Dear Sir,

I read somewhere that human intelligence is reckoned to be half a million years old, reading Aycliffe Reply you’d think it was still at the nappy stage.  As Labour Cllr Derek Atkinson rightly said a few weeks ago, this is the dirtiest election campaign in decades. The anonymous Labour Gang of Four behind Aycliffe Reply obviously think that if they repeat lies enough times, people may believe them. I have usually found that the people who actually vote at elections read and understand a lot more than most politicians give them credit for, and can see through them.

Aycliffe Reply refer to a Northern Echo article, but what they don’t say is that the Northern Echo, with its finest team of highly able investigative reporters, never repeated or followed up their article, why? … because they were more than satisfied with the evidence and statements from key witnesses that there was no case to investigate. Also they recognised from the leaked email that they were being manipulated by the Aycliffe Reply Labour Group within the Local Labour Party. This of course annoyed the hell out of the politically corrupt “Aycliffe Reply”.

Their Leader who I call Mr T who was once a member of Militant Tendency, had once punched someone unconscious outside a working mens club, had an atrocious  record of attendance in his one term on the County Council, and was a leading member of the “Trimdon Mafia” which ran the Constituency Party. No wonder they prefer  not to identify themselves. He that does ill hates the light.   What Aycliffe Reply don’t say is that they are also behind Labour putting a resident from Darlington up for the Town Council in Newton Aycliffe, purely on the grounds that he works in a shop in the town. It is  a funny world isn’t it?

Only the other day I was at County Hall Electoral Registration, and found out that the  Aycliffe Reply Gang had tried to put forward another candidate,  who recently moved back to Aycliffe allegedly, but who wasn’t on the register to vote here nor did he meet any other grounds for standing and his application was rejected by the Electoral Registration Officer. Me, I put my faith in the residents.
