Think that ideas a total boggy Less, people may not like him or his political style, but I think if there had have been any skeletons in the cupboard the Labour Party would have found out about them long ago, heaven knows they've tried everything else to try and get rid of him and failed miserably every time

Which is how our current Leader justifies every unpopular move, by playing on the confusion of the majority of the electorate and bringing national politics in to excuse poor local decisions. I'm sure Labour council leaders have used the same tactics in the past but it doesn't excuse it. I have already said frequently to my own group that we should shy away from national party politics and just get on with it when power eventually shifts.

Good public services are all the public really give a toss about.

If at first you don't succeed...


Cue for the usual jokes.

You can be guaranteed transparency from me, possibly too much sometimes, but if I can stay awake long enough myself I will let you know some Hyndburn folk stories.

I'm looking forward to seeing the unedited manuscripts about some innocent voters being tempted into a forest by a monster with a trail of empty promises who then finds he can't see the wood for the trees.

There's always a lesson to be learned from fairytales - never promise what you can't deliver.

Ken, that is spot on....the fact that he is an egomaniacal leader might also have something to do with why he blames everyone but himself..........whatever he thinks, he has to be accountable.

I can say categorically that we are not.

He even brought it up in full council that he wouldn't be adding me as a friend.

How soundly I slept that night.

Cllr Wells, someone who far exceeds my own abilities both as a politician and a public speaker, got told the same at a subsequent meeting. The 60-odd year old Leader of the Council more interested in Facebook than giving a straight answer to his 20-something opponent.

That's what we're up against.

Accrington Web is brought up every time now as well. His paid team of researchers should be online anytime to make sure that we aren't being libellous.

Well, I say 'we'.......
