Re: General Election?
Poor Bob, this is obviously something close to your heart. You deride me for voting in favour and then chide me for taking a distanced stance. I'm afraid I have singularly failed to be on the reciving end of this national and international ridicule of which you speak, or even be made aware of it. I would gently advise you to keep things in perspective, I think you'll probably find that well over 95% of Hyndburn residents are more worried about clean streets and nice parks than our stance on Kashmir and don't give a toss whether it came to Council or not. This didn't make the national papers whereas my attempts to lead the way on tackling dog fouling have, work out which is really having the bigger impact.
To correct you, I am a Hyndburn Councillor and a representative of everyone in Rishton. Whether your or anyone else votes for me I'm afraid I still represent you. I get people venting spleen at me every day on topics which they consider to be the most important concern in their life. In comparison to some of the messages I get, you aren't even trying.
Sometimes you just have to step back and see the bigger picture then work out what is really worth pursuing.
