It's easy to look after your ward when you control the money and it hasn't taken me 8 months to work that out.

You've been there 8 months, he's been there 28 years and maybe, just maybe he remembers when year after year Ossy got the mucky end of the stick, not for 8 months but year after year after year:rolleyes:

Well it aways does when Labour are on the good side but not when the Tories are in the same boat, and yes your quite right, a hell of a lot;)

To put it in perspective, in Rishton last year we got the highest turnout in the whole of Hyndburn with 68%, still leaving a considerable number who didn't make their voices heard.

Yes I would thought more would have turned out, with the amount of canversing that went on was remarkable (I live in Shaw, which falls within the Oldham East and Saddleworth constuancy), I received no shotage of leaflets and 'newspaper' type information. The fact that a Labour candidate(Debbie Abrahams) was elected was no suprise as labour is in the blood of many within these areas of Oldham.
