Just as we all are.

In a way I don't think this forum is so very different from any other form of media, used as a tool for communication. Speaking to the press, or writing a newspaper column say, which people can also respond to, if they want.

When Graham Jones was leader of a local political party he took a fairly active role in the life of Accyweb, and it didn't seem to do his reputation much harm, seeing as he went on to become our M.P. Indeed, showing that he is human, like the rest of us, might have added to his appeal with the electorate.

Perhaps you should be encouraging TheLeadersOfficeHBC to play the Accy Web quiz, or share his favourite hits on the AW juke box, rather than thinking he was 'stupid' for posting on here at all.

;)
To be fair I don't think he used accyweb to play the quiz or air his favorite musical hits, but I would think that the people who use AW on a regular basis like you and myself are only around 50 who actually live within the boarders of the borough, of which most are already aligned politically, so I can see that it makes a terrible lot of difference really, I just wish some of the Tory Councillors who Are members would take a more active part in the site, certainly would help stop me getting all the flack even when sometimes I agree with some criticisms being made:rolleyes:

Obviously the Conservative prospective parliamentary candidates thought AW could make a 'difference', as quite a few joined up as members on here.

I remember Graham talking of his love of The Clash on Accy Web, and I don't mean his relationship with his opposite number on the Tory benches.

;)

I would welcome any regular posts from elected Conservative members. As I have said so often before, it would add balance to discussions.

Regrettably, we seemingly have several councillors who are well aware of the messages posted on this forum and are prepared to publicly deride them yet take no active role in responding in the same media. The only Conservative councillor who appears to post with any degree of regularity is Nick Whittaker of Huncoat.

Mind you, with trained lawyers watching every word that is printed it might be that some councillors are reluctant to say anything in case it could be construed as libellous. However, not everyone in the world is secretly reading posts and waiting to see if they get offended by political statements so they can take legal action, plus the Conservatives have admirable support from the likes of Jaysay.

I fail to see how councillors interacting with their electorate is a bad thing, in fact if anything it would seem that the public view the lack of participation as being worse.

It's true.

I don't think you are viewed as the Tory apologist on here anymore.

I see you more as the starter of 'vile and vicious attacks' against our Council Leader.

Which is more than a little ironic, given your past statements in the letter columns of the local press.

:D

John Moss, and Karen Buckley both made numerous posts on here, prior to the selection interviews.

Worn?
I'm suprised it's still in one piece!

No, hang on, thinking about it, it should be like new, when you fire off a round it's usually your foot you hit.

Mind you, many local Tories didn't seem that supportive, or posted much encouragement in the hope of making a difference, after poor Karen had been chosen as the Conservative candidate here in Hyndburn.

:rolleyes:
