Lobster Blogster has been sent one of those pesky spam e-mails, probably from an exiled Nigerian, with the unlikely name of Hon Burnham. See for yourself if you think its a scam or not!

Liberal Democrats in Watford were forced to apologise recently when the Watford Observer noticed that the local party were making up quotes, and the attributing them to the paper's editorial team. Then they upset residents local to their party office by dumping huge volumes of their lying leaflets onto the pavement.

Lobster Blogster felt this all needed further investigation, so he went along to the party office to discover this!



Not only has a party activist driving L892 VFL illegally mounted the pavement where there are no dropped kerbs, it has parked on a part of the pavement clearly marked with single yellow "No parking" lines (the picture was taken at about 10.05 today, when the parking restriction is in force). Furthermore the sign in the window of their office just happens to be another lie.

Because the ward in which the picture is taken, Callowland, just happens to be the only ward in Watford where there are no Lib Dem councillors. We've got three Greens, thank you very much. And we've got a Green County Councillor, and even a Labour MP. Lib Dems winning here? They've never won here ever!

Lib Dems in Watford are liars - it's official. The Lobster read it first in the Watford Observer, but has been amused to see it quoted on Conservative Home, on Tom Watson MP and even little Kerron Cross.

Now I must look up the number for the party office and ask them where I can get help about illegally parked cars ...

Britain's former ambassador to Uzbekistan gets a voice again back at:

A big "Hello" from the Lobster and all your fans across the blogosphere.

PS: the Lobster is meant to be off work sick today, but somehow a 1pm appointment at Trafalgar Square is begging. It's time to join the hand of history ....
