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.

Well I always thought that when people came from overseas to settle in this country was to improve there lives, not carry on banging on about what is happening back home, to me if they were that concerned why not stay home and help change things from the inside not the outside looking in, just my thoughts on the matter
