In the Midst of a Tory Town

Some of you will know of my several attempts to get elected as a Labour Councillor for Baldock, and that it has had three Conservative Councillors for eleven years with big majorities in spite of many attempts to rectify that.

So it is that I was heartened yesterday whilst showing Ruth around the town to see this shop window in one of the main streets. It was a totally unexpected sight and I have sent it to some of my fellow CLP Colleagues and it did give me an extra political spring in my step this weekend. Heartening in the midst of a difficult general election campaign to see this in a town which has been Conservative for so long.
