Hello...this is news...I see Graham is expecting a fall in the Labour majority. What's he know that the rest of us don't (other than Labour Party private polls)?

Anyway, still no sign of Buckley on here....I wonder if her Tory 'mates' have decided to keep this website a secret from her?

Because of how Politicians have behaved over recent times, i was considering a no vote or a protest vote. That might have made a small point, or made me feel better for a while, but the two major objectives i have in voting now are really to get the best MP for Hyndburn, and to hopefully help stop Cameron getting anywhere near No 10....so i've decided now that Graham is getting my vote!


Best Regards - Taggy

Being able to sack your own MP would be an attractive proposal to some dimwits.. but how will voters be able to go about it?..would it be by petition?,local demonstrations or outright riots?.. does Cameron mean the local party members for the MP can sack him/her? lots of questions, but maybe the local Tories on here can explain. :)

Michael Howard for start was a disaster. Tony Blair could charm the birds out of the trees.

Then we have the last 5 years where we have had tough times.

On my family. My mothers side is made up of my grandads side family pure accringtonians, accy pals et al. He is who I admire so much and gave me good advice.

He married my gran from a Salford Tory family and my gran ran La Mode on abbey St. They lived on Tremellan St before moving to Baxenden near my great grandfather. My grandads dad was a livery driver at Accrington Station and got a council flat in Baxenden following slum clearance on grange St. A street where a lot of Pals came from. I had my tea there every tuesday after school on Ashworth street.

On my dads side my gran and grandad were poor from Mill Hill. They split in 47 and my gran lived in Whalley as a housemaid with two young sons and then Clayton le Moors for about 20 years. she had no sisters. I went there on Mondays after school. A lot of distant family that don't know me live in Blakburn still.

My grandad lived at Brownhill in the end though we never met until I turned up one day. He was crippled. It hurt him too much and he asked me not to return so I didn't. My Grans grandfather I vaguely remember in a Blackburn old folks home.

So to me my family is my mothers side who all lived here and my gran who lived down clayton. 4 generations who all lived in Baxenden.

Is that too much info?

It makes Karen 'Kazzer' Buckley's one mealy snap, taken outside Stanley's locked stadium, look a bit pathetic.
