Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
The ex Mayor is not the only local tory who makes promises then doesn't honour them
See thread http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ide-38079.html PB is just as bad |

Jumble sales and raffles are fine but there would not be a free event in Rhyddings Park on Sunday if we had used the jumble sale and raffle method of raising the money. It looks to me like he was just trying to move with the times. Time will soon tell if it worked or not. |

He does seem to attract unwanted publicity, which probably won't help his chances of being selected as the Conservative candidate at the next General Election...though personally I hope he does make it on to the ballot paper. |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
I think Doug Hayes should be hanging his head in shame. He has made himself look like a silly little jealous boy. Obviously Doug thinks its all about who raised the most and who worked the hardest.
He should be supporting his fellow party member not sticking a knife in his back. I see nothing wrong with new methods of raising money. This may or may not have been a good new way, I don't know enough about the ins and outs of it. |

Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
Lots of fingers in pies our Dobbo, my personal opinion is that it stinks,I can't say a lot more because I am brave/daft enough to have my name as my identity on here but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

Why are some ex mayors writing to the paper whinging that they raised their money via tombolas, raffles etc? :confused: So Tony Dobson hasn't done a raffle, he's done something else. He's still raised money, hasn't he? What's the beef? :confused: |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
If, as Graham Jones says, the councils audit and investigations have been called in to look at it, then it's not all straight forward and hunky dory is it? :eek:
|
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
Quote:
The fact that they are investigating does not necessarily mean that there have been any dodgy goings on. It sounds to me like several ex mayors have got the hump, one/some have complained so the situation is having to be looked at to ascertain exactly how the figure was reached. |

Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
According to today's Accy Observer the website poll WAS rigged !
317 votes came from the same computer,,,, With the block votes removed 65% said they didn't approve of Tony Dobson's method of fund raising. The Observer states " there is no suggestion that Councillor Dobson was involved in the vote rigging or knew anything about it". So, over to the Tories to explain that one, would be interesting to know the IP address of the computer eh?:rolleyes: |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
LOL at the Observer having such a poor sytem that allowed it to happen.
Kate was right when she said the poll changed fast one morning. I wonder why it took them so long to smell a rat? |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
I would love to know the identity of the "rat" , major underhand tactics there....:eek:
|
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
You are assuming it was a Tory, maybe it was a Labour supporter who then admitted it to try and cause trouble. :D
|
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
No twisted thinking from me Neil , maybe I am too honest !
I can't understand why, if someone wanted to fudge the poll , they would be daft enough to do it from the same pc, it's not rocket science surely? So it smacks of a very blinkered person, obsessed by the Dobbo is right ethos. I would imagine the Observer could follow it up, after all, they will have the miscreants IP address eh?:rolleyes: |

As for following it up to find the deviant I doubt that the ISP in question would be forced by law to give out details for such a serious crime :D. Even publishing the IP would probably be a breach of data protection laws. |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
Thank goodness it wasn't anything important.
At first I thought they were suggesting the Bonny Baby competition had been rigged. |
Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.

OMG I never thought of that. I still can't believe that the vote could be rigged. What a naff system that counted all those votes from the same PC. |

Once you've voted in their poll, the option then disappears. Obviously a way round that, but it's beyond me.:confused: |

Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
Didn't vote on it myself, 'cause still not sure exactly what we were voting on !
See that Cllr. Dobson stated to the Observer, that he didn't even know they ran a poll (well, have to sorta' believe him I suppose). Bet you know Jaysay. Then he throws his toys out of his pram by stating: "I am getting a bit fed up of all this now. All I was doing was trying something a little bit different and I get all this aggro". sob, sob. You will sir, if you are not willing to explain to us common folk exactly how you did it !! Then we can judge. |

Dont see the problem to be honest. Charities have benefited in the long run.

We still do not know how they benifited and where the 10% came from !.. if was from the £ 10,000 .. that would be roughly £8,000 paid out from this and the other charities would have lost out ! (Although Cllr. Dobson has stated in reply to a letter 1,000's left in the pot for other charities.. look forward to the audit). Just wanted to know how it was worked that is all !! May have even voted a Yes on the poll if it had been explained. |

bogus letters rigging of opinion polls. Both supporting Conservatives. Using tax payers money they spend hours upstairs on those computers churning out press release after press release. I wish they would give more time to the finances. |

Clive [fisher] was very nice. He worked hard and showed that conservatives do care. He said I had done a lot and residents had commented. His sister was nice. I offered him a place on any community groups and encouraged him to stay on. A certain Tory oft mentioned in this thread had led him to believe he could win and he felt a little let down. Not sure but I think there may have been less than 3 proxy votes in Peel. Posted via Mobile Device |
