What a big buch of hollyhocks!

Since we already have laws on our statute books, to prevent discrimination on every conceivable ground, do we really need all this guff in local government?

If Hyndburn Borough Council carry out their business to the letter of the law, they'll be discriminating against no one.

I wonder how much time, and money's being put in to this, in order for H.B.C. to achievie 'excellence in providing an equal service' status?

I'm begining to have flashbacks, that I'm still living in loony Lambeth, or Liverpool again.

Let's hope we get a nice framed award.

Showing just how pathetically liberal we are.
