Leader of HBC is now a full time job, its a business and should be run as such, when officers are on telephone number salaries, £20 grand for the Leader is still low in comparison. The reason g.jones opposed it, is that if he was leader, he still has a full time job, and thats a good reason he shouldn't even be given the chance.

I presume Peter Britcliffe knew what the allowances were when he stood for the council, and subsequently became leader of the council?
I stand by what I said, it must be great to vote to give yourself a 20% increase.
Others, such as nurses and firemen, must look in awe as they have to settle for near inflation pay rises.

The fact was wrong, the rudeness was your remarks about Graham Jones.
Oh, hang on. It's the rest of us who make vile attacks on here, towards Peter Britcliffe, as you said in your letter to the press.
I've never seen such a blatent case of the pot calling the kettle black.

I'm no one's puppet.
I've never spoken to the man, nor am I a member of any political party, and am in the enviable position to be able to post what I actually think, rather than use this forum, ot the letters page of the local press, to push any political agenda.

Re: Police Probe Vote Rigging Complaints
Its as much pushing a political agenda as you are. Just airing his political views. Or are people who support political parties not allowed to have views? The only reason he is in the party is surely because broadly they represent his viewpoint?

People can post whatever they like, as long as it's accurate. You two, as members of the same political party, me as a partisan bystander.

That was not an attack or rude Rindi it was 100% fact, unlike some of the tripe said about PB on here, what ever I say about g.jones he has the right to reply, but has I said before, when he i losing the argument his toys come out of the pram. I've actually notice that those peope that do slag PB of on here hae never taken up the invitation to call him to his face, not even you

Oh I'm sorry, I must have missed the invitation to meet him face to face. Rest assured whatever I say on here I have no qualms saying to anyone in person.
Perhaps he could invite me to discuss the flower towers, which I was singing his praises about last week, on this very forum.
You say Graham Jones has the right to reply on here, so has Peter Britcliffe, but sadly he doesn't seem to have the inclination to do so.

Er... I hardly think so, as I was criticising Tory policy re:benefit reforms as being too wishy washy, and middle of the road.
On some things I'm more on the side of Attila the Hun, though people seem to convieniently ignore that, when trying to put people in little boxes.
You may well be happy being in your little one party box, l'm more of a free thinker.

He's far to busy looking after his family, running a house, and running the Council

I seem to remember the Welsh Wind Bag saying that Attila the Hun was clumsy tourist
