Hyndburn's very own Blue Carbuncle, you might say.
I'm already on record for saying that I will not vote against my own party, although abstention is not ruled out as a worst case scenario. They still took me on board. My view of joining any group is that by and large you abide by their majority decisions or ship out, there is very little point being part of it otherwise.
The difference with the Conservatives, and in this instance I do refer to a personality, is that I simply could not go along with the whims of Peter Britcliffe. The man has a monster of an ego and spends public money with gay abandon, something I know Miles Parkinson would never countenance or in any way echo as Leader of the Council.
My status as a miser with public money is more or less confirmed and as Treasurer for the Hyndburn Labour group they are now rapidly coming to terms with my questioning every last penny that gets spent.
Hyndburn can't afford a trough, it's time to realise that.
