get those garden stakes in!

29 April 2010
By Melanie Newman, Hannah Fearn
With the general election only a week away, Times Higher Education spent a day on the stump with three academics running for national office. Migration, social responsibility and public lavatories were all hot topics - but what about higher education policy? Melanie Newman and Hannah Fearn report from the hustings

ANNELIESE DODDS, LABOUR



Anneliese Dodds is canvassing at two sheltered-housing blocks.

Her phone keeps ringing: a batch of campaign leaflets has been printed with a hotline number that is "all zeros", so everyone is calling her mobile instead.

At the same time, Roger Hayes, an experienced campaigner who is accompanying her on the round, is nagging her about "stakes" - roadside posters - that have not been set up.

"We had some weightlifters helping out; they've put a lot up," says Dr Dodds, a lecturer in social policy at King's College London, who is standing as the Labour candidate for Reading East. Mr Hayes seems unsatisfied.


Many of the two dozen or so sheltered-housing residents who open their doors to Dr Dodds are undecided about how they will vote.

One resident tells her to go away. Another can't talk because she is cooking and "all oniony".

A third says that he is "voting Greenpeace", as they are going to raise his pension. He has clearly confused the environmental action group with the Green Party.


Higher education remains firmly off the agenda, while the closure of public lavatories is a recurring issue.

About a third of the residents are staunch Labour supporters, although not all recognise Dr Dodds.

"You look fatter in your photograph," says one, "and your hair's different."

Most of the candidate's supporters agree on one thing: they cannot stand David Cameron, the Conservative leader.

"He's so cocky," says one. "He'll look after the rich, it's always the same."


A floating voter invites the academic in to make the case for Labour.

"I could never vote Tory because I come from a small mining village," she says. "I've always voted Labour, but I think it's time we gave the Lib Dems a go."

Dr Dodds warns her that Reading East is a "tight marginal" between Labour and the Tories.


"But nobody addresses the important things," the resident says. "I paid tax all my life, now I'm being paid my pension and I'm being taxed again. No other country in the world taxes you twice.

"And I read the paper the other day and somebody was saying they were proud to be on benefits. You can take the 'great' out of Great Britain, and you can blame the politicians for that."

"I agree it's difficult if you've worked hard," Dr Dodds says. "But things would be better under Labour than under a Tory government."

The resident finally agrees: "All right Anneliese, I'll vote for you."


Back at the office, Dr Dodds' campaign coordinator Harry is frantically cleaning up.

"I've just had Special Branch here. We've got a minister visiting at 1pm tomorrow."

"I can't do that; I've got to be at work," Dr Dodds says, disappearing downstairs to write her speech for a hustings that evening.


draw your own conclusions. I know exactly where Anneliese was and some of the same people are probably still there, especially George.




the leaflets with the wrong phone number - take a bow, Mr Howarth.



of the two journalists by-lined in this piece (from the Times Higher Education Supplement) one is known to me, in fact we spent Christmas together, but the other one wrote the piece about Anneliese. Good on you Roger for all the work you do - getting any help from the boys? Thought not.



Immigration is another concern. "We're swamped," says a pensioner. "Sometimes when I go into town, I think I'm the only British-born person here."

Basher trashes Anneliese

here is what he has to say about the Eddie Izzard visit to Reading:

Yesterday something special. Its been in the papers so its not a secret.

Went with a some Uni students to see Eddie Izzard speak in support of the Labour Party. A great way to spend and afternoon.


Eddie was really refreshing, not too much gas and very straight forward, he should be standing for election.....

What's wrong with the parliamentary candidate you've got in Reading East Basher?  Sour grapes, think it should be you?  A week before the election and you start saying you'd rather have Eddie?  Srsly, leaving aside the abominable Howarth-esque spelling and grammar, why on earth did you do that?

le singe est dans l'arbre

French schoolchildren learning English (which they are about as successful at as English ones learning French) learn an equally meaningless phrase (the title phrase means "the monkey is in the tree" for the linguistically challenged) namely "my tailor is rich".  Nobody knows why.  Pictured is the great Eddie Izzard, in Reading to support its Labour candidates.  Reading East.  Of course.  Is there another Reading constituency to get your picture taken in? But the Silly Boys haven't updated their website (which STILL says Martin Salter is "your Labour MP" despite my pointing out this blooper some time ago) and neither has Nasty Naz, in the latter case for about 11 days.  Oh dear.

