I can't speak for Neil but I find the content to be boring but the attitude with which it is applied is absolutely fascinating.

Sorry that was my poor attempt at humour.

Perhaps by then the Observer will have done a full expose on him and we'll finally find out who 'deep throat' really is?

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Ianto,

I refer to your post (135). It is a question I have been asking myself. I note from the Accrington Observer today that Mr Britcliffe is astounded and appalled that Councillor Jones is raising the awareness of some issues at the time of the elections. Frankly, I cannot think of a better time for such issues to be raised. After all, it is about the only time such matters get taken seriously by political parties since they are keen to secure votes. What exactly does Mr Britcliffe want the voting public to be exposed to, if not issues that affect them directly?

Since Mr Britcliffe insists it is not good form to discuss such matters, I shall turn my attention to something entirely different. How about the merits of Mr Kazi as the next Mayor of Hyndburn, which I understand he is seeking to become.

Here is my view. I cannot think of a more appalling nomination. I jest not.

Neil,

You are right. I shall not be attending on Saturday. Perhaps because I shall be too busy detailing my personal life to the Observer for the 'expose'

Incidentally, I think Councillor Jones is conspicuous by his absence. I hope he has not received a slap on the wrists by the 'cleaners'?

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

The role of Mayor, the council leadership, and for that matter the whole council should be abolished and replaced by a “People's Protectorate”… this committee would have the power to bring to book anyone who’s actions are not deemed to be in line with the overall good of the people (what is deemed to be for the good of the people will be decided by the said committee).

At this juncture I humbly put myself forward as the Chairman of the People's Protectorate of Accrington.

Any ideas about who the first one politician to get the chop should be.

I personally see the role of Mayor as unnecessary and quite frankly a waste of public money.

Maybe you or someone else could enlighten me as to the purpose and worth of having a Mayor.

So that we can block Broadway with a fairground ride and thus prevent the shopkeepers on there from making any profit, after all we don't want a thriving town centre do we?

Gondola, lighten up - Neil was joking and if you'd care to read any other threads you'll see that there is plenty of banter that flies around.
