He then says how he is supporting his fellow councillors in the Ribble Valley who also don't want it. They comment at the end of the article that this is not the case.

Straws and clutching at, springs to mind.

Poor Peter what a bad memory. Maybe if he was a member we could keep him on the straight and narrow.

What a surprise that our letters castigating PB didn't get into print...but those of PB's cronies did....It makes you wonder if our local paper operates some form of political bias.

No political bias they just dont believe there are other parties.

It was considered but PB had challlanged those who objected to not take it. At then end of the year the allowances taken are published and I would not want someone who did not realise I had donated part of mine, getting the wrong impression. Its in black and white; 'I didn't taken em!'

Just received a flyer from my local Councillor, Mr Britcliffe.

It doesn't really say very much. Infact it's a bit like one of those menus you see in Spain, were you point to a photograph of egg and chips.

The two centre pages just has pictures inside, including a CCTV camera, a dog doing a poo, and a flying saucer on what I presume is supposed to be the Coppice.

Now which coloured sack do I put waste paper in?

My daughter was at the back of her door straightening her doormat when someone pushed one of these flyers through the letterbox....she immediately thrust the thing back, whereupon the guy knocked on her door and was about to put it into her hand....she said she didn't want his rubbish shoved through her letterbox, and that if he didn't want it he should dispose of it in a litter bin. He said 'I take it you won't be voting conservative then'...she said 'What do you think?'

Collect them all and then post them to the council and see if they like their mail box full of rubbish.
