Well she has done b***** all for Clayton since elected. (read my thread on p7)
Thats probably how she thinks she has so much time on her hands to go for both!
Re Graham; Prison walls are usually commisioned by the same 2.2.1. politicians, then passed on to the public to build, filled with Archers, who can have a better time on the inside than out, (ref Mike Harding: Strangeways Hotel!) & use it as a college for furthering their criminal education. Somwewhat of a strange analogy to use, don't you think?

it was an analogy. an extension to the 'tortured mind' concept. An englishmans home is his castle.
A lot of people on this board adopt this thought process. See something - make a conclusion - stick to it because changing causes neurosis - make all other facts fit regardless - dont accept others points at all cost [thats like pulling you finger out of the dike hole] - dont debate the issue properly, instead undermine them personally using name calling [ie avoid debating the issueing] - when they are worn down by this, reaffirm to yourself you were right all along. Net result - your own neurosis and hang ups are contained - job done.
Now why dont we go to places your frightened to go to and discuss properly the issues. You never know you might find a healthier mind and a broader outlook.
Try this one for starters: Theres a Leeds council estate where crime has plummeted. All the usual reasons. More police, bobbies on the beat, community police, tough legislation on tenants, Anti-Social Behaviour. Resident/police targeting blah blah. The crimnals, the wasters, fraudsters are on the run. The tenants run the pub, the chip shop, the community centre, the streets are safer and the houses are getting done up. And those with ASBOs you can read all about by picking up a leaflet at any of these points. Names, address's, photo, reasons for ASBO, what their ASBO is, maps, bans and instant hotline number to report them. Breach of ASBO means custody.
Here's the kicker, the council in consultation is putting asylum seekers and immigrants in the vacant properties in consultation with residents because, and I quote the residents; "they make good tenants" unlike the white dross the council has booted off the estate that caused all the problems. The tenants are more scared of white people moving in the estate than foreigners. Whats does that say?
Perversly a TORY/BNP cry is that violent crime is out of control. Well no-one associates violent crime with asian people. So whose that aimed at then? I am sure there is a TORY BNP excuse that fits rather than a balanced view. I await to hear it.
So whats this got to do with Accy? A lot. If you had a young family and could only afford a house up Ormorod street [Asian area] or Woodnook [whote area] or india street area [asian area] - three of the poorest areas in town - your risking your families health, wellbeing and safety if you choose the white area, Woodnook. Your family is safer and healthier in a cleaner better place ie the two asian areas. Less crime, more friendly neighbours, kids are safe. [And dont give me any crap about have you seen this and that - check woodnook out first and then come back and try and make that argument]
All Britains problems are not down to asian people or immigrants, in fact most intelligent people realise the opposite and are not taken in by scare stories. Even Digby Jones says quotas are rubbish and approx. 130,000 immigrants are needed each year. No one has mentionted that vast numbers of these people return home, the racists just multipy them all like they all stay and say the figure are the tip orf the iceberg. What planet is someone with that mindset on?
