When he did come on he got exactly that. He barely received debate or feedback - just personal insults. Now whether it was a good idea to come on with a pretentious name, I'd suggest not. It however does not really deserve the backlash it got, a gentle hint would have been a much better way of ensuring he stay apart of our community, which is after all what you all want right, for him to stay apart of our community so you can discuss things with him. Must of course point out that if you had anything important to discuss you could e-mail or phone him. I've had a much better response from him than I have from Graham Jones and Bernard Dawson. One refused to give me a Labour budget figure missing from council minutes that I needed for my research project, the other declined to respond. I got a brilliant response from Malcolm Prichard however.  |
Blimey, his ego must be more fragile than an orchid.
It's hard to fathom we are talking about the same Cllr. Britcliffe, who it was reported in the press called a fellow councillor a 'silly cow' at a public meeting.
Perhaps that's why he's twice been rejected by the people of Hyndburn, when he's stood in the General Election.
The good people of Hyndburn must be worried his delicate consititution wouldn't be up to the cut and thrust of life in Westminster.
Bless him.
