A touch of farce enters the Conservative Henley selection
Written by Mark Pack on 30th May 2008 – 2:40 pmFollowing on from the news about the internal ructions in Henley Conservatives over their selection of their Henley Parliamentary by-election candidate (requiring first John Maples and then David Cameron to meet personally with the local party to order them to fall into line), we now this rather bizarre report in today’s Henley Standard:
An air of secrecy has surrounded the [Conservative] selection meeting so far with no one prepared to admit that it is even taking place.
Well, that’s one way of doing things ![]()

Perhaps he’s ill? That would be worrying. It’s not nearly as much fun here without him to laugh at.
