Bad Penny

In May 2008, Cllr Matt Bennett won Stockland Green for the Tories for the first time in 22 years on the largest swing in the city. Report here. The Labour incumbent at that time was Penny Holbrook who works for Sion Simon.



Either Sion or one of his staff seems to be caught in the past. If you visit his latest web entry, the author labels the photo above as sion-simon-mp-brookvale-centenary-with-cllr-penny-holbrook.jpg. Let's hope this error is corrected so that Penny can't be accused of impersonating a councillor.

Update Sat 25th - corrected.

Mr Bennett may have got the largest swing on that day in May. For the other 364 days in the year, Penny is a much larger swinger.

Impersonation? From what I heard, Ms Holbrook was pretending to be a councillor a long time before the Stockland Green electorate eventually decided to opt for the real thing.

As for Mr. Anon, you give yourself away. LOL!!!

Is she very tall or is Sion Simon very small?

I've never met her, but I am told she is very tall.

In my experience, the non-conservative platform have always been stuck in the past. Just look at Labour. They won't admit they've done wrong with expenses, the Lisbon Treaty etc, and they can't find any suitable smears against Cameron so they just start whining about Thatcherism and John Major.

I think someone has finally told Penny she lost the election. They have now changed the description on the website. :D
