You really are a prince amongst men.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

How dare you talk to me like that??? The facts are there for anybody to see, the majority of people who voted in our poll were from the area and the majority voted against any money being spent from THEIR taxes not YOURS!!!!! IE the council taxes paid by Hyndburn residents to the council ( not the top up from the goverment, which in your boroughs case suspect will be far more than Hyndburns allocation);)

Why don't you just stick to the washing and ironing, and leave the politics to the lads?

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

You really are an arrogant piece but I expected a better response than that from a MAN like you. Well never mind life is full of disappointments:)

You're not going to get my mobile number with remarks like that.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

I have resisted posting in this thread up until now. But I feel that this is an inappropriate use of Council Tax Payer's money. Especially so, when the government has reduced its grants to Hyndburn by an extremely hefty amount of money.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Oh Dear I'm so upset (not)

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

I am sorry but that is how the Council works. If your expecting a letter every time a decision is to be made it will never happen no matter who is in power.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Have a look at the no voters and try and decide how many are not politically biased or do not pay council tax to HBC.

This is not a private poll.
I think some people do not vote because they don't want ridiculing for not agreeing with some vocal members as has happened in this case.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Thank you, Councillor. You have just proved my point. Despite the large reduction in central grant, HBC is still receiving a substancial amount of dosh from Whitehall and as such some of that money should be put to good use in celebrating something like the Royal Wedding.

Just what would the rest of the country think of the town if it was to blatantly turn it's face to our Wills & Kate? Not much, I think; out the door would go any external investment, jobs down the pan, long dole queues - the constant spiral of economic and social decline. And all because of a few idiots who when they are not wearing their burka for bed are busy preaching republican clap-trap on here.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

i doubt very much if political bias has owt to do wi it Neil, its voters from all 3 parties n just common sense.:rolleyes:

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

What is Hyndburn's Labour Party policy on publicly funded events such as this?

Last year there were 2 HBC funded events in parks in Hyndburn that I remember and a few other events I cant remember ( its late sorry ).
Would Labour still fund such events or will they be a thing of the past if Labour are in control in May

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

We have.

As has been pointed out, the overwhelming no vote covers the whole range of the political spectrum. From the Tory faithful to the reds under the bed, and the many moderates in between, all say a resounding NO.

The actual number of non-Hyndburn residents who voted no, has also been given in this thread.

I'm suprised you didn't see it.

The number of Hyndburn residents who voted yes remains at three.

You, and two others.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

whats the royal wedding to do wi other events?:confused: this wedding aint local fer starters.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

When was the last time Hyndburn spent council taxes on royal weddings.. when I was up there the pubs were opened all day and that was it... some streets did put a bit of a do on but I doubt it was paid for by the council.
