You see I did serve as a very valuable addition to AccyWeb, how else would you have known of these snippets of information

There surely is no way anyone can stop a councillor addressing his/her constituents?

If this was a pantomime Less I would now cry "Oh Yes There Is"

As you say, you were an active member here long before being elected.

Think its only in recent time that people have started using there own names G. I once contemplated asking mick to change my screen name to my own, but at that point there was no point as all the regs know exactly who I am anyway

As for the rest of us, we can continue to post whatever we like within the realms of legality and decency.

I, for one, will take full advantage of that privilege!

I think gynn the rules and regs regarding council computers may have come into being in the days when councillors didn't have their own machines but there was one in the members room at the old cardboard castle, allegedly somebody had been surfing porn channels at the time, now how true that is I don't know

As far as I can see, insults aren't really that necessary a lot of the time. Printing the facts of what is being proposed is usually quite enough to get a negative point across.

Most of the councillors are pretty civil to one another, it's only the odd one who refers to me in private as 'The Bald-Headed ****** From Rishton'.

No insult at all really, purely factual. I am bald admittedly, but I assure you my parentage is impeccable.

I wonder if Councillor Britcliffe has been on the phone to President Mubarak of Egypt, swapping notes on how to restrict internet access by the restless natives?

The only person who's posted on here, who drew attention to his status as an elected offical in the borough, was TheLeadersOffice HBC, otherwise know as one Peter Britcliffe.

His post have referred to council business.

Me thinks someone should perhaps pracitice what they're preaching.

If this is just an attempt to gag opposing views, it won't work.

I'll happily post verbatim what any councillor happens to tell me, if it's in the public interest, and I won't break any rules doing it, forum, or legal.

If Peter Britcliffe loses power in May, will he hand over the log in details of the Leader's Office account?

That is not allowed and would probably get the account banned

I would imagine it would have to wait until years of recounts and judicial inquiries

In that case then, would the account be barred from posting as it would be a false log in ?
