Ann Widdecombe in North West Durham

Holly be-jebus...Jamie is getting some "high profile" support.

Ann Widdecombe was in North West Durham on Saturday have a tour of the area:
Beginning in Lanchester, Ann went on to Consett where she accompanied Jamie on a walkabout in the town centre, meeting stall holders and talking to shoppers. She then went to Stanhope and Wolsingham where she met members of the Weardale MS Society and Wolsingham Community Group.
Ann Widdecombe said:

“I thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many people in North West Durham. With countless broken promises over the last eight years, there is a genuine distrust of Labour in this area and people are willing to listen to what the Conservative Party can offer them at the General Election. If people want action to stop soaring council tax bills, get more police on the streets and see greater choice in their schools and hospitals, they should vote for Jamie Devlin on 5th May.”
Jamie Devlin said:
“I am delighted that Ann was able to visit North West Durham. Everyone we met was extremely supportive and told us how disappointed they were with Tony Blair and his Government. It is clear that the Conservative Party has a set of common sense policies that really do address the genuine concerns of people across North West Durham.”

It is good to see that the Tories are bothering to campaign, unlike Alan Ord (You think we should report him to missing persons?)

Should have taken her to the sights and sounds that is Fir Tree, we have 2 pubs and a petrol station you know...oh and a AA 5* B&B and a caravan park.

Ann might seem mad as a hatter but she is high profile and this will done no harm to Jamies campaign.


Comments:
Acording to the Journal her reception was "mixed" at Consett to say the least. Sorry but the good folk of Consett aren't likely to forgive and forget the neglect of the Tory government during the 80s. They closed the Steel Works on the Friday and blew the Cooling Towers down on the Monday...
 
The visits to Lanchester, Wolsingham and Stanhope were probably worthwile.

Any idea what page in the Journal (todays I'm guessing)

I've had a look through and I can't spot any mention
