The Turnip Taliban may not be good with the Interwebby Thingy, but they had enough time to read their local paper and even make a trip to the nearest copyright library (Cambridge University) and read all the back copies of the papers.It doesn't add up...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-48785952885961133122009-11-08T00:00:44.918+00:002009-11-08T00:00:44.918+00:00"Like today’s televised FA Cup first round cl..."Like today’s televised FA Cup first round clash between Norwich City and lower-league minnows Paulton Rovers, will there be an upset with the underdog beating the favourite?"<br /><br />Err...

First the list was whittled-down from seven to six by the executive and then, when David Rutley was selected for Macclesfield, a final substitute Anthony Brenton was introduced at the last minute.<br /><br />The rumoured list was chopping and changing with candidates appearing and disappearing all the time. Nobody got to see the final definitive list until they were in the selection room.<br /><br />So no chance to Google a complete list in advance.bunncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768612455017655264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-40125511230317841232009-11-07T14:36:55.960+00:002009-11-07T14:36:55.960+00:00I tried to cover those questions in my initial com...I tried to cover those questions in my initial comment last week. <br />http://politicalbetting.blogspot.com/2009/11/all-trussed-up-and-nowhere-to-go.html<br />As you'll see there, local members did not have the opportunity to Google in advance and that's why the party is in such a muddle now.bunncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768612455017655264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-56925118098582910642009-11-07T14:25:58.775+00:002009-11-07T14:25:58.775+00:00Bunnco how do you explain the stupidity of people ...Bunnco how do you explain the stupidity of people that did not check on her in the 2 weeks before the selection meeting?<br /><br />People that did not do that have no right to complain.
