Internationalist approach at H.B.C.

[Neil]

Working nights makes me dimmer than usual so I feel I need to ask my learned friends to explain this matter to me.

I watched the video above and it appears there are 2 sides. Those that were kicked out of the region and those that did the kicking out.

Which side do we now support, the ones that were murdered and raped and were living in the tents or the murderers and rapists?

Oh it's easy to work out which side we're now officially on.

The side who have relatives working as councillors on Hyndburn Borough Council.

Doesn't matter who committed which atrocities.

Forget that.

We support the ones who have kin living in the borough.

Simple.

Disgraceful!

How many voters is that then

Must be worth it.

Whatever the number.

For all involved.

They'll probably be shared out.

After this cross-party treachery.

7000. Enough for the swing votes in at least half a dozen wards and therefore enough to deliver control of the council.

Ethnic status given to Kashmiris | Accrington Observer - menmedia.co.uk

'HYNDBURN'S Kashmiri community is to be officially recognised as a separate ethnic group by its local council.
Of the 6,000 people in Hyndburn who would class themselves as Asian, 70 per cent would prefer to be known as Kashmiri.

Manager of the Scaitliffe Community Centre in Accrington, Munsif Dad said: "We hope that recognition will mean....'

Votes, Cllr. Dad?

Does it mean votes?

Equality and Diversity in Hyndburn

'At Hyndburn Borough Council, we are committed to ensuring all individuals and groups are treated with respect and valued equally.'


Rubbish.

I don't feel my rights have been respected.

I most certainly do not support ANY side in the conflict in Kashmir.

There's been too human rights violations committed by all the factions involved, for me to want to give my backing to anyone.

I would like to be respected enough that you reinstate the benches outside the Market Hall, so I, and other people who may need a place to sit, can do so.

I do think you have a problem with one particular word in your mission statement.

That word being 'all', when referring to the people of Hyndburn.

Your actions are divisive, not inclusive.

That's not respectful to anyone.

Equality and diversity

It's now being reported throughout the world, the news of what our councillor's did on our behalf last Thurday evening.

Google search 'Hyndburn Kashmir'.

See the evidence for yourself.

I have often thought that councillors from the Asian community are assigned, so that there are representatives on both sides of the political divide, I honestly think that if there was a liberal presence on the council there would be a liberal Asian councillor too, or am I just being over cynical

[Less]

Is this some sort of twinning event that has occured?
I suppose it could be worse, if for example we had twinned with Jamaica just imagine the amount of our money wasted as all our Councillors volunteer to go on, 'Fact finding jollies'?
I don't think many of them will be in too much of a rush to do a tour of duty around this place.

Just checked some of this stuff out ...

Can't figure out what is going on over in the UK

Somehow don't think this is what Lloyd George meant when he talked about a "Land fit for heroes" ... more like a land fit for ethnic special interest groups, politically correct morons, and deaf, corrupt politicians

Oh, and assholes

[garinda]

I'm so genuinely disgusted, not only that even one minute of council time was wasted discussing this non-local matter, that I've emailed a link to one of the news agencies carrying this story, to all the major newspapers in the two countries involved, Pakistan...and India.

As well as sending them a link to the story, I've also stated that as one of the 76,221 residents of Hyndburn who 'don't identify themselves as Kashmiri', I most certainly do not support Hyndburn Borough Council voting to support a resolution backing Kashmiri self-determination.

I made it perfectly clear this action was not carried out in my name, and I condemn the atrocities all factions in this conflict have carried out.

You never know, perhaps my email might be passed to a journalist at the Times of India, who understanding the concept of balance, gets on the blower to H.B.C., and asks them their side of the story.

Hope so.
