I absolutely agree. I can honestly say that I will never vote for Mr Jones, I have read a few of his threads and I do not like the way he has responded or attacked. I would prefer to tear up a voting slip rather than put a cross in that box

at least he has the backbone to come on here,which is more than can be said fer others n it probably aint a pleasant place fer a counciller to come.

Credit where credit is due, yes he does. Unfortunately the majority of his posts appear to be centering around personal arguments with other members, not anything constructive

This is one of the best threads we've had for ages; lovely custard pie stuff and schoolgirl insults masquerading as political debate. I love it - lets have more!

sorry for wander

Shouldn't that be soap opera queens?

Good grief the way this thread has been going we'll be having somebody waking up with a horse's head in bed next to them!

So, what's with the vote rigging then? We're in Central Ward and voted at Hannah Street. No-one tried to intimidate us. No-one asked us which way we were voting. There was a bunch of guys standing around in the yard chatting but none approached us or made threatening or intimidating advances. Have we missed out on something? Who won anyway?

(And is he going to get me a new wheelie bin?)

Well the accusations have been investigated and found to be untrue. Councillor Jones is being asked to apologize publicly and I hope he does!!!

And an allowance is salary right? or am I missing something.

That's probably a lot more than he (Cllr. Britcliffe) made selling frocks and fruit bon-bons, to the good people of Hyndburn.

Allah Dad was never accused. It affirms that in the article. The police gave up after meeting a wall of silence. I don't mind apologising but what for? The only person I spoke to and asked the question 'were you involved in fraud' was the Labour candidate. Allah Dad made a series of personal complaints about fraud about the Labour Candidate. So who exactly should be apologising to who and on what basis?
i
Its clear. Fraud took place. No one can argue against that. The police couldn't prove anything. That's a totally different matter.

If I had complained that the seat had been won fraudulently and these allegations had been investigated and proved unfounded I would have no problem apologizing. If you can't find it in yourself to do that it is your perogative. By making the complaint the implication is that the elected person is involved IMO.

cashman · 11-09-2008, 22:36

mr jones says he asked the question,"were you involved in fraud" unless i'm missing summat here, that not a complaint.

garinda · 11-09-2008, 23:03

Searching through old press cuttings, I can't find anything where Cllr. Jones, or indeed the press, made any allegations against Cllr. Dad.

There are quite clearly some irregularaties in the number of proxy votes cast in this ward, compared with earlier elections.

I think it was quite right to investigate the matter, and personally do not see the need for any public appology from anyone, as no one was named or accused.
