I know. I asked the question to spotlight the deafening silence on this thread from the elected members who should be speaking on our behalf.

But if people keep the heat on, the politicians may run but they can't hide.

I wonder if I could borrow one of those sniper rifles from Retlaw or Eric?

'Two Central Ward Councillors including the portfolio holder for Community Cohesion and the Voluntary Sector strongly identify with Kashmiri heritage and have vocally supported the Kashmiri ethnic grouping at previous Community Cohesion & Equal Opportunity Working group meetings.'

'As part of a community consultation in 2005, a wide-cross section of Hyndburn’s ethnic minority communities (including Gt. Harwood) was asked by Cllr Allah Dad if they would support a separate Kashmiri identifier.'

'There was overwhelming support for this.'

What are you doing, Garinda, posting a link to a piece of toilet paper?

Some might consider it that.

Some might be wondering why a local council in north east Lancshire is wasting time on issues that aren't local to the borough, and allowing itself to be used by those with a vested interest, to add weight to their propaganda campaign, in a highly contentious international conflict.

So there is a clear history of discussion about this subject over the years.

It is the perfect opportunity for O and S Committee to review all the discussions and resolutions, and confirm whether or not it is appropriate for the Council to be going beyond simply recognising Kashmiri residents as a separate ethnic group, to taking the side of an alleged terrorist group in the conflict in Kashmir.

Seems perfectly straightforward to me.

Let's hope at some future date, certain councillors don't propose that areas where Hyndburn residents who 'identify themselves as Kashmiri', should primarily be subject to Sharia, rather than British law.

As, judging from H.B.C.'s previous desire to appease, there would probaby be...

'overwhelming support for this'.

Me too.

Then again, we aren't seeking election to public office.

Cllr. Dawson's reading this thread, at this very moment.

Perhaps he's just about to give us his view, and perhaps tell us if he voted to support, or not, the resolution passed by H.B.C. last week?

Nope. No comment...yet.

Bernard's now giving his attention to the assassination of J.F.K.

Perhaps he's afraid of shooting himself in the foot.

Was wondering Rindi if that flock of pigs passed over your rooftop on the way to grazing this morning, they've just passed over mine and were making a hell of a racket, a racket very similar to the noise some political members used to make before taking control of the council

jaysay · 20-11-2011, 08:51

Its just crossed my mind that those in control of HBC may have instructed their "members" to avoid confrontation on this website

Tealeaf · 20-11-2011, 08:51

Erics reading it, too.

Eric - can you dismantle that hunting rifle of yours, stick in in a box, label the box "Moose Antlers" (to allay any suspisions by Uk customs if they just happen to be on duty), and ship it over to me?

Oh, stick in a few boxes of ammo. 35 rounds should be sufficient.

No - make it 36 - there's one I forgot about.

It's not a case of confrontation, Jaysay; it's a case of them getting their arses spanked every time they have popped up on here.

At one point it looked like we were entering a new era of transparency, and openess.

We were given a full report of the last full meeting of the council...prior to the elections in May.
