Thus the issue is germane to this thread.

There was a lot of honesty about the Government's position now

Brilliant! Funniest thing I've heard for a long time.

Graham, do you really think the likes of Harriet Harman and John Reid are genuinely interested Hyndburn? Are you just very gullible or are you attempting to pull the wool over the electorate's eyes?

I think it is sad you're so cynical but I must say you do so with such vibrant blue and undisguised rinse.

John Reid was candid. That was my view. I didn't see you there but just in case I missed you hiding in the cupboard, could you tell me which words of Dr Reid's you disagreed with in 50 Abbey Street?

I don't know about anyone else but thanks to this, 'I will reveal all the dirty goings on to do with our Councillors thread', which has been going on for over a fortnight, there is not a paper shredder to be purchased anywhere within the Hyndburn boundary, why?

The reason why is quite obvious, everyone from the top to the bottom at the council be they guilty of multi-million pound frauds or whether they just 'borrowed' a biro has been working deep into the night making sure that if the spit hits the fan there will not be a paper trail leading back to them.

But on the good side of this, all this over-time will have been voluntary, so gondola has managed to get rid of a very large paper mountain without a penny of it going on the Council Tax, for that reason if not for the fact that his almost 'witty remarks', have kept me entertained for all this time, i would like to nominate gondola as accywebs very own,

I'm sure the Socialist Worker's Party will be very pleased to have you on board.:D

Some good will come of this garinda, the very fact that we are discussing the subject, 'are Hyndburn Councillors fit for purpose',as Less stated shredding and sweeping will be going on at no expence to the public, but some things cannot be washed or papered over as they are beyond the control of the guilty parties, who have crossed one bridge to far.

But we seem to be going round in ever decreasing cirlces discussing it, without naming any guilty party.

Maybe someone can tell me which candidate for election on May 3 has had their nomination papers signed by another Councillor, who claims to be of an Independent persuasion.

Yes it is very frustrating claytonender, all I can suggest is that you make yourself known to gondola, and he may enlighten you, as you seem to be a reasonable chap.
