Personally I think it's funny.
Yet another example of just how bad this current lot of councillors are at public relations, especially in regards to the press.
'The survey, undertaken by independent consultants, quizzed 181 local parents...'
Hyndburn play area smoke ban wins support (From Lancashire Telegraph)
So basically it was Gayle Knight, and the Green candidate woman from that 'ethical' co-op, asking people if they thought that blowing smoke in a kiddie's face, whilst it was strapped in a baby swing, was wrong.
Hardly shock findings. More like common sense.
Not up there with night vision dog turds, but still amusingly bad, and yet another example of this Labour council's skill at public misinformation.
It's like them making a big song and dance about the Portas pilot thing, as if it was already in the bag. When in reality they'd acquired a lottery ticket, and had a miniscule chance of winning a prize.
Looks bad, when nothing comes of it. Which also happened with the announcement about Blackburn Road's tarting up, which again came to nothing.
Some of these numpties may now be responsible for massive budgets, finances provided by the tax payer, but if their role was a professional job, most of them wouldn't get a reply if they applied for it, nevermind get a first interview.
Always more impressive if you can actually play a tune...when blowing your own trumpet.
Rather than just making some big din.
