If

Rudyard Kipling said it best in the poem If. If you can treat victory and defeat in the same manner. Well today I was defeated and by some margin and I accept that defeat graciously. I am slightly concerned however that what has actually happened today has isolated the people in Hilperton. So I therefor make this committment to you. I will work to deliver the things I talked about regardless of my loss and I will do this because I understand that these things are important to those individuals. I will not allow the new councillor respite because there are things that need doing and they need doing NOW! And the sad thing is that much of them could have been done under the previous administration.
