After I have done every other conceivable task in my life, I get around to reading UKIP literature. Their latest effort, though, contains something which might just concern us - and, surprise, surprise, it isn't about Europe.
UKIP claim that the LibDems are "importing" their candidate for this year's elections from outside of Norwich - a claim which wa spreviously laid against the Green Party. Interesting, I thought, and given the sudden appearance of Dave Thomas as Bowthorpe's "campaingner" despite showing zilch interest in the area previously and recently moving in from Thetford, I wondered how many other LibDem candidates were newly arrived in the City.
It will be very interesting to look at the background of the candidates when they are announced; because either the LibDems are going to look very cynical or UKIP are going to be very embarrassed!

It will be interesting indeed. One question was this a ukip leaflet delievered in lakenham or somewhere else? Just I live in thorpe hamlet and never have had anything from them. The only place they seem to have a constant prescense is lakenham.
It says Lakenham and we haven't picked up any more elsewhere; isn't Vandra their candidate still?
If the LibDems are doing this; and I will now check in my ward to see; then they deserve plenty of ridicule. They will plummet if true.

I tried to find a UKIP norwich website no luck there but uk polling says it is still vandra. It will be interesting to see how well they do in June, I would expect badly.....
If the Lib dem are importing Candidates it will look very bad, however if are just coming from a different part of Norwich then it will less of an issue.
