As Graham Gas has always been an independently minded person he would probably have shown more integrity by standing as an independent 15 and 20 years ago. As a Labour Councillor he put our village first and his party second, which is probably why he was deselected as the Labour candidate.Alwyn ap Huwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194724336424525283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120478390983403863.post-86723428839140942032012-04-07T08:59:50.138+01:002012-04-07T08:59:50.138+01:00"Labour didn't select Graham so he joined..."Labour didn't select Graham so he joined the Lib Dems for one election, but he has since sat as an independent".<br /><br />Hardly the action of someone who claims "Integrity" on his profile.
