MARTLEW HITS BACK AT CITY TORIES' 'TAXMAN' CLAIM

The Legalise Cannabis Alliance is to put up candidates in
Cumbria.

Alston woman Lezley Gibson, who has campaigned for the drug to be used
to alleviate the suffering of multiple sclerosis sufferers, is
standing in Carlisle.

In 2001 a crown court jury in Carlisle cleared her of possessing the
drug after hearing how she used it to ease her multiple sclerosis.

Her husband Mark will stand in Penrith and the Border and 37-year-old
John Peacock from Silloth will stand for the party in Workington.
