Cllr Bob Blackman and Sarah Teather MP

I have been asked why Cllr Bob Blackman appears on my page on Liberal Democrat dishonesty. After all, he is a Conservative.

The reason is that it demonstrates the hypocrisy of Sarah Teather and the Liberal Democrats. They play to the Left when they want votes in Brent because most of the southern part of the Borough is naturally Labour leaning. But when they get into power they put a Conservative like Bob Blackman in charge of finances, and he then uses the position to do things like bankrupt people for very small amounts of Council Tax arrears, which the Liberal Democrats publicly claim to oppose.

If there is a hung Parliament after the next General Election, it would not surprise me at all if we see the Liberal Democrats jumping into bed with the Tories.
