Prescott Comment
Commenting on John Prescotts incident Michael Headley said: "It was a disturbing incident to see in British Politics. I don't believe that it is acceptable for people to resort to physical means whether throwing eggs or lashing out. However, incidents like this just show how many people feel unconnected with government. We are seeing apathy turning into antipathy. People expected a lot from Labour but when they failed to deliver they lost faith with the whole process."

County Council Campaign off to strong start
The Bedford Liberal Democrats are fighting locally in every seat for the Bedfordshire County Council elections to be held on 7th June - the same day as the General Election. "We're getting a fantastic reaction on the doorstep" said Lib Dem County Council Candidate for Brickhill Nick Hills. "People are so disappointed with the Tory run County Hall" added Nick. "In the last year, the Tories have authorised County spending of over £800,000 on fat-cat consultants and lawyers. We want to see that money spent on real services like trachers for our schools and nurses in local hospitals." The Liberal Democrat campaign is based on 4 "Pledges for Bedfordshire". Every Liberal Democrat councillor elected, every vote we get will be used to strengthen the Lib Dem campaign for education, the needs of the elderly and disabled, our local economy and protection and improvement of the environment.
