Any word on if BB plans to stand again?

BrianB didn't stand last time, did he?

If he did would he stand in your ward?

BB stood for parliament 'last time' (the constituency of Newbury, which roughly speaking is West Berkshire).  Like user23 sarcastically implied, the May elections are local elections, so it would be down to which ward he stood in and if you happen to be of the same one.

I hope Brian does stand, and I've already said I wouldn't put anyone up against him. He is a good bloke and has something to offer the council, whether you agree with him or not. If he does stand, I guess it will be Victoria?

What's going on here?

I made a case at the Labour Party meeting for working with and supporting certain candidates. As the campaign manager, I made that call and the party backed me.

If the Labour Party / You (there seems to be little difference) and the Newbury Retail Association have been making clandestine deals behind the scenes it's probably not the best idea for the Labour Party / You publicise it on the forum of the bloke that runs the Newbury Retail Association.

We've made no deals with Brian, I've said if he does stand we will not field a candidate against him. What's wrong with that? By the way, should you be posting on here during work hours?

You say you've made no deals, then go on to outline the deal you made with him / the Retail Association.

Day off today Dickie. But then every day's a day off for you, isn't it.

What deal have I made directly with Brian? I said to him that we wouldn't put a candidate up against hime if he stood. He has yet to tell me if he is standing or not, but I should think and hope that he would.

There is no such thing as a day off when you run your own business.

Ooooh. Someone's getting upset.

But there is plenty of time to post during the day on internet forums it would seem.

When you are self employed, hours of work aren't 9-5.

If he wants to prove a point, he should stand against Pangbourne Pam or Corporal Jones the Lambourn Chemist.
