Do you ever encounter someone or something that makes you feel as though you need a rabies shot just to be on the safe side?That's how we felt after reading a letter in last week's Standard from Councillor Colin Davie, the acting chairman of the Boston and Skegness Conservative Association.
There's nothing ambiguous about this fella.
"The recession will clearly deepen and it will cause pain, hardship and fear for families and business alike.
He then says the recession will be worse in the UK because of government actions, which he claims will drive our "youngest and most talented" to emigrate.
Needless to say, the Tories have the medicine to recover from the "sickness" of Gordon Brown with which we are all "afflicted."
Mr Davie then aims his photon torpedoes at Boston Borough Council.
It has a worsening financial position, has no sense of purpose or direction, and will "undoubtedly" make many serious mistakes in its budget for the coming year.
As if that's not enough, the council "has no vision for the future other than power for its own sake."
And guess what?
"Only Conservatives offer a vision for Boston in the future."
We don't know appreciate the minutiae of the economic crisis. But we do know that it is global, and if asked would say that the effects of the recession were probably worst overall in the United States - although we would agree that the UK comes a close second.
And whilst we are among the fiercer critics of the Bypass Independent ruling group, we feel that at heart they are well intentioned and (perhaps with one or two exceptions) not the megalomaniacs that they are painted in this letter.
How strange that when Mr Davie penned this obvious manifesto he neglected to remind us that Thursday 4 June this year sees elections for seats on Lincolnshire County Council.
Not for the first time, the Boston Standard shows a sense of bias by publishing such blatant, ill informed rubbish ... and we are sure that there will be much more in the future.
