Merry Christmas Medway!

It seems that there is a joker amongst our citizens, going by the alias Festive Cheer.

Today I, along with at least three Medway Conservative Councillors, two other Conservative Campaigners, a Conservative Parliamentary Candidate and the three Medway Conservative Constituency offices, received an email from “festive” (merry.xmas.tories@hotmail.co.uk) with two links.

The first (http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1650057464) led us to a video of Cllrs Mrs Diane Chambers, Alan Jarrett, Rodney Chambers and Rehman Chishti dressed as elves and dancing to a very festive song.

The second (http://www.scroogeyourself.com/?id=1651457929) led us to a video of Cllrs Mrs Teresa Murray dressed as Scrooge, dancing to the same very festive song.

Both videos are well worth a look, but remember to turn your speakers on!

The motion’s text, which was agreed unanimously, as written in the agenda, is as follows: “Our armed forces are acting in the highest traditions of our nation in their conduct of operations overseas. Reservists and regular servicemen and women alike share the burden and risks and they do so in the most difficult of circumstances, with great pressure on manpower and other resources. On behalf of the people of Medway this Council wishes to express admiration at the bravery, endurance and professionalism of our servicemen and women, as well as the fortitude and quiet courage of their families at home in the United Kingdom.”

The response from members was overwhelming, and below I have decided to share as much of it with you as possible, interspersed with my personal opinions on some members’ comments.
