But plenty of time for issues way, way to the east of whitebirk though.

Don't knock it till you've tried it. Anyway, at your age the damage is hardly likely to be noticable.

A damaged ram I could cope with.

If they think I'm going to be some sort of Trojan horse, they've another thing coming.

No way.

Re: General Election?
 

Do you not have a seat then?

Re: General Election?
 

I don't know.

I'm that much of a secret weapon, that it's being kept secret from me too.

Re: General Election?
 

I see, they've got you under wraps then have they? Greased up, stripped down and raring to go.

Re: General Election?
 

Yes, the secret's up.

If the noise from the rucksack they've strapped to me, stops tickin'...RUN!

Re: General Election?
 

We'll see, although I doubt it, there's more than enough to talk about in Hyndburn.

What original gems will be on this year's Conservative leaflets? Car parking charges (that's been a good one since 1999), death taxes, money given to Asians, allotment rent increases (anywhere between 200% and 700% depending on who is speaking), not forgetting the 'will put up council tax' routine.

The occasional policy would be nice to hear.

Re: General Election?
 

You can't even get your spiteful criticism right the car park charges have been on the agenda since 1995 not 99:D and I still stick by my original statement

Yesterday the fragrant Ken attempted to encourage the non-voters by implying that Local politics was interesting and exciting. Judging from his post of 7:45 this morning, as far as I can see it is more of the same old twaddle I have been hearing from both sides since I was old enough to have an opinion. Every time an election is in the offing we are treated to the same tired old garbage. The other side will make it more expensive, they will put up the rates, they have no policies we are the best thing since sliced bread etc.etc. on and on.


For crying out loud, Ken, give it a rest and change the bluddy record.


It is hardly surprising that 30% of the electorate don't vote. Indeed the only surpise is that the figure isn't higher. Tit-for-tat arguments are meant for the playground and political d*ck waving is not an acceptable substitute for mature, reasoned debate.
Have you learned nothing from the Britcliffe era?

And before you start whining on about vitriol and ridicule, you might profitably reflect on what it is about your performance and the performance of your colleagues that might give rise to such a response; though you will forgive me if I don't hold my breath while we wait.

Re: General Election?
 

Yes, just where does Hyndburn Borough Council stand on the Kashmir question?

These are the real burning issues, local people are just crying out to be answered.

Re: General Election?
 

It's nice to see you two have kissed and made up, launching a join salvo on the people formally identified as the villains of the piece, namely HBC. Perhaps now you could take time out to read what people post in response to your questions.

Gary, I have already given my stance on that. For further info, please see Cllr Allah Dad, it was his motion.

Bob, read what I wrote again and scale down your righteous indignation by several million degrees.

Red sky at night, Bob's house on fire at the other end of Rishton.....see how his anger burns!

Re: General Election?
 

Sorry Jay, my mistake!

Left out 'hitting the most vulnerable in society' as well.

It's a wonder I can show my face some days....

Re: General Election?
 

Oh I wasn't expecting a reply.

I was told you'd been warned not to.

I was just musing.

Pondering.

Shooting the breeze.

It's something us ordinary members happily do on here.

Now Accy Web is virtually a politico free zone.

Thanks, though.

Re: General Election?
 

Did you use the right tense?

Shouldn't that be plural?
