Kemptown candidate movements - of the campaigning kind

So what have the Kemptown candidates been up to lately? Here’s a round up from the Web and their blogsites:

Simon Burgess (Labour & Co-op) – ran the marathon (and finished 7286th in 6hrs 48mins 01secs); schmoozed with comic Eddie Izzard (I wouldn’t mind that job), endured a visit from John Prescott (he can keep that one though); attended the Brighton Question Time climate change debate run by One Vote 2010.

James Chamberlain-Webber (UKIP) – also attended the Brighton Question Time climate change debate where he disagreed with all the other parliamentary candidates on climate change being man-made and the need to curb Gatwick’s proposed runway expansion. (That’s all I could find out about James and his plodding along the campaign trail.)

Ben Duncan (Green) – also ran the Brighton Marathon (and finished 4075th in 4hrs 43mins 59secs); attended the Brighton Question Time climate debate; planted wild flowers in the green clean up around Eastern Road; documented his every action and thought on Twitter here.

Dave Hill (Trade Unionist & Socialist Coalition) gave an interview to the Argus on why he’s standing as a candidate (all candidates have been invited to do so and I think it’s being published today); drove around Kemptown with a loud speaker speaking loudly on the back of a transit (I think it was politically focused rather than calling for rag & bone).

Simon Kirby (Conservative) – did not attend the Brighton Question Time climate debate, blogged about Conservative Party national policy/manifesto; sent me an email with the subject line HELLO.

Martin Taylor (Official Monster Raving Loony Party) – not sure what he’s been up to; he has probably been raving about like a loony and acting as a monster…in an official capacity.

Juliet Williams (LibDem) – she has been very busy; got Paul Chandler (Election Agent) to send me an email about their campaign literature; she got Mark Collins (LibDem Brighton & Hove Membership Development Secretary) to attend the Brighton Question Time climate change debate which begs the question…is she actually in the British Virgin Isles, margarita in-hand?

And that my dears, is all that I have been able to find out. More as it happens, as ever.
