Ok is this the new "truth" that takes a whole page of bullkak to get a decent response?.. or is it all a good laugh from the same old tossers?.. oh I just can't help it.. does it mean we have to go through a whole page reading Gainda's untold wit and kak?So long as the truth gets out their in the end even if you don't like it Mancie

Well I've always perceived that Garinda had a great sense wit, but the kak I leave to you Mancie
As you said in the very first post of the thread you started, you've 'said it before', and other people will have therefore given their responses to your statements before, if they feel a reply is worthwhile.
Therefore why bother, and why bother getting all hurt and defensive, when others try and add a little levity to yet another of your same old/same old, threads?
Well if it's the "same old thread" then I'm floggin a dead horse.. but this is has been the norm on here for the last couple of years.. the untold slagging off of the Government..so why should it stop? looks like these days the Tories on here have done the business and taken their leave..seems nobody has much to say about the destruction ahead.. ok then.
Ah, now I'm starting to understand the cause of your little temper tantrum...petulance! "They were horrible to my beloved government for 13 years, why aren't they being just as horrible to these filthy, capitalist, imperialist con/dems? Those nasty Accywebbers aren't playing fair!"
Don't forget, Mancie, that if Accyweb had been around in '97, I'm sure there would have been a tidal wave of optimism for the incoming Nu-Labor lot, before disillusionment set in. Circumstances are totally different now, but we're still going through the honeymoon period...give 'em time!
The Con Demned honeymoon period hasn't lasted too long in Accrington Mr H. The Labour Party last Thursday got 76% of the vote in a by-election in Peel Ward. Which represented a swing to Labour of 4%.
I don't think that has anything at all to do with the National political scene...but more to do with the local support enjoyed by Wendy Dwyer.
I think that we should not link local and national politics, they are horses of a totally different breed.

If it is flogging a dead horse...and you can recognise the futility of it, then why do you still continue to do it?
The new labour party(as close to a tory party as it was ever able to get) had 13 years in which to right all the wrongs that you perceived other parties(tory) had left behind.......they made an awful job of it....now the tab has to be picked up for some of the hare brained schemes they put into place, the quangos that sucked billions of pounds of taxpayers money into the fiscal black hole.
Mancie, it is time you built that bridge!
As an outsider, I would venture to suggest that there may have been exceptional circumstances there, Bernard, lad. The winner seems to be very highly regarded in the local community, as was the previous incumbent...and, as you've often implied in the past, local and national politics are two very different animals!
Bernard only ever does that when he thinks he's on a winner, before the GE he very rarely had anything to say about his beloved comrades in London when they were quite rightly getting a caning

And to be honest, I don't think it does anyone any favours.
It is well known that Wendy Dwyer is held in high esteem, and that she is a tireless worker for people in her locality....and that is what counts in Local elections..... a local candidate with a previous good track record.
Unless you're based at Conservative Central Office, as they'd rather railroad one in from the coast.
Riding rough shod over any poor local Conservatives, who were desperate to stand.
Couldn't agree more Margaret, irrespective of party I know just how much work councillors put into their own wards, as far as I'm concerned thy earn every penny they get, and if anybody disagrees, my answer is have a go
It poses the question 'What does CCO really know, or care, about the resident/constituents of Hyndburn?'
They obviously thought they knew best, having the best chance of a win for years, and then blowing it.
Thats why I'm no longer a member of the party Margaret
Margaret you're right, Wendy is held in high esteem in the ward. But the election we are comparing last weeks result with,is the election of two years ago which when Graham last stood. It was Graham's seat that Wendy was defending.
And since then there has been a 4% swing to Labour. What that swing was down to, we will probably get a clearer picture on that next May when the Local Elections are held.
The general and local elections weren't exactly a landslide victory for any party that currently holds power, nor was it a thrashing defeat for Labour. It's got to say something about the devil you know.
The situation in Westminster is mirrored here in Hyndburn. We have a Conservative majority with a lesser party tacked on to make up the numbers, although the powers that be would have us believe that they're firmly in control.
Despite all we're being told about major cutbacks (and I'll believe 40% when I see it happen) there is still appalling waste everywhere and billions of pounds being spent on immigration and the Eurozone.
