That told me.

As you say John, I have a lot to learn.

Occasionally, something still filters through....

Cllr Britcliffe's policy is not to have a policy on this.

So what is it that Clare is proposing then?

Excuse me, am I being a little bit sensitive about accyweb or did you actually suggest this:-

That the Leader of OUR Council ban his members from giving their opinion on accyweb?

If you did, how dare you? accyweb does not belong to the people or any Political party, accyweb isn't for you to suggest who posts on here, accyweb is for all it's members to post whatever, on here, we, may not agree with any particular party, or even any part of many party's, that doesn't nor' should it stop them from posting their version of the truth.

If that is what you suggested, no wonder Cllr Britcliffe nearly:-

pulled a muscle laughing.

Now, in future Ken will you consider how a thread can be read?

I suspect you to be sincere, but shooting off at the mouth is for people like me, you should pick your words CAREFULLY, (You aren't as able to get away with it).

If all the council tried to at least pull in a similar direction things would get done but all that appears to happen on hear is pulling in oposite directions so nothing will ever get accomplished

A very singular outlook and not the basis for democracy which is based on cross examination.

I always find this perspective to be the feelings of the dominant group wishing to reel in any critique. It is anti-democratic and in my experience leads to back slapping decisions.

My dear Less, I think you've misunderstood. I asked if he was preventing his members from coming on here, not to stop them from coming on here!

I would welcome the views of the Conservatives to balance some of the arguments but none of them seem to be able to post on Accyweb without some sort of pseudonym.

Before Jaysay brings up 'Robert Owen' I'll do it myself, but it's a very tired joke now.

That we have a decent policy on taxi licencing and ensure that the residents of this borough have a few safeguards in place so that the drivers of Hyndburn cabs are fit to be in a car with members of the public.

Cllr Britcliffe's current 'policy' runs to about a side and a half of A4 and that's only because Clare wrote one side of it.

I'm absolutely serious.

The new policy that Clare has written herself is 16 pages long and may not be long enough, hence the motion that a politically balanced working group is set up to go through it with a fine-toothed comb.

If Britcliffe had the best interest of the borough at heart then this wouldn't even need to be put to council as a motion. Clare offered quite freely to work on this without getting political and Britcliffe make it so awkward that she had no choice but to put it to full council.

Everyone has the right to remain anonymous on here.

Though usually the forum sleuths will soon work out who is posting, if they are in public office.

An earlier posting by Tickler gave his surname.



I think it's good, to have some political balance on here.

Especially now One Man and His Dog has lost his little pooch, when it ran off to London to join the circus.

Though the rumour that Graham Jones is putting him up, is unfounded.
