Where do you get a strong write in campaign?

Jim Devine has claimed on his latest election literature that thousands of people have responded to his survey that drugs is the major issue they are facing here in Livingston.

Strangely in yesterdays West Lothian Courier it only said that hundreds had said that.

Even stranger most people that I or Chrales Dundas or other members of the campign team are meeting are saying services at the local hospital at St. John's are the main issue.

However, most strange is that at the same time last year as we entered the final week of the Hartlepool by-election exactly thte same story appeared on the front page of a Labour leaflet almost verbatim with obvious changes to make it sound local.

Strangely there Jody Dunn the Lib Dem candidate was similarily finding that the local hospital under the corresdiction of a Labour Minster was the major issue.

Someone quick call for Mulder and Scully.
