City Council elections in May

So it turns out I won't be standing, going forward.

I got a bit distracted, and only found out yesterday that I had until today, at 4pm, to put in my nomination papers. I couldn't find them, so I went ot the council offices today, at two-ish, to get new ones.

Then I sat down at three to fill them in, and only at that moment realised that I would need my sponsors on the form too, not get them after I'd made my nomination official. I frankly didn't care if I didn't get the nominations, I just wanted to give residents the option of supporting an independent candidate or not. They haven't evinced the slightest interest in doing so, so I guess it's no skin off anyone's nose...

I know there will be plenty of anonymous hooting about how I never intended to stand in the first place. Again, frankly, I don't give a rat's arse if there is. If there's a case to made against anyone for apathy, there are far better contenders than me amongst those anonymous hypocrites who show no evidence of doing anything besides talking a big fight.

Peace out.
