Are we voting for policies or against them?

Since Graham Jones has been a regular on the Accy web, he has shown himself to be a politician with no qualms about speaking his feelings and has been totally open about what he believes in locally and is not afraid to stand up and say "this is crap" to the duly elected council!

I wonder how many other politicians are brave enough to put themselves on the spot by participating regularly on a message board? Somehow, I can't see P.B. or Greg Pope doing the same!

(Yes I know Greg Pope had an "open evening" on Hyndburnlife, but all questions were monitored before going on the site!)

Thank you Graham..........

like the blurb at the bottom of my post says, Joe Strummer sums up my feelings partly for wanting to get involved.

All I ever want is people to be reasonable [not agreeable] and to see whats in front OF US ALL!

To the outside public I would say this as being the most important thing in Hyndburn now: To question and criticise [with foundation] AND NOT to trot out crap about 'working together' which in reality means politicians go back to olden days of 'pi*sing in the same pot', which has been Hyndburns downfall and why there is so much apathy.

Bring on debate, lets have a bit more clarity AND ***** I am not always right!
