Contradictory news from Facebook about the state of Lembit Opik’s campaign to become the Liberal Democrat candidate for London Mayor. The number of fans of his campaign page is now up to 178. However, although his campaign says the page is “the main point of contact for those involved in the campaign to win the nomination”, the last update from the campaign team on the wall is now looking rather dated, having been posted on 18 July.

And the award for pointless posting of the year goes to?
Slow day?
Lol Ian. You must have missed Iain Roberts post a couple of weeks ago about rain in Cheadle. Removed because of its utter pointlessness, I think.
He needs to get a move on if he is serious about standing.

Lembit for London are working hard behind the scenes and have another meet planned for Monday 6th September. We are organising meetings with the boroughs at present. I will try to keep you updated as to what we are up to if you wish. You can contact me through the ‘We Need You’ section of the site if you want more detail.
