The only connection to that committee is thro my daughter, if I attended they would bring the police in to eject me, I am too out spoken to put up with some of the tripe dressers they have on that committee, apart from what they've read in Bill Turners books (if they have read them or just gone on the internet) they have very little knowledge of the events leading up to and during WW1, and during that war.
Without Bill Turners years of research into the Accrington Pals, none of these events would be taking place.
Bill Turner and I did a commemoration to the 90th anniversary of the Accrington Pals in 2006, NO Committee, NO working parties, Just Bill and I with the help of the curator of the Haworth Art Gallery.
If Bill was still alive he would have sorted this lot out in no time.

Sadly Bill died on July 5th 2007, 91 years to the date the Pals were relieved from the trenches after the battle of the Somme.

Perhaps I wasn't clear with what I said. Councillors have taken a back seat. The public are running the committee and arrangements. Some times you're too clever by half!

As was reported in the Observer, Ruth Turner was the person who chose the photos, the wife of the great late local historian Bill Turner for whom we have a lot to thank for his work. (As well as Walter and Andrew Jackson amongst others).

There is no mention of Councillors taking a back seat in your original post. There is no mention of the general public either. I have copied it above for you.
So no you were not very clear

It's just his way of politically back peddling and putting some distance between himself and the Councillors from responsibility for mistakes.
He has put that were it belongs, squarely onto the shoulders of the volunteers.
They don't have votes that need looking after.

My 'couple of councillors' was a response to a suggestion that committee = council committee.

Less; what a silly response (but predictable LOL). No one on it thinks that. Your mind has run away with your prejudice.

Well I do feel honoured, it's been such a long time since you responded to my posts, but then I suppose that's because I'm in your 95% of Hyndburn voters that can't be trusted with any form of referendum.
A silly response? Of course it was, that was all it deserved, prejudiced? No not at all, I dislike all forms of incompetence not just this particular committees. (I'm being inclusive here, both your and my own natural traits of having perfected this talent should never be ignored).

Look Less. My efforts are towards making Hyndburn a better place. Not get wrapped up in the personal bollocks.

A dignified response would have been not to respond in such a manner.

A dignified response would have been to not respond at all.

Oh deary me, my MP is upset with me, well that's ok I don't mind.
I believe you Graham when you say you want to make Hyndburn better.
I also think you meant it when you said 95% of us can't be trusted with a referendum, consider this though, if by the same token we aren't competent enough to do that, then 95% of us that bother to vote aren't competent enough to choose the right man when voting either.
Now, perhaps you should stop making personal posts to me and get back to generalising to the masses.
After all, it wouldn't do your political image any good to be seen losing an open argument to a fool that only posts in a silly fashion, now would it?

But may I remind you that it was you that started talking personal bollocks with me.

Well that's alright then, because they all talk Bollox in the House.

Hey diddle diddle ... is that anything like the dish running away with the spoon Maybe you meant to say "Your prejudice has run away with your mind?" Yes, that's better. Perhaps you should hold off on your insults until they make more sense. Good thing is, from your point of view anyway, now that Less's mind has absconded, he might just vote for you.

Just expressive Anglo Saxon (Glitterbest v The Crown, 1977) but certainly not intemperate. Just everyday language and importantly to the point.
