Well dine to David Nuttall, great count for Richard Baum, labour candidate can get back to her career. Sad to see BNP get so many votes, I did not think Bury North had so many stupid people

David Nuttall was a beneficiary of the fallout from David Chaytor’s demise. Having contacted him about education and foreign policy I was surprised at how ignorant and light weight he was. I cannot believe that the Conservatives have had someone of his calibre standing.
I think that it will be difficult to have an MP that it’s hard to respect.
Nationally the BNP all but collapsed so that’s good news at least.
I think the Tories will be in for a short period at best.

Fantastic news! We can now look forward to even more higher than the national average Council Tax increases, no grit on the roads during winter, bins not being emptied and Bury Council staff being treated like cr@P.
Please feel free to add to the list…
