Messiah at St Jamess Hall Impresses London Audience

West Landiorps and The Late Election Notices to Quit
A report claims many tenants who voted against Tory landlords at the late election face notices to quit. Landowners reportedly plan to extend this to other tenants, with Conservatives printing a district vote register to aid discrimination. The Carmarthen mayor and others are named in the action, tied to landlord Karl Cawdor. The move sparks outcry but supporters view it as progress toward ballots.
