Indeed. There are many on here who suggest to me that if they had information from me they would progress the matter forward and the rest. However, what have they done in a matter in which the information is in the public domain? Very little.

Have they put pressure on Britcliffe to make the enquiry more transparent and balanced? Have they written to the Leader of the Council suggesting the same?

It is easy to criticise others, and claim that there is insufficient information to act. I have already made my view clear that Mr Dad ought not to be on the Community and Wellbeing Committee if his recent stance is a reflection of his view of community safety.

So come on fence sitters, let's have some action. No point requesting more information if you don't have the tenacity to act on that which is already available.

I personaly do not care who 'gondola' is those opinions will stay with me, I have asked this thread more than once, are any heads, or should any heads, roll for the monumental blunder made by the taxi licensing committee, thus far I have not had a sensible answer to the question. Any fool can sit on the sidelines and play the 'Japaneese' sniper, and be applauded by their followers, this is not as some say a boring thread as some members think, to yours truly it is an important issue that needs sensible discussion, anyone who makes light of it should open a thread in 'Anything Goes' and take their infantile opinions to the same.

I do not intend to waste valuable time stating the exact post number, That is why this political thread was raised, without wanting to appear offenceive, do not try to baffle me with science.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change society. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

By the way, since AccyMel has failed to grasp the concept, this thread is an appropriate platform to discuss the matter raised by Ianto. This is because it is directly linked to the decisions made by Councillors. The decision was flawed, that is now apparent. It ought to have been apparent at the time.

Perhaps someone would care to direct me to a link or some such on how to create a new thread for purposes of setting up a separate discussion. Unless of course readers do not mind unrelated matters being discussed here.

Mell I take your point but after not getting a straight answer, one gets frustrated, in my opinion it is not a subject for light hearted consideration, as I know your heart is in the right place, apologies if I was abrupt with my reply, but the subject had only just been kicked of the thread you mentioned. regards Ian:D
