You will have gathered by now that the purpose of my blog is not to make political comment (I make enough of that at City Council meetings!) but to update residents in the West End and City Centre of Dundee on local issues, so its really rare that I make any sort of political comment on the blog but - well - a couple of exceptions and it is all about the Tories.
Firstly, I am personally really sad that the Conservative Councillor for the neighbouring ward to mine (Riverside) Neil Powrie has decided to stand down at next year's elections. Neil's done loads for the West End over the 27 years he's been on the Council (well, actually councils - Dundee District Council, Tayside Regional Council and the current Dundee City Council) and he's a good friend. So forgetting the politics, I'll miss Neil being on Dundee City Council.
Secondly, had a good laugh to see that Tory commentator Iain Dale (Iain Dale's diary - http://iaindale.blogspot.com/) has done a resume of the best UK political blogs and I'm 69th on the LibDem Top 100, which is pretty amazing considering my blog is aimed only at the people who live in the West End and City Centre of Dundee. Anyway, you can read his full LibDem 100 by clicking the headline above!
