Duty? Service?
Yes, for service - bring back National Service. Let no-one be exempt. If we expect the state to serve us, then we must serve the state, as a Nation.
Duty, duty to what? Where do our duties lie? A duty implies a moral or legal obligation. I may dutiful to my employer, I may be dutiful to my wife. Where else should I be beautiful (or dutiful)?
MPs should be kicked out of the party if they have taken to much expences say I the JUDGE, BRISTOL NORTH WEST,today not at the end of the tearm of office no pension just the same rights as anyone walking out of prision for a crime against the State. signed a good tory party member AGBRIMM
It is an enormous honour to have been elected to represent my home as the local MP.
I live in Westbury and have lived in Bristol for over 27 years. I went to school here, and I represented The City of Bristol in national swimming competitions when I was at school, so working for Bristol really is working for my home town.
This blog carries on from my blog as a candidate - and is really just a diary of the kind of things I'm getting up to. For more official stuff, you're best to look on my official website: www.charlotteleslie.com but this is a more informal look at what I'm doing.
And if it doesn't get updated for weeks at a time - well, you know it means I've just been EXTRA busy!
I discovered that First Bus had charged Avon and Somerset Police a staggering £125,000 for CCTV footage to investigate Andrew Ibrahim on charges relating to terrorism. I have written to Justin Davies, Director of First Bus, asking for an explanation. I will keep you posted.
BRISTOLS BIGGEST POST OFFICE PROTEST HITS THE PRESS
Our march of over 200 people attracted widespread media attention: 1000 signatures and 200 protesters say "Keep our Post Offices!"
Running for the Jessie May Trust!
Thank you to all those who sponsored me on the Bristol Half Marathon for St. Peter's Hospice. I raised over £1000, but there's still the opportunity to give!

Who are you? Who am I?
Why should I not vote BNP?
