Keeping the blue flag flying in a sea of scarlet red

I want to say how delighted and impressed I am that Conservative Associations in some of the toughest areas of London (politically speaking) are fielding full slates of candidates. 

I know hard we sometimes have to work in Kent to find candidates for leafy villages and towns, so to identify, train and nominate 50,60 or 70 candidates in Newham or Tottenham is a real achievement. 

So, without wishing to sound patronising, well done to people like Chris Buckwell and Justin Hinchliffe (to name but two) for keeping the blue flag flying in some of our most challenging council wards.
