I would always have guessed you to be a Tory Rindy. Maybe those years rubbing shoulders (or whatever) at public school made you want a bit of rough ;)

I worked for a living, therefore I was working class.

Now I'm part of the underclass.;)

In the line of my work I rubbed more than shoulders with a lot of Tories, I've even written before how I was invited to a private dinner with Thatcher, the more I saw the less I liked, and I stand by my earlier statement that the people with real power in the Tory party sneeringly look down at the blind party faithful of working class Tories.

No, I went by choice, plus I would have been too expensive if I'd have charged for my company.:D

I've posted this link before, quite a while ago. As politics has raised its ugly head again follow the link and take the test. As I said previously some of you may be surprised.

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.36

Heavily weighted, and very telling that it didn't give an option for rather agree nor disagree.

Awwww. Someone's upset at the results. Shame. Better luck next time eh.

No like I said earlier I'm a democrat. He won.

We'll see if he has the gall to stand as member of parliament for Hyndburn shall we? Third time luck, you never know.:D

I have to agree with all Graham Jones remarks about what the people of Hyndburn can now expect. We lost 2 good hard working councillors in Claire Hamilton and Tim O'Kane, and I am sure neither of their replacements will do anything to benefit their constituents. As a resident of Clayton I can not believe that they have elected someone who was arrested for singing racialist songs, do they not realise that an Independent can promise you the earth but will never be able to deliver because he will not be able to get a seconder for his propostions. I shames me that my fellow citizens can elect someone whose ideas are akin to the BNP.
When will Peter Britcliffe and Co stop comtemplating their navels and acknowlege that Hyndburn is a mess. Our Council Tax will increase again and services will disappear, now that the Housing and Works departments are no longer part of HBC, and witht the loss of the Highways functions - which have gone back to LCC, the question has to be asked if we are now viable as an authority.
