I don't really think it matters that much if he denied saying it. If anything it just shows he wasn't meaning it as maliciously as some people seem to be assuming.

I love the guy though so I am biased. I think the sun shines out of his backside. Even if he is a bit porky.

There's a code of conduct that councillors are supposed to follow, they're not supposed to act like this in full council. One of ours did the same down here and it got a full investigation. He was found to be in the wrong and got a telling off but at worst they can be removed from the position.
The man is being an idiot giving the opposition ammunition if he's attacking her every meeting, and by using sex specific remarks he's bordering on having a sexual harassment claim against him.
Didn't I read also that some failed to declare an interest recently?

I find these meetings most interesting, the logic councillors use if they're in it for the power glory n cash can be hilarious.

I think the answer is have a do yourself, but before you do, ask yourself one question, "would I work for me?" if the aswere is NO give it up as a bad job, because me is Joe Public, and you can never satisfy the general public all the time especially when you have a duel party system, half of the popultion are going to be upset by the other half, so its a no win situation

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

I have said it before and I will say it again, Britcliffe is a liability. He should have been voted out at the last opportunity, and would have been, had he not bought off his constituents with empty promises and a cheap illustrated calendar ( a pity that Gayle is too principled to stoop so low, or lower).

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

When I'm in support of him I think it's my place to stand by his denial :p otherwise I'd be a hypocrite. Of course if I was in support of the silly cow I would have to disagree with him and rant about it like everyone else. She could've been a silly cow for all I care though, and she more than likely is for choosing HER job. Politics is no place for a woman.

Except maybe Thatcher, she seemed powerful and had back bone, even if she was a bit crappy :p

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

I was one of the people in the public gallery, who saw the incident. PB did call Cllr McCormack a silly cow. It might be interesting to find out exactly, what else he is lying about.

(I have not been on Accy web for several days, otherwise I would have posted earlier).

Maybe you agreeing with his denial, shows that you will suopport anything anyone says, just to prove they are innocent. typical lawyer.

As for your attitude that politics is no place for a woman, I suppose you think that women should not have the vote either. Personally I can't see why the law is ok for a woman but not politics.

But then I forgot you are studying law.

So pleased you have turned up Claytonender .. wondered where you were...phew ... was beginning to think that I may have imagined it at the end of the day, but you more versed in these matters than I am, so feeling a little more confident in my memory now.. :)

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

thank you :D

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

That might be a good thing, all we need is a load of Councillors calling each other names on here. We do enough of that ourselves :D

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

I would rather never had the vote, then I cant be accused of being a part to the government that is currently in power. Better to not be associated with it and leave the men to be blamed and play politics. Its all a very childish affair. I would happily be a housewife, and if my boyfriend ever comes into money I would rather be his housewife than a lawyer.

I got an essay marked and handed back to me today and I was marked down for using common sense over legal principals. I guess I need to learn what opinions to use at certain times, because I'm treated like I speak like a lawyer on here with no common sense, and the complete opposite at the law school. Can't win can I?!

I just like Britcliffe as a person, not as a politician. He's friendly. Everyone loses their rag every now and again and politicians do it all the time! So what if he called her a silly cow, I've been called all sorts of crap on ths forum, some of it I could probably sue for libel over but I have a sense of humour and a bit of back bone. Whoever that woman is needs to get over it, she could've been called much worse things!

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

Damn that wasted vote, I never did get my calender :D

I hope your stooping low suggestion is not related to how you would like Gayle to pose in her calender photo shoot :eek:

As far as the "or lower" suggestion, I think you should take a cold shower.


I do agree with all the comments regarding petty bickering between Councillors being destructive for Hynburn in general.

Re: "Silly Cow" Clr Britcliffe
 

I'd just like to point out here, as a recipient of the infamous calendar, he still didn't get my vote.:D

Stop babbling, you silly cow.
