If we are mistaken, and H.B.C. are now fully intending to be a big player on the political world stage, perhaps we can look forward to them also condemning Pakistan's appalling record on human rights abuses, at the next meeting of the full council?
We'll just have to wait, and see.

Excuse be for being a tad ignorant on this matter, but don't we elect an MP to represent the people of hyndburn on international affairs, I always thought our representatives on HBC were there to tackle the more mundane task that crop up at a local level day to day, it now appears that the MP doesn't want to represent the views of his constituents and councillors are more interesting in national affairs, funny old world ain't it
