The lack of any mention, or support, in Peter Britcliffe's column in the Observer, was posted about and discussed on here just last week, and the next thing you know there's a photograph of the Leader and the candidate cuddling and smiling for the cameras.

Sweet.




Though I can't help thinking a more public show of political loyalty might have had more impact if it had been in the newspapers, rather than tucked away, in the candidate's ever growing gallery of snaps, on her website.



Accy Web says jump....

Rishton, eh?...right, Karen, next Monday early afternoon, Spoton service 6/7 - Rishton-Harwood-Clayton-Accy - ask the driver to put you off at the Oak Lea, come inside and ask for Wynonie or Cashy, I'll even treat you to a bag of chips from next door. Wrap up well though, it might be a bit nippy on the Clayton End...but you'll love it!

What's the club shop's opening times?

Just in case she'd like to support the local team, by buying a Stanrington F.C. scarf, prior to the game.

I'm sure she'll be wearing a replica shirt and singing all the Ultras favourite songs before the afternoon's out!

For all the fluff about how the Conservative candidate should win from the Tory supporters, none of them seem to know an awful lot about her.

Has she actually been to any Hyndburn Conservative party meetings or been introduced to members en masse?

Once she's had pie and chips, washed down by a few pints of smooth, the allure of prawn butties may be somewhat dimmed.

I want to know more about her!

I've researched all the other candidates, months ago.

All I know about Ms. Buckley is what I've gleamed from what little there is on her website.

I would hope we all want to know more about her but the Conservative faithful either know more than they're letting on or are simply backing the blue flag on blind faith.

Hand on heart, is that really the best way to choose who you're going to vote for?

I'd rather hear what she thinks, directly from the organ grinder's mouth, as I don't speak Monkey.

I don't think she has a monkey, so you're in luck!

What was it you really wanted to know then? If there was something, that is.

Lots.

From her thoughts on the war on terror, to what she thinks about civil partnerships, and if she'd support moves for total equlaity, and for same sex couples to be able to be married in church, if they so wish.

They're just two, of hundreds I have.

Though I guess I'll just have to wait until she's on my doorstep, before I quiz her further.

They sound like good questions. I retract my "If there is something". You're obviously very interested in finding out. Her number is on Karen Buckley - Conservative PPC for Hyndburn, just at the top under the main header, let us know how you get on.
