Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

Have you been privy to some more information, since your post on the second of June?

Then you said, and I quote, 'Having now read the article it is nice to see our public officials acting...

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

I'd only be demanding an appology from any councillor who knew that there appeared to be suspicious voting patterns, and who hadn't demanded a full investigation.

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

We'll have to agree to disagree.

All the information I've seen refered to the high number of proxy votes cast in that ward. No councillor was named as being responsible for this discrepency....

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

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...

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

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

I really have nothing to say on this matter, except that political point scoring seems to have reached an all time low, and it disgusts me.:mad:

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

If there is corruption going on, whichever parties are involved, then we should at least try to stamp it out, and prosecute those involved.

I'm proud of the democracy we have, and would hate to...

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

Or the system?

A system whereby people find themselves in charge of multi-million pound budgets, when in reality they'd struggle to organise a jumble sale in the church hall.

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

Quite a lot of the current incumbents wouldn't even be sent an application form, nevermind reach the interview stage, if applying for a job of equal standing in the corporate world.

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

I agree, up to a point. Though I still think voting to give yourself a 20% increase is outrageous.

No matter how many peanuts you pay, you are still going to have a few monkeys.

Strange, first he's issuing invitations, the next he's too busy to listen to someone in his ward.

Good job he's no longer running his frock shop, he really would struggle to find time for...

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

Er... I hardly think so, as I was criticising Tory policy re:benefit reforms as being too wishy washy, and middle of the road.

On some things I'm more on the side of Attila the Hun, though people...

The fact was wrong, the rudeness was your remarks about Graham Jones.

I bet nurses, firemen, or soldiers, wish they could vote to give themselves a 20% pay increase.

Still, as long as Peter Britcliffe thinks he's worth it, while many residents of Hyndburn struggle...

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints

He deals with local issues, and not local and national ones.

Plus, unlike M.P.s councillors don't get paid a salary, just expenses.
