More on the Cameron Visit

On Thursday I put a blog post up about how I felt that Labour had been using taxpayer's money to stop residents attending the David Cameron event in Brigg next week. My criticism related to the use of the taxpayer funded Labour office at the Council and the production of press releases spreading mis-information about the event, despite the fact the visit had nothing at all to do with the Council.

I also mentioned the fact that some of the staff working for a Labour MP wanted tickets too. They were concerned that I was accusing them of wrong-doing. They are entitled to apply to attend, although it is somewhat odd that so many people connected with Labour want to attend! You couldn't get me within a mile of blundering Gordon Brown!

Anyway, I amended my blog post as a gesture of goodwill to make it even clearer that I thought it was wrong for the Council to use taxpayers money to rubbish the event. Then after I amended it I started thinking just how silly the whole thing has become. I also started thinking about an event I attended on Friday night when we heard the story of a 24 year old soldier who lost a leg in Afghanistan but was absolutely determined to get back walking and get back doing what he loves, i.e fighting in the British Army. I also started thinking of the call I received a few weeks back regarding somebody I knew who was killed in an accident and I suddenly realised; it doesn't matter!

In the great scheme of things, Labour trying to crash and rubbish David Cameron's visit isn't a matter of life and death, it wont affect anything much and as such we should just leave them to their silliness.

There are more important things in life. If they want to obsess about us, so be it. At least in the morning we will still be here and in one piece.

I have a rule about not getting too deep on my blog and about keeping it strictly about my political activities locally. I have probably just broken the first part of that rule so I shall stop now!
