What is self-evident though is that George Mitchell is a statesman like Mikhail Gorbachev and Jimmy Carter in a way that after some early promise Tony Blair failed to be. 2008-07-19T10:04+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000015/this_is_the_best_campaign_that_the_liverpool_echo_have_run_to_improve_liverpool_in_years.html http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2008/05/06/tidy-up-liverpool-be-a-binner-not-a-sinner-100252-20867299/ 2008-07-19T10:01+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000014/the_human_compassion_of_the_mizen_family_is_the_most_potent_weapon_against_knife_crime.html The courage of the Mizen family has been the most impressive example of human reason and the ability to be better and strive to improve society that I have come across in a long time. 2008-07-14T14:42+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000013/frank_field_pandering_to_racism_again.html Yes it's Frank Field MP apparently pandering to racism again. Even if his view isn't accurately reported Frank Field is experienced enough as a Labour MP to know how the media will report his comments. Maybe he doesn't understand that the long term unemployed aren't getting the jobs because they don't apply for them but that new European workers and others do. My brother is one of many Brits who's been working in Spain - should that be allowed! Field should concentrate on getting his Government to implement some of his better ideas to get people off incapacity benefit, not attack hardworking Europeans boosting the British economy. When they go home our economy will be in trouble. Lax reporting by the 'Liverpool Echo', they don't even bother to get a quote from business or analyse the stats. As a councillor in Liverpool I put down a motion welcoming the new Polish residents who have done much to improve and add to my area. 2008-03-29T14:36+00:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000012/inspired_transport_policy.html This letter from "the Independent" of 19 February is inspired 2008-02-26T18:08+00:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000011/in_support_of_lembit_opik.html My colleagues at "Liberator" magazine didn't print this letter originally written 24 October 2007 so I reproduce here.

Elwyn will be a first class candidate for all of Oldham East, Shaw & Crompton and Saddleworth. Well done also to Mark Alcock, Jackie Pearcey and Helen Foster-Grime for impressive and well fought campaigns. It was one of the strongest fields of candidates for a selection that I have ever seen. Any one will make an excellent MP and demonstrate the wealth of talent available in the Liberal Democrats. I was very impressed and was pleased to hear positive feedback about all from members across the constituency .. members who are raring to go to elect a Liberal Democrat MP who will stand up for Oldham East and Saddleworth. 2007-09-12T23:40+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000005/hustings_speech_given_sat_8_september.html Oldham East & Saddleworth Hustings speech 2007-09-12T23:18+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000004/a_quick_final_email_from_kiron_reid.html www.kironreid.co.uk 2007-09-06T21:06+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000003/the_campaign_so_far.html Dear friend, 2007-08-30T18:42+01:00 http://kironreid.co.uk/news/000002/1st_campaign_email.html This may be of interest to those who don't have email addresses on the party membership list. 2007-08-23T12:25+01:00
