Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

Quite a disappointing afternoon, in more ways than one! No sign of Kazzer in the pub (unless she was quaffing light ales and prawn cocktail flavoured crisps with the Rochdale fans at the other side). Still, she's probably still back in Lytham, wrapping her ornaments in newspaper. There's so much to do when you're flitting to a new town! Easter Monday afternoon perhaps, Kaz? :)

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

is there not a match "Good Friday"? perhaps that would be more apt.:D

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

It would be, but it's definitely Easter Monday. You'll be able to tell her some of your stories about getting chucked out of pubs around town. Should be quite an eye-opener for her! :D

Give a girl a chance.

You jolly well know it's still the hockey season too.

She has been to Stanley.

Just not when they were playing.

There's a photograph in her gallery to prove it.

'Go Stanlington! Rah, rah, rah!'

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

For goodness sake give her a break, sorry but reading the comments on this thread would put the bravest person off IMHO. Give her a chance the lot of you, in fact in reflection I wonder if an outsider might not be the best choice for both sides. Ok Graham might be a great ward councillor as is Peter in his ward(or neither of them would still be elected councillors for their area) but maybe we need somebody who is looking at the whole of the borough with no prejudice for any given area. Just my thoughts:)

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

I think that's one of the issues. No one knows who Ms Buckley is.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

If you deem yourself to be someone fit to take public office, then you choose to put yourself in the public arena.

Head above the parapet.

No one is marched to candidate selection meetings with a gun to their back.

There's been nothing libellous posted.

I hope they've (eventually) chosen someone able to fight her own battles.

She seems fairly forthright when giving her views, and opinions.

If she is successful in Hyndburn, and goes on to hold high office, should she be wrapped up in cotton wool?

I don't think the political satire television programmes, and magazine publications, hold much back when it comes to dishing it out.

As stated earlier, if she does post, if I was her, my first words would be one of thanks, for helping to raise the profile for a relatively unknown outsider.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

As her agent, I'm trying my best.

:D

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

So because you don't know them personally says they are not right for the job? As far as I can see under our last couple of MP's Hyndburn has hardly flourished or do you disagree? All or nearly all our major employers have left the area and there doesn't seem to be any great efforts to attract new business to the area. Maybe, just maybe we need an outsiders input into how to attract new employers. After all the present lot don't seem to be to bothered!!!!

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

...and again, this might seem concentrated interest in one candidate, but the others we've had time to get to know for months and months.

I began my assasination of Kev the Rev, and his vile meanderings, last Autumn.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

Starting with both legs?:D

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

****** off you:p And now I will bow out of this thread (well for the time being) but just for the record I think she is getting a hard time from our members:(

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

She might be just the person for the job.

Time will tell.

For someone who only joined a political party after hearing Cameon speak about 'the family', in 2007, and a background as a solicitor, specialising in family law, the omens don't look too great that she'll have the experience or contacts, to rebuild heavy industry in the area.

Time will tell.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
 

The same could be said of every one of our members, who choose to enter politics, and feel they have what it takes, to influence the lives of others.

[qoute] Garinda. the omens don't look too great that she'll have the experience or contacts, to rebuild heavy industry in the area.[/quote] No I doubt very much that we will ever rebuild such great industry in the area but maybe with an outsiders perspective it would never have been lost. Unfortunately it has gone and seeing as our local elected representatives failed to save what industry we had left and as far as I can see failed to attract new business an outsider may not be such a bad choice.
