His he a man or a mouse, if he can't stand up and justify what his government is doing in Westminster, then he's not fit to lead the Labour Group on the council. If he only comes on here and coment on selective issues that satisfy is own ends, then its best if he stays of political subjects altogether.

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

The challenge we face is differentiating between the political and non-political. Almost all of these threads have a political element of national or local significance, be that in the directly applicable abstract sense. Politics is by nature the discussion of how we operate as a community and as a country, what we value and what we consider important - politics exists because we disagree, and is enriched because we are allowed to. The thread on the death penalty, whilst not directly applicable in the UK has political consequences and people could be called to justify or clarify their views should they contribute to the debate.

This is neither a defence nor attack on Mr Jones - I am merely playing Devil's advocate.

The nature of local politics is sometimes seen as petty and petulant where members of all parties seize opportunities to score political points on their opponents. That is the way of politics and it is for people to decide as individuals how to judge their representatives - and the criteria for how they wish to do that.

No it does not. It simply has one side of the argument, what Peter Britcliffe said in response. I want to know what set him off.

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

that is irrelavant seeing as how britcliffe denies saying it, that makes him a liar in my book, when theres many witnesses that he did.:rolleyes:

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

He might well be lying if he has denied something that has happened, but I still want to know what provoked it.

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

well if he is,that means how can you believe anything he says?

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

You mean we're not 'excellent'? :D

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

must say i do find it very difficult to get me head round.:rolleyes:

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

Look, you've been missing my point for about five posts now. At this point I'm less interested in whether he's lied or not and more interested in what was said that triggered his response.

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

So, the Idiot-in-Chief tells lies. Well, I am surprised. Who would have thought it. Whatever next?

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

Graham Jones doing something useful, maybe:D

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

i get your point completely, what i am saying is it dont really matter.:rolleyes:whatever it was it does not justify that response from the Leader of the Council, unless YOU think it does?

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

or Greg Pope doing anything, perhaps ? ? ?

Cashman I think cyfr is trying to find out just what it was that the unfortunate councillor said that got PB so riled. I must admit I am more than a little intrigued myself to discover just how appalling, and/or true, was the thing she said. I think we should be shown a complete transcript so that we can judge for ourselves just how petty and small minded our "dear leader" actually is
