Very Strange

Resting in Peace
Overlooker
Saturday is like any other day for me except that my daughter comes round with my shopping and usually brings me a copy of the Observer. So after I finish trawling Accy Web and other sites, I tend to settle down with a brew and the Obs.

I was quite surprised when I opened the Obs and on the front page was a full page article on HBC increasing charges for funerals. How strange I thought, if this had been 12 months ago, the ink on the paper wouldn't have been dry before a rampant thread running into pages, slagging of Britcliffe and the council, no doubt instigated by Mossy aided and abetted by Bernard and Joan and the world and his wife finding plenty to say, yet not a single word, funny old place Accy Web ain't it:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

It's all part of the caring society, if you can't afford to die you'll live longer.:D
 
It's 'the cuts'.

Think I'll start cutting things off myself, to reduce costs later.

I'll have to find out how much they charge to cremate a foot, hand, etc.

:rolleyes:
 
Oh the point that there aren't many posts from Labour councillors, now they're the ruling party.

Conversely it could be said there aren't that many posts, i.e. none, by Conservative councillors...now they aren't in power.

They remain tight lipped, whether they're in, or whether they're out, and make Helen Keller look like a chatterbox.

:rolleyes:
 
its been said quite a few times on here by so called aiders n abetters what is thought of this woman n none of it complimentary, so its nowt new, but yeh choose to ignore that fact n yeh aint got Altzeimers........at least not yet.:rolleyes:

Maybe they aren't interested in Accy Web, but my point was if the Tories had have done the self same thing it would have been a toss up (whoever got their Obs first) whether Mossy or yourself would have started a thread on it:rolleyes:

Oh right.

I'm supposed to be wearing my Rebel Red label again?

Just a minute, whilst I take off my Right-Wing Bigot badge.

It does get very confusing. Whether I'm supposed to be pro-Labour, or pro-Conservative.

I suppose it depends on which party's policies I'm ridiculing at the time, and therefore which blindly faithful supporters happen to feel aggrieved.

:rolleyes:

On this issue, not knowing much, besides what was printed in the Observer, it seems a bit of a non-story.

Apparently Hyndburn has historically had the lowest cremation/interment costs in the county. Which are to be increased because of the cuts that need to be made, and this will bring us in line with the rest of Lancashire.

Sounds like an inevitable course of action.

So you can hop back in your budgie cage Little Bluey, because I'd have said exactly the same thing, whoever happened to be in control of H.B.C. at the time this happened.

;)

Nevertheless if it had been the Tories doing it no doubt there would have been a dash on here to ram it down Britcliffes throat, sadly we now seemed to have lost the political antagonists, mind you I don't take any satisfaction from saying I told you so:rolleyes:
 
Having read the story, it seems it was only a matter of time before this action was inevitable.......whoever had been in control of the council....it isn't really something that can be argued against.

As I can only speak for myself, I'll repeat what I've already said. What's happened seems like an inevitability if Hyndburn's costs are that much lower than everywhere else in Lancashire, and savings need to be made to protect other services, and jobs.

I'd have said exactly the same thing if your little chum had still been on the throne.

Quite agree.

Seems like some are a little delusional.

Or perhaps they're just trying to keep the name of their beloved Britcliffe alive, now he's no longer in power.

You know better or should do, no ifs no buts, whether it was inevitable or not Labour and their apologists would have made capital out of it, we might even had the thread called Dying of the fat of the land;)

Which 'Labour apologists'?

Presumably there must be others, seeing as you named myself and Cllr.Moss.

Do try and remember, before attempting to second guess what I might have done if your little chum had held on to power, that I'm not tied by blind party loyalty.

I'm free to speak my own mind, and have no political axe to grind. Unlike some.

If savings need to be made, bringing the borough in line with the costs in the rest of Lancashire, it seems like a no brainer.

Back to posts by politicans.

Now they no longer have control of the council, are we to take it the Conservative councillors who are members of Accy Web, are going to remain mute?

Seems a shame.

Those in oppostition used to have freedom to spout off on here.

Guess we'll just have to make do with their little poodle's yaps.

I actually think its time you got a life, and stopped being bitter and twisted, when people point out your numerous short comings but I guess that will never happen

Then perhaps you shouldn't name me, attempting to guess what I would have posted if H.B.C. was still under Tory control.

Let me spell it out very clearly, so even those blinded by party allegiance can understand.

Given that we are facing cuts, it seems an inevitability that Hyndburn's cremation/interment costs are brought into line with the rest of Lancashire.

I'd have thought much the same whoever happened to control the council when this happened.

As stated earlier I think it's very much a non-story, and certainly not worthy of a front page one.

I'm quite aware of my own shortcomings.

The main one being not suffering fools gladly.

And no doubt that post will be repeated time after time after time after time, infinitum, I'm sure I'm not the only member on here who has noticed that you are always right, and woe betide anybody who dares to question the GREAT ONE, but if they do it ends up with snide remarks coming think and fast for the next 10 post until they are beaten into submission, whence you can sit back with a smug grim say that told um 10 times, just wonder what would happen if I decided to reciprocate, the mods would be all over me like a rash.
 
well having read this exchange n not givin a toss either way, cos yer both mates, i can honestly say i think yeh asked fer it.:rolleyes:
