Flogging A Dead Horse
Campaigner in street protest against Hyndburn council (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Is this guy flogging a dead horse, or does he have information that the independent inquiries weren't given?

Time to put up or shut up.

“The council has been cleared of wrong-doing by the police, local government ombudsman and the audit committee.''

I'd suggest it was time to move on.

An error was made, but the three enquiries found it to be genuine mistake, and not a criminal act.

As for people 'clapping, and cheering', some townsfolk would do that if Ronald McDonald drove round Accy with a trailer.

I have made a complaint against my council and these people are basically biased against members of the public complaining. Police and Councils tend to stick together - so I say this bloke has got the guts to get off his backside and demonstrate - while most people shirk from it! He is a courageous person - even if he's wrong: too many people take **** from the Council's and roll over without any argument! Hats off to this man!

it's not about them proving it wrong Jaysay - these people are experts at ignoring evidence, twisting facts and whitewashing what really went on. Whistleblower ...
