Sick of sleaze, dodgy expense claims and MPs/MEPs who just don’t represent you?

Then it is time for a change, not just a change of personnel but a change in the whole system, a vote for the Jury Team will get you a representative who is not a professional politician, instead it will get you someone who is independent of all the political parties, someone who does not bow to any party whip, someone who really cares.

The new line-up is ready take a look at www.juryteamsouthwest.eu for full details of how we are different.

Yet again we have had a week of news stories about MPs expenses, Margaret Beckett was seen on BBCs Question Time trying to justify her claim for hanging baskets, it’s OK though as she said it was a mistake and she would give the money back, and we are just supposed to accept that and do nothing more?

If Margaret Beckett was caught walking out of a supermarket with a bag full of shopping that she haden’t paid for, how do you think the Judge would  react to her excuse that she had made a mistake?

Our politicians need to be honest and decent people, offering to pay back money they have obtained by fraud is just not good enough, anyone who has “made a mistake” where they have benefited financially should be sacked, there is no other occupation that would accept this, and as their employers there is no reason why we should accept this.

The only way to put an end to this disgraceful behaviour is to vote for someone who is not already a part of this establishment of sleaze, it is time to make our voices (and our votes) count and vote for the Jury Team, independent candidates from outside of the political establishment.

The pool refurbishment is in full swing, but things haven’t exactly gone according to plan; the weather has been against us making painting almost impossible, we have been very short of plumbers and builders as well as sand and chippings.

Yesterday I received a call from the Fire Brigade who to tell me that Bristol Water will not allow them to use the fire hydrant to help us fill the pool, I have a meeting with Bristol Water at 10:30 this morning to try and sort this out.

The Wednesday deadline for having the pool finished is looking increasingly more difficult to achieve, but I am optimistic that we will get some extra help and it will be finished, I just hope there is water in the pool when we open!
