Conversely it could be said there aren't that many posts, i.e. none, by Conservative councillors...now they aren't in power.

They remain tight lipped, whether they're in, or whether they're out, and make Helen Keller look like a chatterbox.

Just a minute, whilst I take off my Right-Wing Bigot badge.

It does get very confusing. Whether I'm supposed to be pro-Labour, or pro-Conservative.

I suppose it depends on which party's policies I'm ridiculing at the time, and therefore which blindly faithful supporters happen to feel aggrieved.

:rolleyes:

On this issue, not knowing much, besides what was printed in the Observer, it seems a bit of a non-story.

Apparently Hyndburn has historically had the lowest cremation/interment costs in the county. Which are to be increased because of the cuts that need to be made, and this will bring us in line with the rest of Lancashire.

Sounds like an inevitable course of action.

So you can hop back in your budgie cage Little Blue, because I'd have said exactly the same thing, whoever happened to be in control of H.B.C. at the time this happened.

Nevertheless if it had been the Tories doing it no doubt there would have been a dash on here to ram it down Britcliffes throat, sadly we now seemed to have lost the political antagonists, mind you I don't take any satisfaction from saying I told you so:rolleyes:

Quite agree.

Seems like some are a little delusional.

Or perhaps they're just trying to keep the name of their beloved Britcliffe alive, now he's no longer in power.
