Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

Me too Cashy .. I am a bit of a floating voter, and although I didn't vote for him at the last election ... think I may have voted for him at the next, due to past form. If the (ahem) one that is being suggested as a Conservative candidate ... will definitely vote for Greg. :D

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

There are people on here that think I'm a bit hypocritical, but I have always held Greg with great esteem, we could never agree politically but as a man and a local MP he has been good for Hyndburn. On the occasions I have met Greg we have got on very well, he's a thoroughly decent bloke and I can only wish him all the best in whatever he does in the future

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

I feel quite bad now. The other day was the only time that I have ever publicly criticised Greg and I've found out since that he had paid back the money that he had been accused by the papers of spending out of the public purse.

I like Greg a lot, I think he's been good for the area. I suspect that Labour will probably lose next time unless they put up an extra special candidate - mmmm, where did I put my Labour Party membership form?

You have a very low opinion of our Gayle, Neil, she'd never stoop so low:D

You wouldn't do very well in the 'how well do you know me quiz' - when have you ever seen me with a handbag or shoes? - I have a carrier bag and wear trainers. Although actually, having said that, i could probably do with a handbag and some new shoes, so yep, good point. :D:D:D

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

Seeing as I am a little confused by you, which party will you be standing for :confused:

And don't think I will let you get out of FoRP, our constitution only fobids Councillors from being members, not MP's :p:D:D

can ken hargreaves not make a come back or is he to honest to get involved ?

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

I have had verly little dealings with him; all I can say that I got no help at all with a death threat I was sent and a charity refusing to reply to emails.

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

Are death threats not a Police issue and not something to take to an MP

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
 

He's both to honest and to old to make a comeback Ray, mores the pity

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.

Re: Greg Pope to stand down at next election.
