equally low attendance was raised in the local press last summer, when he went on a media-crazed ego-trip in trying to become the leader of Crawley Borough Council - only to discover he was unable to find two of his Tory colleagues prepared to propose and second his nomination. #epicfail Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605557971129574423.post-51750740340793476402014-02-23T10:57:00.656+01:002014-02-23T10:57:00.656+01:00He does live in LA.

It is going to be a hard slog to reach 1000 for a council full meeting debate, or 500 for a debate at the council's overview and scrutiny committee.<br /><br />There is heartening news which is that the UAF (Unite Against Fascism) have been in touch and are keen to help me get the signatures and spread the anti racist and anti UKIP (BNP in suits) message in Southgate. Faliure to act will allow Williamson et al to bully the people of Southgate with their extremist ideology. They must be stopped. To quote the famous last words of George Orwell, don't let it happen, it depends on you!<br /><br />Richard W Symonds<br />Independent candidate for SouthgateRichard W Symondsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8605557971129574423.post-55391636952898734452014-02-18T22:09:58.365+01:002014-02-18T22:09:58.365+01:00I spent a rather soggy afternoon door knocking in ...I spent a rather soggy afternoon door knocking in Southgate today but met some nice people. Of those who answered the door about 2/3rds were willing to sign which is a high ratio when I think of other petitions I have knocked on doors for. Some were grateful for me calling after I explained what was going in. One retired couple were UKIP supporters but still felt it right there should be a byelection. Some Tory voters felt very cheated at the defection. Not one person today had ever seen their UKIP Councillor other than in the paper although Southgate is a big area so I will give it time. I have 43 signatures so far which was a big effort and I could do with some help to reach 1000.
