Does this mean if we are all placid we are thick ? Is it intellectual to call people names like pond life because they aren't as 'intellectual' as somebody else ? He/She is purely ignorant and intolerant of others, nothing to do with intellect I'm afraid.

Blinkered and narrow minded? Being inteligent aint a precurser to being smart.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?
Is this meant to be a comedy thread? It's certainly reading like one. I love the way gondola insults other members and then accuses someone else of abuse. That part is a pure gem.
I did explain the use of the quote button earlier but I must be one of those numpty pondlife types who just aren't worth listening to.

Why is it that I'm getting a mental picture of the German officer in "Dad's Army"? "Your name has been noted...."

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?
Willow - amidst all the efforts to identify me, I must have missed your post seeking to offer assistance. I thank you for that, albeit rather belatedly.
Spuggie - for the avoidance of doubt, I am smart. With a characteristic sense of modesty
Wynonie - the comments were only noted for purposes of responding. Fear not, there is no such blacklist!!

Which suggests you think you are in a position of such power that one could!

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?
All,
I think readers would like me to divulge more information. It will serve to ensure the story does not go stale. There is plenty more to come, of that you can be assured. What has been stated so far means that we are only at the foothills. I am in the process of revealing the next item. It shall be ready over the next few days. I shall be frugal in relation to what it is right now, but here's a clue.
Let me ask you this. From which Committee's or Boards have Conservative Councillors resigned in the past few years? Why? Leave the explanation to me. Or indeed ask some of the Labour Councillors. I suspect they know only too well.
Let's begin with one Ward at a time.
Back on Friday.

More gripping than the Tracy Barlow murder trial in Coronation Street...slightly.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?
Here's another clue to start the process rolling.
Perhaps Councillor Jones can ask Councillor Jean Battle to reveal the name of the first Councillor to whom I refer, as well as the Committee from which this Councillor resigned.

Does anyone know what the world record is for how far you can get up your own backside ?

His first is in Dick, but never in head.
The second in Scaitcliffe, but also in bed.
The last clue is in yawning, which I presume might be moaning.
Keep tuned in for more rivetting clues.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?
