Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.

The situation in the rented sector in this borough is abysmal. Ok we need more low cost houses to buy, but with the wages most people are earning in this borough, they will never be able to own their own homes. Why should, those of us, who are fortunate to be homeowners, turn a blind eye to the poor housing in the privately rented sector. The landlords are only interested in making big profits, and have scant regard for the conditions they expect their tenants to live in, whilst charging sky high rents. At the same time they are forcing down the house prices of the existing owner occupiers in areas, such as Woodnook, which means they can buy up even more houses at rock bottom prices to make even more money.
Could Jaysay, please can you explain, why it is more important to make cheep jibes at Graham Jones, (who is a hard working councillor, who is trying to improve the living conditions of his ward (Peel) and wants to make the whole borough a better place to live in, for everyone) than to start to tackle the real problems of this once proud borough.
Surely as Leader of the Council for 5 out of years last 6 years, Peter Britcliffe should hold up his hands and say he has got it completely wrong (I would have expressed it in more graphical terms – but don’t want to be accussed of using ‘vile’ language. The phrase ‘Fiddling whilst Rome Burned’ springs to mind. Can you please tell me when he is going to come back from cloud cuckoo land and join the real world,

That television is the perfect example of the Tory free market economy at it's best.

Cheap to run and produces very few winners.

Lets not make quick remarks about the Tory ideologies shall we, or do we have to bring up 1997 and how the lefties had to become right wing to win an election?

Re: Observer plug for Accy Web.

John (anonymously known as jaysay on here), you wrote in the ob,

"...(all the leters are my own work) I have always had my name and address published. This is unlike some people who hide behind pen names or ask for their names to be withheld. If you're not prepared to put your name to a letter and have it published then it's not even worth sending".

Why are you publishing letters/comments on here under a nome de plume then?

Good point. Both Gayle Knight and Graham Jones post under there own names on here.

...and Cyfer I'll post exactly what I like about Tory policies. In 1997 you could say new Labour became a lot more right wing to win middle England, just as David Cameron is moving to the left with his gay friendly, multi-ethnic, women biased lists of contenders for by-elections. Bless.

I don't agree with you either. A leader should motivate his/her people. When necessary he/she needs to find ways to motivate them as well, not the other way round as you suggest.

I'm afriad democracy is available to both sides no matter if you're left or right. I fail to see why moving towards a more representative set of MP's is somehow leftwing.

I still stand by my words, some people simply are not interested in politics, and never will be no matter what leader they are given.

I`m no apologist for Graham Jones and don`t share his politics, but this sort of name calling is a little childish from a grown man.

Very True ..................

That is where 99.9 % of all politicians/councillors fail (That is why council workers NEVER do a full day or job, NO leadership).................. they are people that cant hack it in other lines of leadership IE business....

Imagine if Richard Branson could be convinced into using his skills for hynburn council ???

Hyndburn would be a totally different place.....

I'm not the one writing to the paper berating people that have a nom de plume. My luscious locked mug is all over the gallery, as is my name if people were really that interested in knowing it.

Garinda was a name I aquired in Glasgow. 'Gary-in-da-house'.

Which is what the excited masses whispered when I deigned a visitation on an establishment.

Very interesting its okay to attack Britcliffe but you cry fould when people turn on poor Graham. Britcliffe can't be doing a bad jod for the people he represents (St. Andrews Ward) Ithink hes just been reelected for the 8th time since 1983
