...and a belated congratulations from the rest of us too.
Even if it's a year late.

Though it looks even last year the Tories were appreciative of your success.

Oh goody.

Cllr. Pritchard's actually reading this thread, at this very minute.

We're bound to get the truth of the matter now.

As long as it's the right personality who's logged in.

[accyman]

wouldnt it be easier to send him to the mental ward where he can pretend to be mayor

im sure napoleon and jesus would appreciate the company

edit:

i thought it was agianst forum rules to have more than one account

ban the sod

all of him/them

cant even adhere to a simple rule on a local forum what chance is there elswhere

Yes, sort of makes a mockery of old Jaysay berating Bernard Dawson for chosing the username Robert Owen when he first joined, and as he was entitled to do, just as anyone else is.

The rather grand username 'hyndburn' doesn't exactly make it clear who's posting, especially when Cllr. Pritchard posts he 'knows' Cllr. Pritchard, and will 'phone' him.

In terms of grandness, that username can come second only to 'TheLeadersOfficeHBC', who also posted in the third person.

i now its funny but when you stop and think about it theres room for concern that people like this are in charge of a multi million pound budget

Well seems that was a correct assumption.

As someone who knows nowt about Accrington politics--If Councillor Britcliffe is so unpopular how come he keeps being re-elected?

He's elected in St. Andrews ward, and has been for over twenty years, because the majority of people in the ward think he does a good job.

He wasn't elected as the leader of the council by the people of Hyndburn, but by other Tory councillors. Although now we have in effect a hung council, so who'll become the leader is all down to one supposed independent councillor. Who has stated he'll side with the Tories, in exchange for his becoming the next mayor of the borough.

Cllr. Britcliffe's popularity, outside his Oswaldtwistle ward, remains open to debate. Though when he stood in the General Election, when the whole of Hyndburn could vote for him, he was rejected, twice.

I only comment on things which interest me, cancelling a meeting is not a phenomena, and doesn't warrant any serious thoughts from me, I'll leave that to those with little else to do