is this the first lolcats election?

did you know too that there is an online citizens' project to translate the Bible into lolcats?  (God is Ceiling Cat)

bigotgate

well, forgive me here in "far-flung" (as Mr Salter used to call anywhere that was not in Reading East, including most of Reading West) eastern France for being out of touch with events in Dear Old Blighty, but (a) what did that Mrs Duffy actually SAY?  I have not seen any reports of what inspired Gordon to call her a bigot.  I wonder why?  Surely if her remarks were reasonable and pleasant and constructive we might have been allowed to hear them? and (b) what was Gordon doing in Rochdale of all places?  Trying to win it back for Labour?  after Lorna Fitz's glorious record?

he's not from Borneo

but someone who was at university with him says his nickname there (Warwick I think it was) was "Wild Man".  This is the man who is in charge of the elections in Reading.  Don't forget to vote.  I won't.  If my ballot paper gets here in time for it to be sent back in time.

Monday 26 April 2010

well, who did you think they would support?

now all the Tories need is to get the Master on side and the namby-pamby Doctor and his snivelling sidekick will be history

ask the candidates

in Reading to make a pledge that they will not, if they achieve control of Reading Borough Council, use council facilities for party political purposes.  Those who should know better have commented on this blog as follows

Wrong. It is been paid for for at least the last 7 years. What you did for Abbey Ward meetings in the 90's is ancient history.

24 April 2010 19:59

the point was about booking rooms in the Civic Offices.  It was in 2002, about seven and a half years ago, that a council officer's reply to a question from me revealed that rooms were being booked, free, on a regular basis for Reading Labour Party.  For the specific booking I asked about (made by Cllr Zim One Lovelock) an invoice was produced retrospectively.

they should have ignored my post.  Now they have admitted corruption in Reading Borough Council under Labour control, all candidates should be able to pledge that they will not, or will no longer, use council facilities for party political purposes unless paid for at the commercial rate.

outre-Manche

I thought readers would like to see the cover of this weekend's 'Le Monde' magazine - hein?

the eyes do not have it

I am to have cataract surgery on my right eye on 5th May.  Most people develop cataracts with advancing age, and are usually much older than me when they get them, the surgery to fix them is quick and simple to do I am told.  Apparently there is something hereditary here - my brother had cataract surgery two years ago and he is younger than me.  Anyway, from first realising there was a problem I had to wait five weeks for an appointment with the ophthalmologist who was recommended to me, but that was because he is semi-retired and does not work full-time, I could have had an appointment with another doctor the same week.  Then I had to wait a week for a consultation with a surgeon, because he was on holiday.  The surgery is to be done on 5th May, which is eleven days after I saw the surgeon.  Even now the standard waiting time in the UK is 18 weeks.  It is to be done in a private clinic and will cost 450 euros.  But if I were in the French state social insurance system I would have had the same appointment and the same surgeon with the same waiting time, the state system just would not have covered so much of the cost.  According to the Private Healthcare UK site the cost of a cataract operation on one eye in a private clinic in the UK is between 1,600 and 2,700 pounds.

An election is coming, I hope I will not be too bloodshot to watch the UK results on 6th-7th May, and I suggest the difference between the UK and France in health provision might be something that candidates and parties could consider.  And those on waiting lists in the UK could come here and have it done for 400 quid.  Worth it if you are losing your sight, hein?

a helpful suggestion

the Silly Boys website has "Your Labour MP Martin Salter" on its sidebar.  No he is not.  Has not been since earlier this month.  Quite some time ago.  Reading has no Labour MP now and frankly I will be surprised if in a legal and non-fraudulent election (you reading, Singleton-White, the fraudster's friend?) Reading gets a Labour MP for at least a generation to come.

they call him slim shady

you know who I mean, the great Eminem that is.  Oddly enough it was Shaun Woodward MP, who I do not think is a rap fan himself, though I could be wrong, who introduced me to rap by telling me that a certain Tory candidate in the 2001 election had the nickname Slim Shady, thereby inducing me to listen to the song, having never listened to Em before.  Through white rapper Em I came to others, and to me rap is 21st century poetry.  The best rap is done with humour - nearly all Eminem's songs are funny - and now I listen mostly to French rap.  Did you know that seven out of every ten rap tracks released worldwide are in French?  One of my current faves is a combo called "Sexion d'Assaut" (work it out) with a ditty called "Casquette à l'Envers",  which means "Cap on Backwards", but I digress.

