Get into bed with the devil.....
Blackburn finance chief: 'We don?t want to be an Accrington? (From Lancashire Telegraph)
While our council have been so supportive of BwDC in fighting Whitebirk...this shows exactly how highly thought of HBC are by their Blackburn colleagues. Said it earlier in this thread, Blackburn council has an ulterior motive, Hyndburn council are just there to be used and discarded. (The lib-dems of the anti-Whitebirk coalition)
And what's the comeback from our illustrious leader...'pub talk'...which, when you think about it, is an insult to all us ordinary people who discuss issues over a pint. Classing everyone who chats to their friends about stuff that affects them as 'unthinking boors'..the only thing that surprises me about this story is the lack of an 'I do smile at' quote from Mossy or an 'I know more than you' from Graham Jones.
Miles Parkinson is a damned disgrace (cue implied threat from G.Jones about posting personal attacks resulting in jail time)..how dare he denigrate his electorate in this way..I have a challenge for him...he said 'he is creating jobs'...prove it! Show me these jobs that have been created as a result of his policy, because all I hear at council meetings is guff about betting terminals and various other things better left to parliament and zero about 'job creation'!
When are these muppets going to realise that a retail park at Whitebirk is only detrimental to Blackburn, whilst with reasonable negotiation it could be beneficial to Hyndburn?
