I'm all for fair and honest reporting.

Yes. It is strange how the principles of one small northern town are directly transferable to another. To extend the correlation further, it is also noteworthy how in Burnley some of the Councillors were also unfit for purpose. I seem to recall that a few months ago, two Asian Councillors were sent to prison for vote rigging. Yet they still refused to resign their positions, and suggested that if they were made to resign they would stand as independent candidates.
Similarly in Blackburn, an Asian Councillor was sent to prison for the same. Ironically, he would have won had he not sought to fiddle the returning officer. Im sure they will all return as 'community leaders'.
