It’s a bit like politics – people will think what they want to think. What we want to do is effectively focus down hard on who we are and what we do.” The Clydebank member said:“I want to thank all of those people who are the blue rinse brigade or not who go to these meetings year in, year out. The Conservative Women's Organisation ( CWO) represents the female members of the Conservative Party in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. I was brought up in Westbourne in the 1940s and 1950s, and there was a 'feel' of age here – but I was young and everyone seemed old to me. Southbourne also had a similar image. But that was all 70 years ago – and like everywhere else, the world has changed.

As of 2014-15, the number of retired people moving here only exceeded those moving away by around 200. But a debate broke out in which campaigning councillor Jim Bollan said his experience of community councils were of people looking for something to occupy them rather than highlighting the key issues of their area. Senior Tories admit privately that the cultural unit will challenge the party's powerful local associations up and down the country, which are usually controlled by older party members who have a habit of selecting only white men to fight parliamentary seats. "Elements of the blue rinse brigade are a barrier to bringing in a more diverse membership," one party source said.But he adds that most will probably shrug it off, as they did with Rory Stewart's opium confession.

I wholeheartedly believe that Bournemouth is one of the most vibrant and exciting destinations in the UK,” he says. Until we get people on the community councils who are going to look at the issues I have raised they won’t get the opportunity to grow and reflect the issues that communities want to be raised and dealt with. Councillor Bollan argued that there needed to be more people willing to promote change in their community. Read More Related Articles

The Archbishop of Westminster, the Rt Revd Vincent Nichols, said: “Only when we are clearly prepared to change the way we live will politicians be able to achieve the change we say we want to see.” It was time to “live simply, so that others may simply live”. When Karen had to take time off due to illness, Sally entered the fray in 1967 as a temporary replacement lead singer. Sally was due to leave for a life in America after 3 months but she changed her mind when the boys asked her to join Part Three. It was obvious that the band could no longer continue to perform part time since they were now very much in demand all over the UK. Hairdressers used hydrogen and ammonia to turn tresses pale yellow, but the secret to achieving that silvery shimmer was a blue chemical solution called a “blue rinse.” It wasn’t an outrageous idea, since people were already accustomed to brightening their white linens with bluing agents. Almost immediately, beauticians and advice columnists started recommending blue rinses to older women as a way to restore luster to their gray or yellowish-white hair.
