That's interesting - I never knew he had his own website. Not very impressive, is it? But the worst bit is the video in the Stanley section. The captions appear to have been written by a semi-literate 5-year-old and, what's more, they're riddled with factual inaccuracies. And just listen to that heavy rock song in the middle. Are they singing the word I think they are around 2.00 minutes in?

Oh dear, oh dear, Peter, after all the excellent teachers you had at St Peter's and AGS, I thought you could have done better than that!

Perhaps the same person wrote the similarly bad c.v. for the B.B.C, with the appallingly spelling mistakes?

Yep, there is a certain consistency there. Not a very good reflection on Councillor Britcliffe, is it?

...or on the educational establishments in Accriwoton (sic).

I do think it's rather arrogant, presuming who a person will vote for. That's the kind of narrow-mindedness that means some of the electorate are ignored, which could result in an election loss for some parties...yet again.

My vote will be a balanced choice, between party and person.

Since the only two people who are definitely standing so far are Graham Jones and Kevin Logan, I can say with all certainty, I won't be voting for the latter.

Don't care how far the election is off, you still won't be putting a cross in the Tory box

Then the question must be asked, why didn't someone notice and contact the BBC to get it corrected?

Also, the same excuse can't be used for the pitifully inept captions that are used on the Stanley video on PB's own site. I really, really hope you aren't going to tell me you wrote those, mate!

Was this before your eyesight improved or since? I presume you can now read to see the spelling mistakes but not quite well enough to find the backspace button & correct such errors?

Psst, they usually just copy & paste!

Well Mystic Meg, if you've arrived at that outrageous presumption based on the fact that I've occasionally been critical of some of the things done by our Tory controlled council, and bearing in mind I've also been highly scathing on here of Labour, the B.N.P., Kevin Logan, and the Liberal Democrats, it rather limits my options as to who I'll be voting for.

Please feel free to share with us where I'll be putting my cross.

As stated earlier, it's quite usual for small minded people to want to put everyone in small, easily labelled boxes, even when they put people in the wrong little box, with the wrong little label.

...and as stated earlier, my decision will be based on the person, balanced with the party they represent, and there's only Graham Jones, and Logan, confirmed as standing so far.

Probably a good job nobody has done such a thing as yet then!

Unless of course Cllr Jones or Kevin Logan have put you in their boxes.

Except Jaysay, who rather presumptively announced I wouldn't be voting Conservative.

It's the arrogance of taking for granted what people will, or won't do, which can lead to elections being lost.

I can guarantee you that Jaysay isn't the Conservative candidate so you need not worry.
