Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

If I choose to go into politics later on in life, and don't succeed because I have criticised the party that I feel closest too.. then.. so be it. (i assume this isnt in reference to the redflag joke ;))

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I really disagree.

On a forum where people have a choice, and can call themselves whatever they like, it's primarily what's said that is important, and not who said it.

Think about it logically. There are people posting under a pseudonym, and it's only a few people who actually know their real name, and the background they come from, which probably influences what they say. A small clique, who happen to know who's who, is just something that happens over time.

If someone joins Accy Web tomorrow, they aren't going to know who Jaysay really is, for example, and why should they?

Unless Accy Web decides to change the rules, and we all have to post under are birth names, then people should have the freedom to remain anonymous, if they so wish.

did you read those posh books?:D - jolly hockey sticks

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

I agree with Margaret and Katex, though that 'are' instead of 'our' Garinda posted, is a howler.

:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

as its a local forum i can see no wrong in folk having a ghost name, its up to individuals to decide whos credible who aint, however am unsure about people joining with "Political Motive" n for no other reason, i think they should have the balls to be upfront. just my personal view.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

If that's the case we should all use our real names, and underneath that there'd be a declaration stating if we'd ever been a member of a political party or organisation.

There's no need for that, in my opinion.

If someone joins, and all they do is post about how good one political party is, and how appalling the opposition are, the majority of us will soon get bored with their blinkerd views, and be ready to give them a virtual pasting.

:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

My point entirely cashy, I have no problem people coming on here and joining in using a screen name, but when its apparent from the start they have a political agenda, why note be up front about it, after all Cllr Jones and Pritchard use their own names,and its no secret that claytonender is a Labour Councillor, but to enroll and then come across a member of the GP when in fact your a Labour Councillor, sorry that's not on.

He, or she, hasn't broken any forum rules.

Odd you seem to know exactly who it is, or think you do.

I haven't the foggiest, nor do I care.

I'll soon get annoyed with them if all they do is bang on from one political viewpoint...just as I do when anyone else does the same thing, using a real, or made up name.;)

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

For what its worth, I thought this idea for calendars and Xmas Cards is a waste of time right from the start, I'll just ask a question how many people on Acc Wed actually have one of these calendars hanging on their wall or again the Xmas card pined on a notice board, I would actually think not many, especially hen you can get a fist class calendar from FORP:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Like I said, other than a cursory glance, the calendar went straight into the recycling sack.

I suspect after Christmas many of the cards suffered a similar fate, the only diffence being that the cards didn't cost the people of Hyndburn a penny, unlike the calendars.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

i know who.:D:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Bizarrely, the reception desk/security point at Calderstones has one hanging up. I'm doing some work over there and when I call in the office to sign in I'm treated to Cllr Britcliffe's smiling face looking down at me from the reception wall.

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

ya sure he's not calderstones most famous patient?:D

Re: Britcliffe monthly.
 

Has anyone ever thought that it might be a good idea if national party politics were kept out of local government .... that councillors should represent their Wards and not their pary interests?
