Angry Re: Howarth Art gallery

Good Grief, you turn your back for five minutes and the next thing you know they are selling off the family silver!

I am more than aware that the clowns who inhabit HBC would be hard pressed to run a bath if their lives depended on it and so it comes as little surprise to hear that between them they have managed to run down Haworth Art Gallery to the point where they can no longer afford to do the repairs. It was ever thus. In my own time of working at the gallery under the sainted Norman Potter, I recall that he had the devil of a job persuading the council to fork out for even the most basic of repairs.

So much is bad enough. But the very idea that the Idiot-in-Chief and his sychophants are contemplating selling it off to LCC (another organisation that does not understand the meaning of the word "maintenance", you should have seen the state they left Dyke Nook in when they had finished with it - ask Atarah!) is beyond belief. Of course Accy Webber's are dead right to suspect that there is some sort of underhanded dealing in all this.

And there was the lovely Gayle, only yesterday, wittering on about how HBC are going to run Ossy Civic Theatre as a business... for profit...Don't make me laugh Gayle, HBC could not find their own backsides, even if they used both hands! AS A BUSINESS??? MAKE A PROFIT????? What is Britcliffe paying you to shovel his propaganda for him??? This would be hilarious if it weren't so tragically, desperately, S A D!

The Gallery and its contents were left to the people of Accrington. There is a big bronze plaque in the hallway which says just that. It belongs to the people, not HBC! And I am certain that the people, if consulted, would never agree to its sale, whether to LCC or anyone else for that matter.

I would like to hear what our lovely Graham Jones's position is on this matter. and then I want the equally lovely Gayle to tell us that it is all just an unsubtantiated rumour with absolutely no substance to it whatsoever.

Then I think that Gayle might enthrall us all with a little transparency and fully explain her links to HBC and the odious Britcliffe.


And you needn't think that I will let this drop, because I won't until I get an answer!!!!!
