{"pk":2135,"title":"Tony Tomkins - Independent Erdington","description":"I don’t know about you but I’m utterly fed up with the fact that most MP’s are just in\r\nit for themselves. The numerous broken promises and frequent political scandals are,\r\nquite frankly, pathetic. You really do get the impression that they are all as bad as\r\neach other and what we really need to do is throw the lot of them out and start again!\r\nA bit radical I know but here in Erdington you have a unique opportunity to elect me,\r\na local businessman who is prepared to go to Parliament and put Erdington on the\r\nmap. When I was a child we used to shop in Erdington – there was a department\r\nstore and a whole array of decent shops. I appreciate that times move on but the\r\nHigh Street has a really rundown feeling about it and it needs to be improved. Again\r\nwhen I was a child, Erdington had 3 grammar schools which served local kids well –\r\nnow it has none – why not?","party":{"party_id":null,"party_name":null},"people":[],"images":[{"image":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/leaflets/1855c69d2c80c124f662cd3ddba0492f.jpg","image_type":null},{"image":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/leaflets/62e950f87d3bf0e5e29eb568823a38ff.jpg","image_type":null}],"first_page_thumb":"https://images.electionleaflets.org/thumbs/350/leaflets/1855c69d2c80c124f662cd3ddba0492f.png","date_uploaded":"2010-04-21T14:30:12+01:00","date_delivered":"2010-04-20T00:00:00+01:00","status":"live"}
