AccyWeb is good for Council bashing though
Ya Neil but there is hypocrisy, the same people who were very garrulous on here for years, have now suddenly disappeared, and why, if your reading threads on here about a department you are in charge of, why not post their thoughts about the problem and not just PM certain members.

That's funny Shaz they didn't seem to have any problems in opposition, funny how they've dried up when they have to answer the questions

I object to being labelled a 'troll'.
I have pointed out that more benches are needed, not none, so I am in agreement with the reasons behind this thread.
However - the topic is being thrashed to death by obsessive postings which don't add any weight to the original argument.

No, but like everyone on here I'm allowed to have a moan, just like every other non-politican has in this thread, when people in charge do what we all agree are daft things.
Politicans have been keen to some on here in the past, and acted no differently from how I've said things, or as anyone else does.
Unless I break forum rules, or the law, I and anyone else are free to have a grumble at the crap we have to put up with.
Politicans aren't forced to reply, or even read it.
If they do, that's their choice.
I shall carry on posting here, exactly the same way as I have since 2005.
If some don't like it, because they're now in charge, and no longer want to encourage me...as they did when they were in opposition....tough.

I stand by every word I posted.
As you say, you know little, or care much about politics, so your sudden interest, is quite amusing.
I'll carrry on posting, and if I break the rules, I'll presumably be banned.
I haven't so far.

Object away yer entitled too, yeh gave your opinion, as yer entitled, i gave mine, i reckon all politicos from all parties would like certain subjects to roll oer n die,go away then so does the problem. i reckon you 2 are being as selfish as rindy says he is, cos i guess none of yeh ever used those benches? to me the only way to have a remote chance of resolving this problem,is to keep banging on about it, not rocket science.

However, it now appears there were some people who didn't hold the same high principals and would stop at nothing to get their grubby hands on power, but the people should have remembered back to good old 1997 when we were greeted at every tern by D-ream and things can only get better and we all know how that ended up
I only ever leaked information passed to me by Labour politicans, if I believed it was in the public interest...and it was something I could conceivably have known myself.
I didn't publicly leak everything given to me.
Being a slovenly housekeeper, I still have it all stored, handily.
Just in case I'm labelled a liar, as well as a right-wing Little Englander.
Sun's out now!
Be lovely, enjoying this late autumn sunshine.
Sat outside Accy Market Hall.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market
...and unlike some, my observations are aimed at how politicans act, and are not personal attacks.
I said last week Graham Jones was a 'good man, with a good heart'.
Yesterday I posted that I like Ken Moss, after chatting to him in my home, on more than one occasion.
Wendy Dwyer is an inspiration to me, both as a person, and a politican.
I disagree with Bernard on a number of issues, but I respect his determined stand. You could never accuse him of hypocrisy.
Claytonender is another councillor I have great respect for, as I do for Clare Pritchard, on a personal level.
I oppose bad, politically motivated actions, not people.
It's quite laughable that some now decide to butt in, making pathetic accusations of bullying.
Especially if it's done by people who just a short time ago rubbished every post made by a certain councillor on here, whatever the subject. Which seemed less politically motivated, and every inch a personal vendetta.
Fortunately most of us have memories longer than that of a goldfish.

Re: HBC have taken away the benches from outside the market
This thread has started to get personal between members and that is not acceptable.
I have no problem with the thread moaning about the council and there actions/policies and to a point councilors but please remember that any comments targeting members are likely to be removed if reported and if the mods feel comments are out of order are likely to be removed even if they are not reported.
