DESPITE a clear election result, Ian Greenhalgh has continued his 'one man crusade' for Labour.

Following his overlong pre-election personal manifestos in The Bolton News, he has now arrogantly turned on the voters of Bolton West for ignoring his advice by voting in the Conservative candidate Chris Green, insulting him even before he has had chance to start work.

His attempts at 'beautifying' the former Labour MP Julie Hilling are embarrassing as she wasn't as admired by the majority of the electorate as himself. Chris Green comes across as a decent, hard working, level headed man who cares about improving lives whoever they might be.

I think Ian Greenhalgh should perhaps have a period of reflection and silence to consider just why his beloved Labour Party has suffered a second crushing defeat, stop blaming the electorate and open his mind to reality instead of the 'propaganda' he obviously still believes.
