Whilst people abuse welfare, those entitled sit under a cloud and who knows with the next Tory government. The innocent will pay because of the guilty. It's up to Labour to identify those that do not respect societies charity or else the Tories will delight in ending that charity such as Council Houses.

Read your post, couldn't argue with what you said though I find it hard to understand Council Housing being classed as 'charity', I always thought they came into being to cover the basic needs and rights for all to be housed in decent accommodation at a reasonable rent this I wouldn't class as charity.

It is a shame however as you rightly say that people abuse both the properties and the welfare system that ensures these things are available.

Which is encouraging.

Two candidates, Messrs. Jones and Logan, have posted on Accy Web, about their views, which might help us to decide who to vote for in the forthcoming General Election. It'd be good to have a few more brave souls.

If, as is rumoured, the local Conservative Association is hoping for Karen Buckley to fail, in the hope that there is another General Election, because no one party has a workable majority, and that there'll then be some leverage to argue with CCO, that you should be given the right to chose your own candidates, isn't that an easy decision for you?

Surely in the hope of that plan coming to fruition, there is only one possible candidate to vote for, to ensure that happening?

Why?

As pointed out earlier, being influenced by much respected family members of differing political pursuassion, I look at who I think will be the best candidate at each different election, weighed against the policies of the party they represent. Which means in the past I've not always voted one particular way.

If a candidate inspired me, regardless of political colour, I'd give their candidacy consideration, and could very well be pursuaded to give them my X

;)

You'll tell me out:D
 
In honour of Ms Buckley, I've wrote a poem:

There was a young lady from the Fylde
Whose views were exceedingly wild
In her quest for political glories
She was adopted by the local Tories
But not all of them were very happy
Including Britcliffe, an Oswaldtwistle Chappie
Now it looks like the winner will be Jones
And already we hear the opposition groans
As he is certain to take the seat
And his victory will be complete
So the lady will return to the coast
And the Tories will just be toast.

Good, innit! I think I should have been the poet laureate.

William McGonagall, eat your heart out!
 
this 'scans'
Our local tories are annoyed
their local choice is not employed
a woman from the coast is used
which causes them to feel abused
 
Very good.

Just no one please start a limerick starting,

'There was a young woman called Buckley...'

A former public schoolgirl, nicknamed Buckers,
At Queen Mary's hung out with some very rich muckers.
They all set off for the beach, but she slipped on a peach,
And she got laughed at by the assembled posh.................onlookers.

I used charity as a word those opposed to Council Housing would describe it when trying to understand why Labour has supports the policy.

As a Labourite I believe it is an important aspect of living and we should aspire to provide decent 'regulated and not for profit' housing to all who want it and respect it.

To all who want it and respect it, well lots want it Graham, but do they all respect it, I think not. As some one who does live in a council house (or was a council house) I treat it as if it was my own as I'm the one who lives there, but there are those who say its not mine and I don't give a stuff

As an example: In the end, feeling sorry for people who go on to wreck Council Houses gave Council Houses such a bad name none have been built in recent times and ORDINARY people who would appreciate a Council House have subsequently been denied.

Allelujah, Jaysay! You and Graham actually agree on something!
