SIR. The Putney Labour Party's Putney Paper, recently circulated in Putney, described the virtues of their prospective candidate Stuart King as "the local man to be our next MP".
In the 2006 council elections, one of the Lib Dem candidates for the Graveney ward in Tooting came under a personal attack from Labour for not being local to Tooting, living as he did in Putney.
Stuart has lived in Graveney for some years - so by the same token he cannot now claim to be local to Putney.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Hugh Brown
Chairman, Putney Liberal Democrats
