Naming and shaming...
"Imagine if you were a PPC in a tough seat (Labour majority of just under 14,000) and local residents came to you to ask you to help them shut down a pub in the area which was frequented by criminal elements and used as a forum from which to sell drugs. You’d say absolutely, wouldn’t you?
Well that’s exactly what a London PPC did when local residents in the constituency approached him about a notorious bar/drug den, to ask if he would represent them in the bar’s upcoming licence review. And, thanks to the overwhelming evidence against the bar, it was shut down.
Quite the victory for the local PPC and certainly something you’d expect him to shout about, right? Surprisingly though, no leaflet to voters announcing the victory was sent. Why? Oh, because the local association demanded that nothing be sent out in case… wait for it… it upset the criminals! No really.
Nothing like a candidate who sticks by his convictions."
Well unfortunately for the Croydon North Association and PPC

To be fair... I think it;s the association who are refusing to publicise it, and not the ppc. According to Shane's post anyway . . .
Which is exactly what the story says and makes clear !!!
Out of interest why is it bloggers always mention the fact that he's been on TV when they mention Shane Greer?
