so therefore what yer advocating is they should allow themselves to be tarred with the same brush, to the ratepayers, so P.B. n his merry band don't look like its only them wasting money.

No, you missed out the bit where I said 'they should shout from the rooftops' that they disagree with it.

Are you living in the same UK as me? I certainly don't see the UK to be a much better place than it was in 1997.

that is not much use as a tactic, many do not buy the local press these days. a good soldier knows when to retreat,

The actual costs of the calendars are as follows -Baxenden £305.00, Huncoat £316.00,
Rishton £355.00, Great Harwood £448.00, Oswaldtwistle £533.00. These areas all have an Area Management Council (which is a new name for Area Councils). This does not include any delivery costs.

None of the following Area Management Boards are having calendars are having calendars - East Accrington, Church and Central. Springhill, Clayton and Altham. This is because the board members voted not to have the calendars. The boards are made up of the ward councillors plus members of the public.

Seems to be a waste of money to me if most people throw them away

And that's only the Civil Servants on telephone number salaries, in fact that's being generous there are over 800,000 more civil servants now than in 1997, no doubt the book, if it exists, was written my pinky and perky, or other words Mandy and Campbell. Eduction, Health Care, Civil Liberties and Immigration laws

Notice you didn't mention the Trillion pond debt we've been saddled with, or the two Illegal wars Blair lied through his teeth to get use into. Considering this Government inherited the best economic figures of any incoming government in history, says all you need to know about them and their achievements, they'll be leaving a dogs breakfast of an economy behind them. Mind you it must be great living on planet Graham, where your always right and everybody else is wrong

Right i am at a loss to know what constitutes a "Legal War"? please explain?

whilst i agree Blair lied to the british public, What makes a war Illegal or Legal? personally i think that term is just more bull used by the media/tory sycophants, unless of coarse WW2 was a legal one? when the government of the time,forget who that was

had Germany bombed with "Leaflets" first so as to hopefully save their investments in german factories.

is it that makes it legal?

Just received a hand delivered Christmas Card from Miles Parkinson. A lovely snow scene depicting Altham Parish Church .. with a mug shot of Miles and Graham Jones (shirt and tie) on the inside.

Has useful numbers on the inside, with a calendar on the back.

Does also state .. "Paid for by Graham Jones and Miles Parkinson - please recycle" ...

The most eco thing to do would be give the card back to Miles so he can send it someone else next year. You would save all that energy and green house gas release by recycling the card into a new one.

Think if you use the search button you will also find a thread about a comic book called "Billy's Weekly Liar"
