Cllr. Reg Shore,
Liberal Democrat (Stow Ward), has surprised many with comments made to the
Lincolnshire Echo, in an article published today, about the local election contest for West Lindsey District Council due on Thursday, 5th May 2011. Cllr. Shore is quoted as saying:
"I don't agree with Nick. I never have and that's based on the issue of student fees."

The shock disclosure that Cllr. Shore does not and has not ever supported Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat Leader is somewhat at odds with the facts. Cllr. Shore having appeared in election literature last year with Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for the Gainsborough Constituency, Cllr. Pat O'Conner, and the Deputy Prime Minister.
Cllr. Shore is also reported to have provided the following withering critique of his leader:
"Nick Clegg will not sort flooding or has vision for West Lindsey".
However, one of Cllr. Shore's district and county colleagues described him as 'Canute' - a man who sat in the waters as they rose during his time of leadership of West Lindsey District Council in 2007.