I was interested to note that Shaun Woodward himself visited Reading recently, to give support to the Labour campaign.  Apparently he visited the office in the Oxford Road and Martin Salter was also there.  No mention of Anneliese, locked in the attic again I guess.  I remember those campaign rooms in Reading very well.  Packed with men drinking tea and watching football on TV and sneering at anyone who suggested actually going out and contacting people.

I am told that that is what Shaun did, without the sneering though.  Might be a nice idea to go out and meet the voters, people.  People?  Anyone? (sound of tumbleweed)

oh and happy St George's Day.  Did you know Shirley Temple was 82 today?

and we have the flag flying from our balcony today, though perhaps fortunately nobody appears to have noticed here in France

Roger Sym though is a decent bloke as I recall - the EC of Reading and District Labour Party is a poisonous nest of vipers.  It meets in the Civic Offices at public expense.  thanks Was for getting hold of this missive, keep 'em coming.

Reading West

Nasty Naz has not updated his website for more than a week now.  Has he given up?  Is communicating with the electorate no longer what candidates do?  And Anneliese is now pretending to live in Reading West, at an address I am told is that of Miss Lloyd, the cerebrally-challenged former assistant to Mr Salter.

Reading West



BENSON Daisy (11 Somerstown Court, Reading RG1 7TY) - Liberal Democrats

Can't be bothered with the rest of Reading West, as it is a constituency in which I have little interest, just thought I would point out that she lives in Reading East. A fact.

vote very soon!

someone, who may be one of the Reading boys, has commented on the previous post to the effect that it is "disgusting" that I can vote in the UK.  I can understand people taking the view that you should vote where you live, and given the choice I would vote in France in national elections, but am not a French citizen so do not have that right.  But - "disgusting"?  Interesting choice of word.  Perhaps the commenter would care to develop the argument, or others would like to comment.  I haven't let the comment through because of some of its language.

Tuesday 20 April 2010

vote soon!

I am told that postal ballots will be going out from Lambeth on Friday, which does give me time to vote for Kate Hoey, which I am very pleased to do.  However as a resident in France but not a French citizen, I can only retain my vote in UK national elections for 15 years all told, and my residence in Lambeth, the last place I lived in the UK (and a fab one it is) becomes less meaningful as time goes on.  But that is another matter.

I have a colleague who is registered to vote in Reading West, and who will be doing so, I understand by proxy, and who is a genuine floating voter.  I wonder if readers can advise?  I have told him that if I were registered there I would vote Windisch, no contest, despite my disagreement with the Greens mainly on issues of foreign policy  However he will of course decide for himself.  I have another colleague who is registered in Cheltenham, and on researching the matter for her benefit I discovered to my surprise that the Greens are not standing there.  Cheltenham has had a LibDem MP, Martin Horwood, and the Greens are saying that he is excellent on their preferred issues and asking their supporters to vote for him.  Hmmm.

well hello!

if you look at Mr Salter's "website", which I did by mistake this morning, you will see this, that is "Hello, test message".  There are two of them, one called "Article test" and the other called "Blog test".  If you want to write articles or a blog on a website how hard can it be?  Test messages are not necessary.  Elementary competence will do it for you. 
Sigh.

it's catching

now that Martin Salter has disappeared from the Reading scene it seems that others have taken on the mantle - and the constituency map he used which led him to spend almost all his time, and all his photocalls, in Reading East.  Here is Cllr Willis rather entertainingly on the subject.  Regular readers will remember that Daisy Benson is similarly geographically challenged, going so far as to move into a property in Reading East while believing she was living in Reading West.

Oh dear.  Doesn't inspire confidence, does it?

