“It has been an absolute public relations disaster”

By | Thu 19th April 2007 - 8:00 am

Yup, it is David Cameron and the Conservatives again. Not Greg Dyke this time, but instead the elections in Tendring.

As the local paper says:

YOU couldn’t make it up if you tried. Just as the Conservative Party have the local elctions in the palm of their hand, a bright spark in Essex decides to clamp down on some of the most well known and best loved personalities in Tendring and cause a schism that will take years to heel.

Who knows what advice Conservative Central Office has been listening to, but it has been an absolute public relations disaster and has caused such bad feeling among party members and supporters that any joy for David Cameron as the nationwide results come in on May 3 will be tempered by the knowledge that in True Blue Frinton of all places, and other areas of Tendring, the name of the Tory Party stinks.

The story continues here.

Hat tip: Chris Black.

    Looks like another Falmouth and Camborne repeat caused br a renegade PPC with the conivance of CCHQ.
    Look on UK POLLING under Truro and Falmouth to see how we have shot ourselves in the foot and given the seat to you,the Liberal Democrats.
    You are right these things take years to heal.

    Is this a case of competitive Tendring?
