Why Are There No Lies in this Election Campaign?

Eva from The Brook

Reading through the responses to 'that ad' by the Nelson Citizen Alliance - you know the one that the Nelson Weekly had to apologise for - I find all these pussy-footing words like 'disinformation', something that 'holds no truth', etc very interesting.

Are we not allowed to say 'Lies' any more?
Now there's a word that every kid understands.

Dirty deliberate lies, that were designed to twist the outcome of the election, timed to do the most damage possible.

And every kid also knows how far to trust anybody who behaves like that!

Come on Nelson, if you haven't voted yet, grab your papers and show them!
Vote for those who were attacked. And who have never used dirty tactics like that!

Here they are:
Matt Lawrey
Rachel Sanson
Rohan O'Neill-Stevens
Aaron Stallard and
Pete Rainey

You can drop off your paper before midday tomorrow, Saturday at all these places, in the bright orange bins:

Calling all those in Wheelchairs

Simon from Stoke

Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
