I do like to take an interest in what's happening in the borough, and remembered the last time I'd heard of any racist attacks in the area, they'd happened in Rishton.
Which rather makes a nonsense of your naive idea that certain areas are immune form this problem, which they clearly aren't.

If you can point out where I've said that anywhere is immune from racism then please do so. It isn't a major problem in Rishton and we have more pressing issues than two incidents of racist graffiti in a three year period.
This isn't the first time you've twisted my words. If you're going to use my previous posts to make your points then at least have the grace to read them properly.

Re: Brown asks Voters to give Labour a second look
That's saying we're immune from it, is it?

Er...to anyone with the ability to read English, yes.

On the list of things we need to sort out, it's pretty near the bottom of the pile. It simply doesn't crop up often enough to consider it a recurring issue, ergo it isn't something the residents feel needs dealing with.
What part of Hyndburn do you live in, beyond overlooking the ducks and geese?

What's that got to do with the subject of the thread?
I could be posting from an iron lung in the Cayman Islands.
My location doesn't mean my opinions are any less valid

Nothing at all, and it suggests paranoia that I would consider your views less valid solely on your location rather than how you put yourself across. I'm interested in the comparison between towns, that's all. I wouldn't have thought someone with such strong opinions would have been remotely concerned in disclosing the town they're posting from.
Time for me to bow out and leave you to your ducks, I think.

Not paranoid at all.
The majority of Accy Web members know exactly where I live, however chatting in threads, is against forum rules.
