Well, I have done mine...but I bet it doesn't get into print.
Here is a copy:
With reference to the letter from Peter Britcliffe in last weeks Accrington Observer.
What a pathetic, petulant rant, more suited to have come from a primary school child than the supposedly articulate adult leader of HBC.
I would consider it to be essential for the leader of the council to possess the ability of clear and logical thinking. His letter is worrying because it demonstrates no evidence of such ability.
Does the leader of the council seriously believe that Gayle Knight is standing against him in the local elections in a fit of pique, because he and his cohorts blocked the building of the Panopticon?
Surely he must know and appreciate the commitment, work and effort that go into standing in the local election.
Gayle Knight is a working mother of two small children, she has enough to do without going to such far fetched lengths of seeking revenge.
She is a politically aware individual who believes that she can make a difference to the quality of life for the people of her local community - THAT is why she is standing in the local elections.
The message I would like to convey to Peter Britcliffe is 'Get real and get a life' and I fear that after the local elections it may change to 'Get a job'.
And before the esteemed leader levels any criticism at me, I would like to point out that I have NO political affiliations, I am not related to Gayle Knight and know her only in the capacity of reading her column in the paper.
And by the way......if the rant was the effect of Nicotine withdrawal......maybe someone could give HBC's leader a cigarette and see if that helps him to see the situation more clearly.
