Apparently they number 4,200.

So presumably, our council voted to officially support this resolution in their name.

Even though the 4,200 are residents in Hyndburn, just the same as everyone else, and I thought the council said we are all supposed to be equal.

So you'd have thought Hyndburn Borough Council would be encouraging us all to identify, first and foremost, as Hyndburnians, seeing as they our local council.

Being so divisive doesn't foster thoughts of equalness.

Mmmmm .... "what it means to be a Kashmiri living in Hyndburn" ... let me think about this one Maybe it means you are a hell of a lot better off than a Kashmiri living in Kashmir .... kind of a no brainer, eh
