PB used this in full council and credited it to McMillan. Funny.

No, what is funny is that you are taking the mick out of somebody attributing a quote to the wrong person, when you got it wrong yourself.

It was actually Adlai Stevenson, a Democratic presidential candidate in 1952.

For you to use the quote, well its rich, I would expect nothing less from a 'Whiter than White' Labour party.

Is it any wonder people in this country are sick to death of politics and the number of voters constantly on the decline. Apart from the broken promises so often issued at voting time, this thread is typical of how people in politics behave. My dad is bigger than your dad, yeah well my mum is bigger than your mum. We have children who call each other names less than some of you lot

I think it would be helpful all round if you tried to come to some to these meetings.

It was made famous by Harold Wilson. Not made famous my Harold McMillan. Adlai Stevenson did say it on 1952. Of course that meant nothing here till Wilson said it. William Randolph Hearst in 1906 said it Charles Hughes in the first person.

Andrew, don't be smarty pants. We can all search the internet.

To get back to the original issue, what would happen if these allegations in Central ward turned out to be true?

Having now read the article it is nice to see our public officials acting responsibly and not accusing electoral fraud publicly before an investigation is finished.

What article?

Well, we started off discussing it then got onto all sorts of other things.

Gayle · 02-06-2008, 17:48

I realise that - just wondered how we'd got to page 8 and Andrew had only just read the article so thought he was talking about something else.

*LMAO* @ this thread

i find it honestly amazing t ali dared to complain about this. cause if everyone was being honest - they're all criminals for doing so. i'm not gonna go emailing evidence to anyone as this crap will happen no matter what - you think it sorted out bradford after the convictions there? still happens there...

its an infestation within the asian community. like in pakistan leaders pay ppl to vote for them this is similar - corruption within itself. if i was gonna be totally honest - just count the non asian folks votes and thats your winner.

this is turnin more nad more bitter and personal. attacks are more personal than business.

all the asian candidates know what dutty lil tricks they all get upto. no one shud b proud of their glass house.

Thanks for that Mani, it takes guts to say things like that, the thing is its been going on for years, by all parties not just one, as you rightly put those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