Thursday 15 April 2010

oh yes they did

a letter in His Master's Voice from Cllr Ruhemann can be seen (if your eyesight is good) to the left.  It seems that Cllr Ruhemann's and Martin Salter's previous support for development on Kennet Meadows has been spotted, and that Cllr Ruhemann does not like it.  He talks about a 1992 development proposal, which he did indeed oppose, but I would draw your attention to a paragraph towards the end of the first column (fisking mine in red), which says "much the same consortium came forward in 2002 and this time offered Reading council part of the meadows as public open space in return for dropping opposition to housing on the site, which you forgot to mention Pete,  We were sceptical so sceptical that you and Martin Salter went all over the media shouting about "homes for people" but they seemed initially to be offering some protection to the Meadows though it soon became apparent that they intended only to leave us who was "us"? the Reading people who would like somewhere to live? whose interests both of you had been loudly promoting in the media?  no, you'd forgotten about them already and were just thinking of your committee-room councillor chums a narrow strip to the north of the canal."  He goes on to talk again about the 1992 scheme, and having begun the letter by describing the previous letter stating that he "strongly supported the developer's programme" (which is true) as "libellous", ends by saying "I won't sue him, but he is wrong".

Go on Pete, sue.  Pete?  Pete? (sound of tumbleweed)

desperate men

in the words of the immortal Bob, very slightly amended gender-wise by me

"Gentlemen, she said
I don't need your organisation
I've shined your shoes
I've moved your mountains and I've marked your cards.
Eden is burning
So get ready for elimination
Or your hearts must bear the burden of the Changing of the Guards".

"Changing of the Guards" from "Street Legal", 1978, just before he got saved.  Brilliantly covered by Patti Smith too.

Cllr Willis thinks they are desperate too.

Antony Flew

died last week, I learned from Oliver Kamm's blog.  As any fule kno, he was a philosopher who lived in Reading (East - he came to see me on several occasions and our discussions were always interesting), and whatever else, he made a significant contribution to philosophical thought.  He is probably most remembered for having moved in his last years from atheism to belief in intelligent design - Oliver Kamm hints that he was not perhaps gifted with the intellectual acuity of his earlier years when he made this step - but there was more to him than that, and I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know him and his wife a little some years ago.  I hope he will be remembered in Reading.  I do not hold my breath for the Reading Evening Post to publish an obituary of course, they have not had a press release from Martin Salter to guide them, but it would be nice to be able to think that Reading remembers all its eminent figures, not just the cheap demagogic ones.  Antony Flew was very much on the right politically, and I do not think there are many other philosophers who support UKIP, but partly through some things he said to me I have tried to read Sidney Hook, who wrote among other things Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx: A Revolutionary Interpretation - I even bought a book of his essays, but I am not clever enough to understand them.  Any readers who can help will be thanked.

a thoughtful moment

a correspondent has been following with some interest the besieging of Reading by government ministers, as have I.  I was pleased to see that this time, unlike in 2005 when Martin Salter scuppered his visit, Jack Straw actually had some people listening to him in Reading East.  Anyway, this is what the correspondent has to say, and I think they are right.

in one photo, JS was framed by both candidates.



In my view, as per bloody usual, the Party has listened to Salter and his ridiculous gobbing off about increasing the majority in R West and re-gaining R East.






They didn't listen to the truth about Reading and Peterborough in 2005 and previously and look where it got them?


Peterborough now reduced to 2 Labour councillors - one an ex Tory Muslim defector and on target to come third, and Reading East lost because of the selection and protection of a sex offender.


I suspect that Rob Wilson will increase his majority and Reading West is already a goner. But it was ever thus and that is why we are on course for Tory landslide.






Peterborough and Reading are bellwethers for what is wrong with the Labour Party nationally - unfortunately
 
I know, I know, I have always said it would be a hung parliament, and a lot will hang on tonight's debate, but still...

why vote Labour?

here is Norm


David Hare invites Neil Kinnock to explain 'why on earth I, or anyone like me, should vote Labour next month'. What defence can Kinnock offer to people 'like [him]self' disillusioned over Labour's support for the Iraq war? In the course of answering Hare, Kinnock says:
And remember, the constitution has been changed. No prime minister in Britain will ever be able to go to war without the endorsement of a majority of the House of Commons.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tony Blair had such an endorsement. But for 'anyone like' Hare, that parliament voted on the war wasn't good enough; it should have voted as 'anyone like' him demanded.
In any case, if being 'anyone like' David Hare means thinking the invasion of Iraq was a major war crime, I'd say they shouldn't be voting Labour. Perpetrating major war crimes is a serious matter, and if you believe that governments should be answerable for what they do, you ought to hold them answerable for that at least. Consequently, 'anyone like' Hare who does nevertheless vote Labour reveals that his or her talk of war crimes or of bringing Tony Blair before a court somewhere is just so much hot air.
Not being 'anyone like' David Hare, I for my part will be voting Labour, as always.
Me too.  And let's all remember, as we elect our new MPs, that an MP is not a delegate but a representative.  There is a difference.

