I do find it difficult to guesstimate anything factual from figures that just seem to have been plucked from the air.
Is this all we can expect from now on? Or will our elected representatives actually realise that we and indeed the whole of Hyndburn may have been foolish enough to put them in charge but without a reasonable explanation for their actions, by heck i reckon we might just vote at the earliest opportunity to relieve them of this burdensome responsibility we seem to have placed on them.

Nor likely to.
It was still a very good post, though it hurts me to tell you.

Graham, I have to say that when you were elected I expected you to do great things.
You know Accrington. The people are real to you, you have rubbed shoulders with them, joked with them, had a pint with them.

All I can say now is that I am very disappointed that you haven't lived up to expectations...not just mine, but those who you were elected to represent.
Maybe it is our fault...we expected too much.

Blessed is he who expects nothing - he will never know disappointment.

As a working class person who resides up Plantation Street I to find hard to swallow that you would kick ordinary struggling Accy families in the teeth when it is a fact that 95% of people don't give a toss about Europe but do care about jobs and the economy. As a WC person I'll say what I think, you are letting us down.

You really have picked up the politicians' tricks of the trade very quickly, haven't you, Graham? :(

They go in Green, turn Yellow, and come out Bent.
