I'm afraid that all this political pettiness that you are obsessed with stems from political bias from the controlling group in the first place.

I live in Spring Hill ward , and will have my grit delivered eventually . The side streets around here are not gritted . I never expected delivery during the unforseen early spell of very wintry weather . I am not going to blame the council for being behind any dates it promised .
Yes the scheme could have been planned better . I would have gone for a delivery to every house in the borough , but I am not going to go overboard and damn the council for it because Hyndburn is faced with issues of far greater importance which are not being addressed by its councillors .
You say I am obsessed with political pettiness . You admit that it exists . I have a democratic right to express my annoyance and anger at it . I am not some populist party political animal , so I will continue to vex my anger .
You say that the pettiness stems from the controlling group . No doubt some of it does . But don't make out that Labour , Old Labour , New Labour , whatever you want to call it , is squeaky clean in this regard . We aren't so gullible .
