I can't speak for them and wouldn't presume to, it was merely an indicator of how the situation itself could be a hot potato for some and not of my fellow councillors' attitudes.

Again, I am not speaking in any way for Bernard and Joan, just pointing out that racial/religious issues can be viewed in the worst possible light even when the intentions are good.

As for me, ask me whatever you like. My derriere is primed.....

As I say, you're doing a terrible job.

Besides never having read such politically correct, meaningless guff, in all my life, contained in your 'Community Cohesion Guide 2008- 201'.

Roll on 2012!

There's more than the just the two councillors you named, who are members of this forum.

None of them are prepared to speak out, and condemn the disrespect caused by the poppy burning.

It's just occurred to me, I hope they aren't staying silent because they think there might be local support for the poppy burners.

Then we really would be in trouble.

Seems a poor do to me when a Labour MP of Asian origin, perhaps even a Muslim, can condemn in the most uncompromising terms, as I posted in an earlier thread, but local Labour councillors don't have the bottle to speak out.

Anyway, Ken, you just keep on sharing your views with us...until the men from Transport House come round to "have a word"! ;)

Re: Comment Please

Re: Comment Please
 

Surely that should be on the way out:D

Re: Comment Please
 

If Labour gain control Wyn you will notice a drying up of opinions on here, believe me;)

Re: Comment Please
 

Being a former political agent for a certain someone, you must be used to coming a close second.

Re: Comment Please
 

Meaning the Conservatives would be more vocal in opposition?

Oh goodie.

:rolleyes:

Re: Comment Please
 

I haven't commented before because I agree with most of what' s been said. I'm just a bit disappointed that because someone hasn't commented they are presumed by some to have a different opinion.

Can i also say that on Remembrance Day in the morning i was in Oak Hill Park laying a wreath in the morning. In the afternoon I was in Ossy for the Remembarence day parade.Last Thursday I was outside the town hall for Remembrance Day itself

I mention these, not to seek praise, but because I think it's right that we remember those that I've given their lives for this Country.And we should never forget that sacrifice.

You're a member of a major political party, albeit at a local level, so you're one of the few connections we've got with the world of mainstream politics. We're, therefore, interested in your opinion.

The intrigue is also heightened by the fact that the media, especially the leftwing media, have swept the matter under the carpet, presumably in the hope that it'll go away. Unfortunately, it won't and if moderate, reasonable politicians like yourself don't speak out about it, you're leaving the way wide open for rightwing extremists to vent their bile on the guilty and the innocent alike, simply because of their race. So, take a leaf out of Ken's book and let's be hearing from you!
