We are discussing local politics here - different ball game - though national policies (by way of grants) can influence how some local decisions are made.

What makes me laugh is that Cllr Britcliffe complained he wasn't get enough money from the Labour Government towards regeneration etc, yet now, when the budget was cut completely by the coalition, and he was given no government money, he blames the Labour government for overspending. So, they either overspent, or didn't give him enough...which is it??

Britcliffe is the Spinmaster General.

If you questioned him on anything it would be the opposition's fault, specifically Graham Jones for owning two houses.

Well it's worked so far, why change a winning formula?

'Why did Hyndburn Council waste over £600k on the Hyndburn Life Website?'

'Because of Graham Jones....er, 13 years of Labour rule.....the previous administration.'

Peter Britcliffe, predictable as ever, only interested in seeing himself in the paper and sod the lot of you poor proles. He's even grafted a canoe onto his torso for last week's Observer.....
