You keep harping on about what I would and wouldn't do if Labour had done things, I have to tell you that 99% of the time your predictions are dead wrong.

I don't agree with In Vision either and have openly said so. If something is a waste it is a waste full stop and pinning a different political badge on it doesn't make it better.

You can stop making the assumption on my behalf that Labour is saintly and the Conservatives are pure evil, I just happen to strongly disagree with the present leader of the controlling group, not the entire conclave of its members.

That's funny my predictions about Labour are usually 99% right

So we now have a dog called Harry running loose amongst our young children, supposedly giving advice on road safety.

Taken from the Highway code:_

56

Dogs. Do not let a dog out on the road on its own. Keep it on a short lead when walking on the pavement, road or path shared with cyclists or horse riders.

Perhaps not the best of animals to be advising the tots?

Just a quick edit.

I wonder how much it cost?

Its a great idea isn't it. A bit off topic for this thread though.

O.K. so I'm Nobody, just 'cos I have read it.

Do you think I should scan the 'Colouring Competition in for the children who's parents either haven't received the Beacon or those children who's parents stuffed it straight into the White Sack?

Wow, negative karma! I must have really touched a nerve somewhere. Thanks, whoever you are. The Leader of the Council can't shut me up, do you really think a red square will?

You clearly agree with The Beacon, I would wish you enjoyment of every word that your 8p has bought you.

Never comment on karma mate, people jump on the giving/taking game then. I wonder who took it from you. I know it was not me.

I know a lot about Harry without reading about it.

Read all about him here

I recieved one, flicked through, nothing caught my eye (apart from asking the other half if he wanted to do the colouring comp!!

) then it went in the white sack

I'll take your word on that, also your advice.

Perhaps my own spin on the money that is being spent around Hyndburn errs on the negative side for the most part but it is what I truly believe and The Beacon, whether from a Tory or Labour council, is a waste of funds. We are here to govern, not to crow about how wonderful we are.

It's like I was saying in my other thread about synergistic spending, all these little amounts on meaningless things add up into a massive amount that could have been put to much better use.
