Can I just ask a couple of questions?
I don't expect you personally to answer, but if you could spare the time it would make a nice Change.
- Where did you see these Campaigners?
- When did you see these Campaigners?
- Were these Campaigners carrying Labour leaflets?
- Does Ms Buckley really exist?
Question 3. is the most important because I think PB is doing more good for Labour than he is for his own party so far as campaigning is concerned.

Nope, I mean you don't answer questions you don't like, because they may prove you wrong, you ignore anything awkward and as the above shows you have that political way of answering questions with questions.

...
so you ask me a load of silly questions, and then I'm answering them 'politically' because I am not going to sit answering silly questions for your benefit all day? Haha Damned if I do, damned if I don't!

Gosh you've really outwitted me now haven't you andrew, or have you?
Could it just be that your little mind would rather attempt a come back on a throwaway post that is of course full of silly questions, in it's attempt to trivialise my earlier post about you?

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.

A post the content of which I stand by.
However if you would like to carry on in the juvenile manner that you have now adopted I can cope with that as well.

Yawn! I'm not going to play games. If you have a serious question you wish to ask me, then go ahead, or PM me. I'm not going to bounce around trying to judge whether your silly questions posts are serious or not, or try and trivialise anything. If you've got a question to prove your above quote right, spit it out man!

I'm very tempted, but no, you are the expert spitter, has your dummy fallen beyond your reach again?

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.

Please explain why in 2002 the Audit Commission rate Hyndburn a poor run council and in 2009 an excellent run council, the Audit commission have no axe to grind and tell the truth, unlike Labour who would know the truth if it bit them on the bum as this government have ably displayed over the last 13 years

It might just make the point you are trying to put forward if some neutral source was to proof read your input before you click on 'submit reply', it is surprising what a difference the three little characters n't could have made at the end of would had you just had it checked.
I sometimes have time on my hand's and would like to volunteer my services below, is an example of how the above post has been improved with just a little care and consideration.

I think the word might be,
Gem, rindy, but we may never know.
gem (jm)
n.
1. A pearl or mineral that has been cut and polished for use as an ornament.
2.
a. Something that is valued for its beauty or perfection: a little gem of a book.
b. A beloved or highly prized person.
3. A type of muffin.
In this context I'd go for No.3

As far as I am aware, the turnover of staff at HBC is quite high so if they're such a good council why is this happening?
Also, Cllr Britcliffe was overjoyed at the amount of good news he was able to bring to the table at last week's council meeting but unfortunately he gave no criteria on how HBC had achieved their 'excellent council' status.
Would anyone care to elaborate?

He doesn't have to do the Audit Commission do that for him, they don't tell lies, they tell it as it is, you don't get excellence status for nothing its earned, but that doesn't come in line with the Jones Master Plan, what ever that is only he knows
