You would have thought so Cashman;given that the Papers being interested would only widen the circle of potential voters he was trying to reach....maybe there's something else here that we aren't privy too.

Re: Tough Policing
 

On the subject that Ccllr Jones was talking about before his change of heart;on the spot penalties for offenders;a security guard in the Town Centre yesterday caught a well known shop lifter in action.He retreived the stolen goods and waited for the Police to arrive from Blackburn[!].The shoplifter was given an on the spot £80 fine;which she paid immediately and was back out on Broadway again in less than 10 mins! How on earth is that a deterrent???

Re: Tough Policing
 

it isn't a deterant just means she will have to put some OVERTIME in retailers beware.lol

Re: Tough Policing
 

Exactly,and had no difficulty in handing over the £80 there and then;obviously had a profitable morning helping herself in Accrington's stores.:mad:

1) There are a lot of people with racist tendancies on here in my view.

2) I have been away and then when I cam back the General Election took over.

3) I wrote the piece in 'pub talk' and it was to be edited as the press are after the full story [thanks to someone with no respect on this site] and thats where things get get distorted if your not careful. Just not had time to edit it.

4) I think the loony left posting was a disgrace. The Lib Dems have even posted a membership form through my letterbox.

5) Labour won the GE/Labour needs to 'revaluate' the result Tony!

6) Labour held off the Tories at County Hall with a margin of 5 [from 8] and in Hyndburn there was a Labour landslide. Labour increasing majorties in 4 of the 6 seats, winning all 6, PB got stuffed alongside his predictions in Ossy.

7) Just to cheer up 'all our yesterdays crowd', Cabinet are to give the Panopticon project the green light next week as outlined in a two page report.

8) 'The Voice of Reason'... well the BNP got 4% in Hyndburn. UKIP lost their deposit and racists were kicked into touch.

Off to the pub ...

Re: Tough Policing
 

Welcome back, Graham. No wonder they did`nt want the panopticon discussed during the election. If it goes through, I`ll be up the Coppice with my shovel. Direct action being the only way, Yesterdays crowd indeed!!

Re: Tough Policing
 

There you have it we're yesterdays crowd with racist tendancies, stop making excuses for your disappearence Graham I spoke to the canvassers who included your fellow councillors so if you're here to stay this time please continue telling it as you see it, there's not another general election for at least 4 years, I for one don't like b******t.

Its easier to say what you think than say what you think people want you to say.

1/ You are absolutely correct it is your view.

2/ Yes, you're back I hope you're not going to use the General Election as an excuse for the next four or five years.

3/ I've looked for this piece, forgive me, I can find no reference to it, is it on Accyweb in the 'Obbo', in the Telegraph, (don't expect respect on this site we want you to prove that you can earn respect).

4/ Any looney left posting is a disgrace, have you ever read what they are trying to say? Just shows how desperate the Lib Dems were for members until twenty four hours ago I don't think they will want you now.

7/ What pray tell is wrong with 'Yesterdays crowd'? we (or at least some of us) are going to celebrate V.E. day if it wasn't for 'Yesterdays crowd' making their sacrifices would you be in any position to crow about anything today?

Yes the racists were told we aren't interested but if instead of thinking you managed this on your own you where to run a poll on Accyweb you would find that the majority on here are happy with that situation!

Off to the pub

If it helps, I also go off to the pub when I find myself in a situation I can't cope with, but I'm a mere mortal NOT some-one that others hope they can trust their future with.

Re: Tough Policing
 

I am sorry you have misunderstood what is happening here.

The bulk of the evaluation in the report and conclusion comes from work I and local residents have done over 12 months to find out what is best. We were neither for nor against in the beginning. For an opposition councillor it has been a lot of hard work.

There is nothing clever or sad about working hard, getting residents involved, letting them determine what they want and working for them. What isn't clever but however is sad is undermining people who are working hard and making the effort without yourself getting to know them, what they are doing, how they are doing it and most of all, respecting that effort. Your point was labour councillors should not be making smug arrogant swipes, I don't see it that way.

Having heard much criticism of the project by members, I am questioning the basis of that criticism, it wasn't personal, just critical. My point was nothing more than a humourous, ironic summary of one line of thinking. The type of political humour you would find in a political cartoon or satire.
