He did request info on all councillors.

As for the past history of politics, that it can't be forgotton, is bunkum.

Workhouses for the poor, people dieing because they couldn't afford to call a doctor, no education for those who couldn't afford it, wages so low there was no way out of a life of poverty, versus a National Health Service, a State education, a minimum wage, rights in law to protect workers from exploitation.

The past can't be forgotton, because tomorrow it might return.

Andrew stated earlier in the thread that he had asked for accounts of ALL councillors spending.

I think a lot of PB's constituents would be insulted by that comment but hey ho if you know better than them about who will best represent their needs.

To a point I agree, but faced with the opposition they still have a better stab at making a society that isn't purely driven by money.

They make mistakes, but do seem to care about those less fortunate in our society, and also believe in equality, more so than the other political parties.

Apoloogies for that one, now I have read the entire thread through, I blame distraction tactics by people who have nothing other than personal insults to make, but I'm sure Andrew's motives must have been entirely admirable.

PBs constiuents would be insulted by what comment?

He was elected by the residents of one ward in Hyndburn, St. Andrews.

(My ward.

)

He has twice stood as a candiidate to represent the people of Hyndburn as a whole, as a Member of Parliament, and twice you've rejected him.

(I say you, as I wasn't back living in Hyndburn then.)

Nowhere does it say I am blaming PB or his tory constituents for the non voters Bernadette...

Maybe Andrews motives were not entirely admirable, only he can know the answer to that.

Your comment about them being apathetic constituents would surely insult a lot of PB's constituents surely? I am sure they are quite able to judge who will best represent them and take care of the interests in their ward much the same as you and I can do. Doesn't appear to me that PB is doing such a bad job according to them

Why? I'm talking about non voters, how does that compute?

Exactly, and you don't know the answer either do you?

Lol, I quickly Googled 'St. Andrews ward' to see if it had an apostrophe in it, when I came across this site, and this quote....

'Our erstwhile MP wonders and worries about his Conservative opposition at the General Election.

He needn’t! He will have opposition and believe me, whoever it is will be tough opposition.

The one thing for certain is that if I were fortunate enough to represent the Conservatives, following the extra pounds I put on during the summer holidays it would certainly be a “heavyweight contest”.

However, the way he and his Government have carried on recently, it wouldn’t surprise me if whoever his opponent is, he will find he suffers a knockout!'

Councillor Peter Britcliffe

What was I saying about not forgetting about the horrors of the political past?

cashman · 15-02-2009, 01:09

from what ive read..... in his own ward bernie, NOT Hyndburn as a whole, theres a world of difference.

There's some lovely pictures to look at on the site, by the way.

They'd make an absolutely beautiful calendar.

No knew I should have ignored this thread

But at the end of the day was it really necessary for it to be started? Surely this could all have been done by PM's
