HOPE you've all managed to read the Big Interview by now. If not, click on the image above.
Here's the Q&A from tha interview which I've saved as a treat to my loyal blog reader(s).
McKENNA ON...
...GORDON BROWN
“I think he made a mistake not calling a General Election last autumn. He should have done because we’d have won and Cameron would have been finished.
“He’ll prove over the next 12 months that he’s a very good Prime Minister.”
...DAVID CAMERON
“He’s certainly no Tony Blair because he got the party to drop Clause Four. Cameron has yet to take his party with him when it comes to change, with the grammar schools row being a good example.”
...DONATIONS
“We’re in danger of seeing all of politics as corrupt, and actually it’s better here than a lot of countries this world.
“The business of politics is expensive and the rules for donations are extremely complex, as we’ve seen with what’s happened to Peter Hain, David Cameron and George Osborne.”
...WEST LANCS DISTRICT COUNCIL
“I’d like to see it go for unitary authority status. I think Bill Taylor (chief executive) and Les Abernethy (deputy chief executive) deserve the chance to show what they can do on a bigger scale.”
...COUNCILLORS
“They should be paid more but have fewer of them. Afterall, I’ve never had anyone come to me asking more more bureaucracy and yet that’s what we give them.”
...ADRIAN OWENS
“Adrian is a very able public debater but he’d feel more comfortable in a Thatcher-led party. It’ll be interesting to see the differences which appear between him and David Cameron.
“The last West Lancs Tory MP, Ken Hind, was very consensual so Adrian is the best candidate for us fight.”
