Also what is the point of putting a link to some expenses if you don't have the balls to name and shame the rogue in question?
Would you like me to do it for you?
The name of the naughty councillor is...
Daddy, (not my Daddy of course, but the Daddy of some innocent girl that you are choosing to bring into the limelight).

What is the use of the expenses list if you haven't. done or said anything wrong if you daren't name the person you accuse, still underhand & cowardly tactics you must surely admit?

But am I wrong in thinking this is perpetuating a situation which the mods chose to address? If I am wrong please, forgive me.
It gives nothing to the thread and continues the rancour.........making it much less likely that PB would come on here and get a fair hearing.

You didn't give us your interpretation on mainstream media.
Also the end tag to the above quote, 'truth hurts', whatever could you mean by that?

Read post 165..it says who I was talking about. I have not accused anyone of anything wrong, just questioned the ethics. Clearly, Less, you don't read my posts properly, or you would still not be asking me to name the person.

This could also be interpreted as an Open Invite to Mr Britcliffe to explain or deny claiming these expenses. That is a relevance to the thread title.

The use of the list is to show people like you that I wasn't saying anything wrong, and that our esteemed council leader, Mr Britcliife, claimed the expenses I indicated he had. I don't see how this is underhand, just supporting my claims, something a certain other poster couldn't do when they accused me of something on here that was libellous.

Do pray tell what was the point of the thread in the first place, Its quite obvious that it had exactly the opposite direction than what you intended.

Amazing how some things and attitudes changed once I had provided the supporting evidence. Shame it took so long to obtain the info from LCC, and even longer from Hyndburn as it still hasn't arrived.
To repeat, though, for the final time, I questioned the ethics, not the legality, behind the claim.

Yes, and to repeat, I questioned your ethics why did you post before you actually had proof? Surely had you waited you could have named & shamed, then you might have had AccyWeb members supporting you?
As it was, hopefully you have shown how rumour-mongers will be tolerated.
10/10 for persistence though, it's run so long even the obbo can't do a shock horror AccyWeb scoops another morally exposed politician.
