Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Graham Jones MP: Something just feels wrong about the People's Pledge
So much waffle, I'm off to buy some jam.
'I made this point to Europhobes who wrote to me demanding I vote with them...
I felt the argument moved against the anti-EU campaigners was the tone and content of the 29 letters I received. None of the content contributed much to the debate. Many opened up with threatening comments...'
Anyone want to own up to being one of the Hyndburn Twenty Nine?
Wasn't me.
He's not worth the price of a stamp.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Still, it's nice he's found somewhere to share his highly intellectual thoughts...with no one imparticular. Now he's no longer such a regular contributer on here.
There may be few readers for his blog, compared to Accy Web, but at least there's no demanding questions to be answered. Which can be such a challenging bore.
Besides, if anyone did read it, any uppity dissenters are so much easier to deal with on your own blog.
Bless.

Nor me.......I would never start a letter with any kind of threat.......tactics like that mean that you haven't got much of a case......certainly not one that you believe in.

The Hyndburn 29, reminds me of the Weatherfield one Rindi, but she was innocent

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
i suppose we will have to take his word about the threatening letters
whats his word worth these days
is it as assured as there will always be tax or as assured as greece paying back its debts ?
if i was a pubic figure and recieved threats i would ring the police but i suppose it would depend on how serious teh threats were

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Perhaps it was a 'if you don't vote for a referendum, I won't vote for you again' type threat
I love the way he plays with figures and then states that a 47% reduced to a 45% out vote is a 'dramatic' change.
I love the way he talks about a low turnout meaning that those that didn't vote aren't interested or want to stay in. Maybe we should apply that to voting in the last two local elections, which basically would mean we would still have a Conservative majority on the council.
I love the way he bangs on about saving local jobs without a shred of evidence to show that these jobs would have been lost if we pulled out.
I also love the way he paints Eurphobes as inflammatory without mentioning that Europhiles are just as inflammatory.
I also love the way he leaves the door open by saying that now is not the right time, so that they can include it in their next manifesto just in time for the next election.
Somehow I doubt that people will forget what Labour did, or trust them to keep their word next time.

Probably non of them 100%, I think they change their mind when then get in power and learn what is really going on. It's easy when your not in power to say what you would do to mend the world, once in power and all the facts are available reality sets in.
I also think some say what the voters want to hear just to get votes, like labour and the referendum but I would guess that did not stop you voting for them with your union head on.
