It's not me and I don't know who The_Spanner is.
From looking at the quality and style of the writing, I can deduce who it is probably not. It's probably not any of the names suggested so far.
I can think of lots of people who it might be. A lot of people would be intrigued and then concerned that a bunch of people are campaigning about one issue that has virtually nothing to do with Westbury or Wiltshire (apart from the fact that I dropped my big toe in during some personal "off-duty" comments) and are trying to drum me out of my role as their elected councillor.
At election time in 2007 and 2009, I did not have any time for "canvassing" - ie. door-knocking to drum up support. This is because it was all I could do to get one leaflet written, printed and delivered a week across the ward throughout the campaign period.
Even so, I got lots of people who flew out their front door upon seeing my leaflets to give me support and shake my hand.
I shall never forget one old lady who said in 2007: "I love reading about all the trouble people are trying to say you are in and you always come back again and again on top. It's amazing."
Lots of local people know what is going on and they know that, actually, I've not done anything wrong and that I'll set the record straight - whether my accusers like it or not.
There will be all sorts of people who will want to say their piece about people coming to Westbury to basically interefere in things here and to concoct some story about about why one of their most active councillors suddenly needs the boot, when all he's done is drop a clanger by mistake, who apologised immediately and then pointed out the real truth about something that scousers keep droning on about and are now abusing local people, their local groups, bodies and forums about.
