Lastly, reference once again to Graham Jones 'misusing' his position to improve the landscaping on the street where he owns one of his two houses. The last little bit is a bit of a spin. Seemed like she was clutching at a few straws to deride them.
Finishes up by stating "This stinks and we should get rid of the lot of them; Labour is rotten to the core"
Just thought it was a very childish letter .. bit like when Jaysay strikes out with meaningless insults (sorry Jaysay .. luvs ya' really).
Think it did Labour more of a favour, particularly as they had a lovely photograph of Graham looking smart in his suit, holding the mike as if he was going to give us a rendering of The Red Flag ..  |
It made me howl.
She may have dropped the 'Cllr.' from before her name, which we usually see in the paper, everytime she's wearing a daft Victorian bonnet etc, and kept her address hidden, but if she thinks people don't realise she had an 'hidden' agenda, she's woefully underestimated the people of Hyndburn's intelligence.
Her bonnets may be daft, but the people of the area aren't.
Since she was so keen to mention expenses, perhaps there might be some scathing reply to her letter, asking why she, and the ruling Conservative party on H.B.C., voted in favour of increasing their expenses, beyond the recommended limits, set by an independent body.
