Even stranger is that Cllr. Pritchard refers to himself in the third person, and says he 'knows him'. Let's hope he does know him!

Cllr. Britcliffe once posted on here in the third person. Perhaps it's all the fashion.

Shouldn't people who have conversations, or talk to themselves, seek psychiatric help?

Amongst all this questioning of local politics etc...

Can I just throw in the ring ...

I got a lovely hand written thank you card (none party cards) from our new local councillor Ciaran Wells for the support in displaying his and Grahams posters in my window. Thought it was a lovely gesture

thanks Ciaran, little gestures like that go a long way

I got a nice letter from that well brought up lady from the coast, who popped across to see us. Thanking me for my work in helping to raise her profile.

Karen something.

Can't remember her surname, but lovely handwriting.

What happened to transparency and openess?

In the interest of true independence I, along with many others, would be interested in Cllr. Pritchard's reasons for leaving his last party, and his reasons for backing the party that'll form the majority party at H.B.C.
I have not spoken with Malcolm, I don't think we have ever met either.

Why has no one asked the members of the Labour party on here what happened when Malcolm left the Labour party, I am sure they all know the reasons but don't appear to want to shout about it either.

Graham Jones was the top dog at the time but I don't remember him openly explaining the reasons either.

thats crap to me as then it would be second hand information, it should come straight from the horses mouth in the first instance surely?

Maybe they all stayed quiet for there own reasons. Its hardly second hand information if it came from Graham. He should have been the party spokesperson at the time.

Exactly.

He seems keen to share his reasons, by the private message system on here, but doesn't have the strength of his convictions to do it publicly, apparently.

Like Cashy, I'd rather hear the reasons from the actual source, not some secondhand interpretation, of what others think the reasons might be.

It is secondhand.

Cllr. Pritchard says he'll pm you his reasons.

His reasons are the most important.

No one else's.

He was the one that left one party to become 'independent'.
