You must be thanking your lucky stars for the likes of acrylic bob and garinda, Councillor M.

In the week you have had to impose probably the most savage cuts in the history of HBC (£2.1million cuts in a budget of £12 million?), when every citizen of the borough had the opportunity to come to the scrutiny committee and have their say on the budget, what did you get?

By all accounts, not a single member of the public attending the scrutiny committee, and instead all you've had to deal with was a thoroughly nasty narrow minded debate on this website about an issue that everyone agrees has little impact on the day to day life of the average Hyndburn resident.

From an HBC point of view, the Kashmir thing was a diversion, nothing more. If it gave a few cheap headlines in the Punjabi Times, then so what? Todays papers are tomorrows chip paper.
