Comments on: Tony Lit for Rochester and Strood? http://www.viewfrommedway.co.uk/2008/01/10/tony-lit-for-rochester-and-strood.html News, Law and Opinion from Alan W Collins Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:36:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: rick mann http://www.viewfrommedway.co.uk/2008/01/10/tony-lit-for-rochester-and-strood.html/comment-page-1#comment-19089 rick mann Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:34:31 +0000 http://www.alanwcollins.co.uk/2008/01/10/tony-lit-for-rochester-and-strood.html#comment-19089 just for the record. It is correct that he was born and brought up in medway. Lit is NOT his surname and neither is Avtar Lit his father. It is a name he took on when he married Avtar Lit's daughter. Tony already has one failed marraige behind him when he was married to Farida just for the record.

I don't even know who the candidates are, and will probably get to know of just the twenty post-sift. I am aware of those who came to help us during the recent by-election to replace me. I wouldn't rate myself as being particularly politically astute: I have an exceptionally high intelligence so might appear to be more "with it" in a specific arena than is really the case. This has certainly been true in the political sphere. No false modesty there, I trust! If you wish to meet me, feel free to come to one of our social events (as a number of the candidates have done) and let me know which it is, so I can be sure to be there too. Now there's an offer I bet you don't get every day :-) Whoa! I don’t even know who the candidates are, and will probably get to know of just the twenty post-sift.

I really don't know who will the main runners. I know that we have received over 130 applications, so there's a lot of sifting and Big Event work to do over the next several weeks. I am happy not to be so closely involved as had been originally envisaged. Far more politically astute people than I are going to be involved in the early stages, and that makes perfect sense to me.

Fifteen far better people than I for such a task have been appointed, so I am well pleased with that. Now, as long as our sift isn't interfered with from the outside (and the party rules clearly show that this would not be allowed), we as an Association should select a really good candidate from the well over a hundred who have applied this time.
