Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Just come across this re Cllr Dad.

Can anyone tell me what a "Video Grapher" is or does?

I note also that Questions 9 and 10 are information on application only....Hmmm?

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

I also note this from the Observer article of September 12, 2008 which reported on the electoral irregularity allegations...

Graham Jones; "I’ll chase the cheats into their political grave as residents deserve better."

More empty rhetoric from our MP which echoes the resounding silence from Westminster on the Kashmiri Motion incident.

Since the 15th of this month Mr Jones has spoken twice in Parliament on the subject of his favourite hobby horse The Private Rented Sector. Hardly overworked I would say.

They video things like weddings etc.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Don't know.

I did know a bloke in Tooting, who sold dodgy blueys as a sideline, from his ice cream van, and he claimed to be a videographer, when he was arrested.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Ahh yus, m'dear. i know what a Videographer does, I may not be very mechanically minded but I am not as green as I am cabbage-looking. But what precisely is a Video Grapher ?

Videographer is a compound word. Video Grapher is two seperate words.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Perhaps, as he apparently identifies himself primarily as Kashmiri, rather than just simple Lancashire folk, like most who live in Hyndburn, he doesn't recognise the commonly used term of videographer.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Well, I had a look in the Hyndburn Enterprise Trust's Directory and could find no reference to him or his Video Graphing.

Perhaps he misunderstood the instructions in the HBC Register of Member's Interests and listed his hobby rather than his occupation. Which sort of begs the question; What does he do for a living?

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

A quick flick through the HBC website reveals the following

Councillors Allowances: - A. Dad

2008-2009 £12,440.15
2009-2010 £12,369.00
2010-2011 £7,440.85

Hmmm, not exactly in the same league as the former Idiot-in-Chief ( £32k for 2010-2011). A surprise, that.

There was this for Munsif Dad, but there was no reply, when I asked who was getting the salary now.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

According to the Allowances lists, M. Dad claims even less than A. Dad. Even though M Dad is deputy leader of the Labour Group.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Who's the Daddy now?

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Two wrongs certainly don't make a right.

However, there are two sides to every story.

Unless you're a Hyndburn councillor, of course.

Then you vote to officially support the side, who are more likely to give you their votes.

Ahhh, The Religion of Peace, proving once more how easy it is to command respect. Doesn't it give you a lovely warm glow to know that we have so many of it's adherants living among us? It does me. Ohh, look, I think I'm begining to give off smoke, I'm so warm and glowing.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

Now that everything in our borough is simply peachy, and H.B.C. have the time to spare to use their considerable collective wisdom to play an active role on the international stage...

perhaps at the next full meeting of the council, on behalf of all the residents of Hyndburn who might identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or opponents of inhumane brutality...

they might vote for a resolution, which condemns the human rights abuses carried out in some countries of the world, against homosexuals....

such as in this example...

from Pakistan.

Re: Internationalist approach at H.B.C.
 

He's been seen to read this thread, but...as yet, there's still no comment from Cllr. Dawson.

The councillor who urges us all to think more like 'Internationalists', so we can better appreciate the benefits of E.U. membership.

Come on Bernard.

You must have an interest in this subject, seeing as you keep reading, what have you got to say?

How did you vote?
