BE AFRAID – BE VERY AFRAID!!
Forget Nightmare on Elm Street – it’s Nightmare on Cranleigh High Street!!
Just when you thought it was safe to heave a huge sigh of relief, Povey-Power is about to be inflicted all over again on the East of the Borough!
In a classic case of Hobson’s Choice: the Tory-Tossers had to choose between Uriah Heep (AKA Alan Young) & Fagin (Andrew Povey). Some choice!
We told you all about the Pre-Election Stress Disorder phenomenon that struck the East of the borough just a few weeks ago.
Now, hang onto your blue rosettes, because Post Election Stress Disorder is about to hit the High Street as ‘The Comeback Kid’ ricochets back onto the Cranleigh / Ewhurst scene! No doubt The Surrey Ad has swopped its allegiance now its usual Kodak Kid has been ditched in four of its NBF (New best friend) – Kodak Povey!
“If you are out there Rosaleen Egan – get your Rebocks on and hit the Cranleigh / Ewhurst pavements because Jesus Mary and the Joseph – AKA Guildford Conservative Associations – has just answered all your prayers!
Pre – Election Stress Disorder hits Ewhurst and Cranleigh.
Now, take a deep breath and readers of a sensitive disposition look away, because this news comes with a Waverley Web health warning! Who’s soon going to be pulling ‘Your Surrey’s’ county council strings?
Sadly the new broom many over there in the East had hoped would sweep County Hall clean and restore faith in local politics – Phillip Townsend – has not been selected to stand. No! we hear you cry! NO, surely it cannot be?
Here’s your candidates: it’s called HOBSONS CHOICE.
In the Blue Corner – 
Here you have Andrew Povey – disgraced former `leader of Surrey County Council, who with a knockout blow, beat off the competition.
It really is quite extraordinary that with a population of over 300 hundred million people the USA could only dredge up two totally unsuitable people to compete for the Presidency – Clinton and Trump?
Likewise, in the whole of Eastern Waverley – with a population of 12/13,000 soon to be nearer 20,000! – the Tory Tossers were reduced to sending in the disgraced former leader Gotta-pick-a-pocket-or-two-or-three – none other than Dr (as he likes to be known!) Andrew Povey.
Want to read more about the disgraced former Leader of Surrey County Council, whose colleagues took a vote of no confidence in him, and yet is now predicted to be Surrey County Council’s very own Comeback Kid? Bet David Hodge & Co can hardly wait?!?! Even some of them will be registering in Cranleigh and voting UKIP!
Really makes you wonder doesn’t it? The man pictured above by our own staff photographer, is the very same man who introduced Politics with a great big capital P into the village council chamber over 20 years ago, abandoned it for his race up Surrey County Council’s greasy pole, reaching the top only to slide down it faster than Usain Bolt on speed ! Now selected to take over the reins of Uriah Young (AKA Alan Young) . But when we look at who they’ve replaced him with we can’t help wondering why they bothered?
GOING, GOING GONE…YOUNG!
It cannot be true – can it?
It can’t get any worse
Oh Yes it can – and it will – watch this space!
Perhaps if I promise to fill my boots with every corrupt offer going I may stand half a chance
Oh joy Andrew Povey, the man Hodge dislodged. A man with a record of providing inadequate care within his private care company, this at a time that SCC are accused of also providing inadequate care. I will lay odds that as hard as I try this man WILL be elected.
