General Election?

I took your advice, well the bit about reading anyway and came across this, posted on 5/2/12.

Perhaps, but not enough to stand up to an ethnic minority councillor who you considered to be blatantly "electioneering". You claim that the Kashmiri motion couldn't simply be thrown out. OK, I can accept that. But what was there to stop you voting against the motion, or simply abstaining?

I care little for christianity, but the bible is a mine of useful quotes. One of my favorites is this...Mathew (7:20)


"Wherefore by their fruits shall ye know them"

The other one concerns balances and being weighed

Fair point, but when in Full Council you sometimes have to weigh up the bigger picture in Hyndburn. It might not affect Rishton but that particular motion had relevance to residents of my counterparts in several other wards, such as Central and Springhill. As a representative of Hyndburn I wasn't against it and I am vehemently opposed to abstaining unless it is absolutely necessary (which it rarely is).

It seemed like a tactical motion brought to council in order to show that the Conservatives are dead keen on Kashmiris. I may be wrong. However just because something doesn't affect me doesn't mean that I automatically vote against it. I have put up several motions and questions which single out Rishton but my colleagues have still voted for them.

As I have said before, I don't look forward to international motions at Full Council again.

Have we not exhausted this topic yet? There really is nothing more to say.

Well, you are proving to be a bigger bitch than both of them combined!

Put forward something worthwhile or else refrain from commenting at all, you made more sense while you were away.

No Less, we're just going down the same route as before.

I am asked a question, I respond.

Said questioner disregards my answer and keeps labouring the question over and over.

I am endeavouring to make Accyweb 'fun' for myself so that I never leave again.....

You're having a go at me for voting in favour of something that I wasn't inherently against. It took about five minutes to deal with and it wasn't even my motion. I have better things to worry about than something I glossed over several months ago.

We can't just throw something out because we don't like it.

Take it up with the Conservatives for bringing it to Council in the first place.

Nah, it's quite fun being a councillor. It's less fun when people simply hear words instead of listening.

I have a tankard of Shepherd Neame here, cushioning the blow of a two hour meeting tonight.

My appreciation of ale has rocketed since May 2010.....

I know, I know.....I'm on emergency reserves at the mo. The crate of Moorhouses Blonde Witch was 'destroyed' at the weekend, one of the best beers of all time.

However, this is easily my favourite ale:

Loweswater Gold - Cumbrian Legendary Ales

Regrettably, the only thing left in the Rishton Towers cellar now is a bottle of Old Dan.

Ouch.

You only seemed to have fun on here, whilst in opposition.

Attacking the then leader, and the ruling party on the council.

No one on here has viciously attacked you, or any of your colleagues, as you revelled in your assaults on them.

On this forum people have always grumbled when our politicans do something stupid.

They will continue to do so, whoever's in power, and whether politicans choose to come on here, and use Accy Web, for whatever reasons...or not.

A horrible Tykey person gave me some Copper Dragon (Pippin) the other week & considering it comes from the wrong side of the moors it was OK. :D

I've got a reprieve. One presentation bottle of Hobgoblin that I'd forgotten about!

Not keen on Copper Dragon ales, bit wishy-washy for my tastes. Mind you, I cut my teeth on Old Peculier.

Try the Victoria in Great Harwood (known locally as the Butcher Brig) for some cracking beers.

I continue to have a lot of fun on here, just seems to be more and more with people who don't automatically have a cross to bear with those in control of HBC.

Vote Moorhouses this May, we need to keep Tadcaster ales out!

When it comes to Ale I'm a bit of a slapper, I'll cozy up to most of em, no morales whatsoever. :D Although there are some that get my attention before others do. :rolleyes:

They all come along the bar with their shiny badges, trying to convince you that they'll do the best for you.

I've got a frothier head than he has, I'll quench your thirst better than he will....heard it all before.

In the end you just have to try them all to find out who's best and who never to vote for again.

You weren't 'inherently against' this one-sided, inflammatory piece of blatant anti-Indian propaganda, that has sod all to do with Hyndburn anyway?

The motion, as put before the council -

'That this Council supports the Kashmir community here in Hyndburn in condemning the atrocities committed and acts of barbaric violence by Indian Forces in Indian occupied Kashmir which has resulted in women been gang raped, children lined up and shot dead in front of their parents, people been torched and set on fire in their jail cells.'

God give me strength.

That was the offical motion, put before the council, that night last November.

That's what all the propagandist around the world, report the council as supporting.

You idiots gave them fuel for their fires.

I don't think they're too interested in what the wording might have been subsequently changed to.

You patsies did exactly what they hoped you'd do.
