Its ok mate call a spade a spade.
I think you are suggesting that by not giving him his license back then the Asian taxi drivers, family, community, etc etc might vote for a different Councillor at the next elections.
We can't say that is the case here of course but it is exactly why it should be down to employed Officers and not elected Councillors to make these decisions.

Who would not want the leader of the Council as his/her Ward Councillor? If anyone can sort out a problem for St Andrews Ward residents it must be him.

If Labour had been in control of the Council I might have voted differently. I think it is much more useful if you have a problem having a Ward Councillor whose party are in control of the Council. Selfish voting? Probably yes.

I know this reply is a bit sketchy but this subject is getting a little sensitive, regards,Ian.

its not only the council who are making these dodgy deciisions but also the police via the ethnic minorities division at greenbank. a lot of the councillers make personal visits to this corrupt team and so called political decisions have been made for the benefit of some criminals.

well it is completely selfish and you must remember that through the actions of your leader a lot of innocent peoples lives have been affected for the simple reason that you liked having your jobs done. if your leader was a man of integrity than i could understand your vote.

Shame.

If more people had voted for Gayle in our ward last election, it might be a different story now.

I remember you saying you were voting for the candidate with the biggest ***'s. Instead you voted for the big ***, singular.

(Sorry about the *'s, not really being rude, as any Blue Tit will tell you.

This is something I am not familiar with spinner, so i'll pass on this one.

There should never be a barging factor in a case like this there are members of public at risk because of it. The answer should be an automatic and perminent withdrawl of the licence.

Sent him for councilling then stuck him behind a desk. If they can get away with beating up a tenager then this would be an easy one for them. Police like others are there to protect the public and their rights alledgedly but now it seems its a case of protect their own the same as councillors it would seem.

I have just received an e-mail from Councillor Brian Roberts. In it he tells me that the cross party committee made decisions on information that was available at that time....new information has come to light and the effect of this is the the licence has been suspended with immediate effect.

Now isn't that good news?

Margaret Pilkington · 19-03-2007, 12:30

I wonder if the members of Accyweb had anything to do with this decision?

That's great news Margaret, no I don't think accweb has any influence on Council decisions, it may have been a case of sore backsides.

If we are taken as a cross section of the general public, then yes, Accyweb has done its bit by showing peoples fellings on this issue.
