Oh very witty, have you got the Collins Quotations Dictionary to hand this evening?

I was going to post 'hoisted by your own man-kini'.
But I didn't want any surreptitious reader from the council to have a stroke.
Two stokes and he's out.
Apparently.

You leave Immanuel alone Mr Moss, that jaysay territory I won't authorise a visa next time you call for a brew

Re: Accrington Liars' Weekly
The huge amount of enthusiasm for Peter Britcliffe displayed by certain councillors could be dangerous if it was used in a positive way!

You must have been reading a different forum to this one, I don't recall there ever being a Councillor for Peter Britcliffe ever posting on here. (Or maybe I do recall but am in actual fact lying).
I'm sure the archivist knows.

My post was aimed at the council as a whole,your name was not included in the text.
I am in any case warming to your apparent honesty and hope all turns out well for you.
I just believe that council should get on with the job in hand and stop bickering in public.

If some councillors dislike the current leader, they need to go and tell people, positively, what they will do given the chance. All they need is a majority in opposition to Peter.
Rather pointless bickering to high hell every week about how unfair it all is, that the ones with the majority of councillors run the council.

But have they got a majority, without the mayor?
