In this week’s Martello (the Herald’s gossip column) readers are informed that Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Conservative Party Damian Collins is looking to buy a house in the area, giving himself a permanent base. “I am sure that Mr. Collins is not pre-judging the election of this fine parish but…” crows the writer of the column, ‘Watchman.’
It can be reasonably assumed that Mr. Collins will win the seat, but perhaps Watchman's colleagues at the Herald are contributing to Mr. Collin's willingness to put thousands of pounds into local property before a single vote has been cast. Every time the Herald has allowed Mr. Collins to fill the already elected Mr. Howard’s column, it has retained the play-on-words title ‘Commons touch.’
Pip pip!
