Mr Drayton made the announcement on the <https://NextDoor.co.uk> hyper-local social networking platform. Mr Drayton repeated that, although the questions would be sent via email, replies would be welcomed in textual, audio, or even video form. "I do a bit of tech myself and I know a few people so I'll certainly do my best to upload whatever content I get - so there's no excuse for refusing to be held accountable. After all, if candidates resist being so held at election time, how the hell are they going to behave in office?" Mr Drayton also confirmed that his SubStack (at <https://DraytonMark.SubStack.com>) would be the "centre of operations," but also that other social network platforms would be "drawn into the circle," enabling questions to be posed publically (as comments below the master copy of this very news release at <https://DraytonMark.SubStack.com/p/news-release-3>, or privately by email, NextDoor message, or even SMS (to 07933 760031). Entirely predictably, Mr Drayton couldn't resist further adding that, ideally, residents should join the <https://NextDoor.co.uk> social-networking platform/app rather than relying on Facebook, say. "I don't trust that censorship-loving [Mark] Zuckerberg bastard any further than I could comfortably excrete him," Mr Drayton has previously explained. As we reported six days ago, Mr Drayton's views regarding Mr Zuckerberg are all-too-well known to readers of his 'Wednesday Headway' SubStack columns, part of his so-called 'Drayton Download': on 8th & 15th September 2021 Mr Drayton re-posted a long article by British-born science journalist Nicholas Wade defending the 'lab-leak' hypothesis of Covid-19's origin; Mr Drayton's brief introduction (at <https://draytonmark.substack.com/p/wed-head-xxv-pt1>) forthrightly condemned Facebook for censoring discussion of the theory. Mr Zuckerberg remains unavailable for comment.
