My second election leaflet was personally delivered this evening by a colleague of
Walter Millar, from the TUV. I'd seen his poster and another TUV members poster recently and assumed that most of the candidates from the TUV were in the older age bracket. I was assured by Walters colleague that Walter was in his 40's. I'm started to be reminded of a TV makeover show,a show were the general public are asked at the start what age do you think Walter is.Then after a makeover the public reckon he's ten years younger. Yeah, I think the show was called Ten years younger.
Quickly glancing at the cover, I got to page 2 of the
Walter leaflet and had to find the photo that accompanied the headline "
Shameful scandal and greed ", a photo taken around the same time as this one.A photo taken by a photographer standing next to the photographer who took this photo...
I didn't read anymore of the leaflet. The photo put me off, even put me off voting for TUV.
The first election leaflet I'd shoved through my letter box last week was of the woman who's posters went up in Mid Ulster first too. That's Sandra Overend in the Conservatives and Unionists. As her leaflet suggested to search 'Sandra Overend' on Facebook and Twitter' I thought I'd Google her and find out what she's done in this constituency.As the UUP Women's development officer she's bound to have been in the news over the last few years. I avoided all the political propaganda and political blogs, I just wanted to find out what she's done for local people. I found out that she's listed in the
St Tidas Vestry Members list, she was/is a member of the
PARENT SUPPORT GROUP in Bellaghy Primary School. She's also found on the
namesdatabase

I'm on page 19 of a Google search for Sandra Overend [Results 181 - 190 of about 26,600] and I've given up. That's all I could find.That's put me off voting for Sandra.
I'm waiting to read the leaflets delivered by the other parties, no doubt one encouraging me to vote for the man who was committed to
''limited guerrilla warfare'' and once
said...
''Let the British give us a declaration of intent to withdraw from Northern Ireland and the violence will stop,''
Just to let you know, if you ever ask me to vote for Marty the answer will be, as another man roared " Never, Never, Never".
