WHAT a mess this whole postal vote saga has become!

Shame on the Tories for making this about race, it remains a mystery why they found it relevant to state "Asian" in the article. The fact remains that such a large late-list, delivered en-bloc, raises questions regardless of the demographics of the area.

Shame on Labour for burying their head in the sand, they have instead focused on making vague suggestions that anyone who questions the rise could be racist and intent on creating division. If Labour were in the same position they would raise concerns.

Since when did the residents of Bolton become a political punch bag for these two parties? We deserve better. It’s about time they remembered they are here to serve the community instead of playing political games.
