The fact it has taken him the best part of a week to distance himself from it only adds to the suspicion that he is just backtracking. The matter is irrelevant anyway as if he didn’t sign it off as leader in Wales he has to take responsibility for it. I guess that fits in with your idea of a captain having to stand by the team.<BR/><BR/>His timing is bizarre as well. I think the Tories have taken a hit with this certainly. The idea of a nasty party, added to the Alun Cairns incident, rightly or wrongly has re-emerged. Yet it wasn't as if Nick himself had taken a huge blow personally, but the party's image. Plus whilst it may have been hovering in the background it was not really an issue that was going to re-emerge. Why has Nick brought it up? Only because of him is the dodgy dossier back under public scrutiny?Che Grav-arahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360578629673569676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-42274684385963342352008-10-03T07:59:00.000+01:002008-10-03T07:59:00.000+01:00all - the quality and content was not the subject ...all - the quality and content was not the subject on this post. In fact, all I've read is the bits that the media have focussed on, and Che is right to say that they were not my political style. This post is more about standing by those you want to stand by you. If I add that Arsene Wenger is the sports manager I most respect, you might understand what I'm sayng here.<BR/><BR/>I have rejected two comments - not something I do often.

Considering your stance of not attacking Lembit personally in an attempt to appear above that side of politics I am disappointed that you would endorse thi. I would have hoped it would not be your style.<BR/><BR/>As for it being a nothing story the very fact that Tory insiders and staff are effectively saying that Nick Bourne is lying when he says that he did not sign the dossier off I would certainly say that undermines his credibility and makes this a potentially very big issue.Che Grav-arahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360578629673569676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-56280409307208087142008-10-02T23:25:00.000+01:002008-10-02T23:25:00.000+01:00i here theres a bloody good row going on down in t...i here theres a bloody good row going on down in the tory group in the asembly. should be some fun next weeek. bet u wish u were thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-51892540794287139242008-10-02T22:44:00.000+01:002008-10-02T22:44:00.000+01:00I agree Glyn, backing off is stupid, it was well r...I agree Glyn, backing off is stupid, it was well researched by all accounts and actually signed off by Nick Bourne ,stand by it Nick, show some backbone and solidarity , you would gain muchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
