It was still a very good post, though it hurts me to tell you.

I do find it difficult to guesstimate anything factual from figures that just seem to have been plucked from the air.
Is this all we can expect from now on? Or will our elected representatives actually realise that we and indeed the whole of Hyndburn may have been foolish enough to put them in charge but without a reasonable explanation for their actions, by heck i reckon we might just vote at the earliest opportunity to relieve them of this burdensome responsibility we seem to have placed on them.

For those few poor souls who aren't in Graham Jonse's mythical 95% 'who don't give a toss about Europe', regardless of what happens to Hyndburn as a constituency, as a result of the Boundary Commission's meddling, I have it on very good authority that there will be a UKIP candidate(s) standing in this area at the next General Election.

Which will offer the remaining 5% an alternative candidate to vote for. If they feel the mainstream political parties no longer represent their own views.

It will be interesting how the maths add up, come election day.

I know you won't believe me, but having met you both, if you two did ever meet, I know 100% you'd like old Teabag.

Trust me.

You know Accrington. The people are real to you, you have rubbed shoulders with them, joked with them, had a pint with them.

All I can say now is that I am very disappointed that you haven't lived up to expectations...not just mine, but those who you were elected to represent.
Maybe it is our fault...we expected too much.

Blessed is he who expects nothing - he will never know disappointment.

Margaret, new politicians going into parliament can be likened to banana's going into storage.
They go in Green, turn Yellow, and come out Bent.

Trust me.

And this may be hard to believe ... although Tealeaf has got on my nerves occasionally ... if I ever decide to make the last trip over, he is def. on my list of folks I'd like to have a beer with. I'll even buy the first round

Without wanting to thread wander too much...he used to wind me in like a kipper on here, until I realised what he was doing, and denied him that pleasure.

He was nothing like I expected when I did meet him. Probably more so, than any other Accy Webber I've met.

He's actually a very, very nice person.

Don't waste your breath .... you know how bullheaded women are

There ... a big wall and the North Atlantic should keep me safe.

As a WC person I'll say what I think, you are letting us down.

Just read Graham's post for the first time and absolutely stunned. I've become a bit disillusioned with him recently, but to duck out of answering a question by posting up his working class credentials is pathetic. You really have picked up the politicians' tricks of the trade very quickly, haven't you, Graham?

As for Mr T, I'm with the rest of the chaps, Margaret, he's a top geezer!

Even worse ... but I'm glad to see the smilie .... I can pull down the wall (and sell all the rebar ... had to get metal in there) ... Unless I'm looking at the smile on the face of the tiger (My favorite "clean" Limerick.)

Think it's time to quit while I'm ahead

Give him a chance Wynonie.

Everyone might have to eat their words.

Graham might yet come up with the source of the evidence, to back up his statement, that 'it is a fact that 95% of people don't give a toss about Europe'.
