Despite everything that is being done to prevent a swift demise for Accrington there is derision.

I want clear answers from this forum as to what members would do instead because from what I can see people are happy to slag off HBC for letting it die yet happy to slag off HBC for trying to prop it up. Given the state of shopping centres around the country I am happy with what we are trying to do but I would like to hear what others would do.

Answers please.
Ken describes the dilemma of politics - that any action will be thought wrong, often even by one's allies. I expect builders, teachers, doctors, lawyers, musicians and the rest to have particular, useful skill in their work and that politicians will be on the list. Ken appears to have no such way to avoid or resolve this dilemma save that of asking for others' comment. I find this honest but distressing.