it's diseased

I am always interested to read Rob White's blog, and this post presents me with a couple of insights.  First that when the Conservative candidate for Park ward, John Walker, was about to drive the wrong way along Cumberland Road Rob put him right, instead of doing what most politicians would do, and certainly what the Reading boys would do, which is to let him drive the wrong way and then tell the media about it, preferably also taking a picture on his phone which clearly displays the number plate of his car.  So if you needed another reason to vote for Rob in Park, apart from stopping the violent thug Basher McKenzie from getting elected, you have it here.  He is not like the other politicians, and these days that has to be a good thing.
update: I am told that the above did not take place quite as Rob White described it.  Let us leave it there for now.

The other discovery I made from the post is that Martin Salter was one of the speakers at the Nepalese community's new year event, which took place at the Warehouse on Cumberland Road, in Reading East obviously.  The event was on April 10th, after Salter had ceased to be an MP.  And it was in Reading East, a constituency Salter has never represented other than in his diseased imagination.  You cannot expect the Nepalese community leaders to bother about the prorogation of Parliament and such matters, but Salter should have done.  He had no business there, no platform and no position. If he had anything other than his own aggrandisement in mind he should have attended only in order to introduce his Labour colleagues who may not be known to the Nepalese community leaders and who hope to be elected either to Parliament or to the council.

Sigh.

why?

here is the picture published in His Master's Voice of the launch of the Reading Labour manifesto.  Responsibility for quality of picture theirs.  Not the Labour Group manifesto or the Former MP's manifesto, but Reading Labour Party's manifesto.  Except that the chair of Reading Labour Party, one Trish Thomas, is not present.  A former Labour MP is pictured, with three or four councillors, two of them apparently councillors for Minster ward who are not candidates.  The candidate for Minster, Marion Livingstone, was not informed of the photocall, I am told.  And of course there are other candidates, not least Tory Tickner in Abbey ward, who are not present either.  And why is Mr Salter present?  Does he hold office in Reading Labour Party?  Is he standing in for Trish Thomas?  I think we should be told.  What arrant nonsense.

the fraudster's friend's head should roll

Cllr Richard Willis has posted again about the huge waste of council taxpayers' money in Reading because of a possibly corrupt but certainly inept scam involving the alleged use of biofuels by the Reading Buses company, which is wholly owned by Reading Borough Council.  Well, those whose job it is to expose these matters will I hope do so.  But it seems that the Reading Labour Group have learned nothing, they are still engaging in the politics of cover-up, spin and personal attack.  They still also do not get the concept of accountability.  Stuart Singleton-White, the fraudster's friend, the man who said that the electoral fraud uncovered in Redlands ward in Reading by Thames Valley Police was OK because there wasn't very much of it (how did he know?) was rewarded, presumably not for this, which resulted in a ward with three Labour councillors now being represented by three LibDems because of his support for the fraudsters, but for his enthusiastic promotion of the deselection of a sitting Labour MP, with the chairmanship of the board of Reading Buses, a salaried, publicly funded position in public life.  When the biofuels scandal first broke we heard nothing from Singleton-White.  Still we hear nothing.  Perhaps he has locked himself in his own attic?  Stuart?  Stuart?

Singleton-White is a decorated Falklands War veteran.  Not a lot of people know that, it not being fashionable in Reading Labour circles.  But I thought those men were brave.  Not all of them, clearly.

Duplicitous coward and fraudster's friend.

In the name of God, go.

new media, boys and girls

just a thought - my facebook friends who are politically active in the UK, which is quite a lot of them, have all gone quiet on there, being otherwise engaged just now - don't do that, everyone goes on to facebook at work and wherever they are, but not everyone reads the leaflets which come through their door.  You are the ones who should be status updating regularly.  Go on, you know it makes sense.
