Chill.

Andrew - in case you didn't know, Graham is not asking for any donations for his campaign on his blogsite.
Maybe you would do better to study the fundraising habits of your own party, rather than trying to hazard guesses about what Hyndburn Constituency Labour Party are doing.
And before you tell me to chill, I am very chilled today thank you.

I did know. That's why I hazarded a guess that the Labour Party also got the majority of funding offline. Was a bit more than a guess really.

Cashy, have you not noticed yet, if he hasn't got an answer and he hasn't the whit to make one up on the spare of the moment, he ignores the question.
I've asked him many a pertinent question in many a thread, rather than bullshine and make it up his preference is to pretend the question wasn't asked, yes I have seen him use the same technique on you and many others as well, typical would be politician, when his technique improves he will move on to answering your question by asking another question that has no relevance to what was asked in the first place, there lies power of non speech.

Where? I generally don't ignore many posts, just sometimes I read them on my phone and forget to reply later.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
Andrew, you never answer a question. I asked you 20 times what is the best thing this 10 year Tory Coincil has achieved? Labours in the previous 10 was probably building the Globe Centre

Keeping council tax increases half that of the national average over the last 10 years is a major plus that has helped a lot of people. Maintaining healthy reserves and fixing a huge black hole in the budget is another.
In recent times I think the Arts Centre sounds like a fantastic project.

But it was the Tories who created the black hole in the first place and Labour had to take emergency action in 2002 to make sure HBC could carry on.
Despite Tory lies to the contrary Labour did not create the black hole - they were told about it after the elections in May 2002, when they took control of the council.
Only time will tell if the Arts Centre proves to be fantastic, and before you complain about bias - I think the regeneration plans for the Civic Theatre are very good.

Everywhere, if the questions get tough, you just get thread amnesia and find a tangent to go off on.

Can't get the staff for these cafepress sites anymore. That's the problem when just anyone can sign up to design stuff.
