Wycombe Lib Dems Select PPC
Written by morty on November 26, 2007 – 9:16 pm -Wycombe Liberal Democrats have just selected Steve Guy as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC).
Steve has lived in Wycombe for 5 years and is a governor of Sir William Ramsay School.
Immediately after his selection Steve Guy said “I am delighted to have been selected as the Liberal Democrat PPC. I am relishing the opportunity to engage with the people of Wycombe, and to offer them a real choice at the next election.
“As the Parliamentary Spokesperson for Wycombe I will be campaigning hard to build on our success in May this year. The Liberal Democrats gained seats from the Conservatives - increasing their representation on Wycombe District Council. Labour can no longer challenge the Tories in Wycombe. Indeed, on Bucks County Council it is the Liberal Democrats who are the official opposition. Only the Liberal Democrats can meet that challenge in Wycombe” continued Steve.
Wendy Guy, Chairperson of Wycombe Liberal Democrats (and wife of Steve) said after the result was declared: “I am proud on both a personal and an official level that Steve is our PPC. He is a person of great integrity and determination. He will be a great asset to our team”.

Proof reading up to usual Lib Dem standards, Trevor. Just how do you add your congratulations to someone? You might congratulate someone, you might add your congratulations to those of others. The first person singular pronoun is always capitalised. There is no such word as hes in the English language and you should use a hyphen between conservative and driven unless you intend the two terms to be separate in which case separate them with a comma. Conservative, if you intend it to refer to the political party, should be capitalised. Strength really means the same as fortitude, so tautology there. 4/10 for grammar and punctuation, a fail at GCSE, even for a Geordie.

I would have thought that Calamity Clarke had better things to do than come on here just to knock the grammar!

Someone to keep Charlie K company in the smokers’ huddle outside the Houses of Parliament if either of them get elected.

Intensive selection and questioning? Sure helps if your missus is in the chair.

It would have been quite improper if my wife had chaired the hustings - which is why she didn’t!

Hi Lesley
always happy to take comment, apply the learnings and move forward
Lets park grammar for moment and focus on the delivery
Steve underwent a serious grilling from before he was accepted. He came through with flying colours and 10/10 in areas important to the residents of Wycombe
In comparison our Conservatives in the area are failing to deliver in many of the areas important to residents of the Town and can only be given a 4/10 when it comes to services to the community.
—–afraid when it comes to Financials the Conservative sums dont add up to a positive experience for local residents
Cheers
Trevor

The witty riposte, Trevor? It really took you ten days to come up with that? Called a full meeting of all LibDems in Wycombe and gave the text a serious grilling and intensive questioning did you?

Although ‘learning’ is a noun it can’t be pluralised. There is that other grammatical curiosity the ‘Liberal Democrat Government’ - it exists in neither singular nor plural form.
