The Tories’ new lad, Denis Knowles, did himself no favours today when he made some rather sweeping comments about what wonders he intends to perform for the Seacombe Community Centre. 

But when it was pointed out that he was supposed to be the Council’s representative on its managing body for many years – but (as far as we can tell) never turned up to support it at a meeting – he had no answer and sat on his hands looking rather sheepish.  He was certainly uncharacteristically lost for words.  

But we are always willing to accept if we are wrong.  If Denis did provide support by attending those meetings he has only to tell us the dates and we will publish them for him with a full retraction of our doubts.  It will have to be a good story though; when John and Adrian attended the Centre recently they were told by a long time regular there ‘Well I’ve been coming here for 18 years and I never saw him’.

So come on Denis, here’s an offer you can’t refuse.  If you were marked ‘present’ on the register just send us your attendance record – we’ll publish it on this website for you!
