I've honestly no idea. Perhaps they were removed before I saw them.

I'm afraid you really can't have it both ways.

Either Cllr. Britcliffe doesn't post on here at all, for whatever reasons, too busy, it's too abusive for him, etc., or he does use this forum.

The fact is he has joined Accy Web this year, and posted two posts.

You're on to a loser with this unhinged argument.

Ya cashy but when I joined it was the norm to use a screen name, in fact I think there were only two people used their full names which were the two Margaret's 4 years ago. I did toy with the idea of changing to my own name but I don't think there is any body on here that doesn't know that jaysay is John Farrer, so I didn't bother, in fact nobody would believe that jaysay as me, they though It was PB. On the morning after Gayle stood against Peter, when I logged on to AW there was a PM from Gayle saying congratulations Peter, which I'm sure she will verify if she reads this post, I had to inform her of her mistaken identity

It was never my intention to con anybody I am more than happy for people to know that I'm a local Councillor. It's all about being accountable.

I don't think it would do the leader of the Council any harm to explain to members of Accy Web what he's up to every now and them.

He has, twice this year.

Once in the first person, and the other most oddly written in the third person.

Can't be that busy, or too afraid of any stick he might come in for on here, as Jaysay keeps trying to have us believe, otherwise he wouldn't have joined up, and posted.

He does that in the Accrington Observer for everybody to see not just the few members on here, and if you didn't set out to deceive why did you not sign in under Bernard Dawson at first place, you soon begged to change once you'd been rumbled

Not that I particularly enjoy constantly talking about Peter Britcliffe, I have enough talking on his psychic hotline. Nevertheless.. as I said in that long, long thread about him before he even registered here I see no reason why he should come on in the first place. I predicted that if he did he'd just get insult after insult from individuals who are not interested in ringing him up or going to see him face to face for genuine issues. When he did come on he got exactly that. He barely received debate or feedback - just personal insults. Now whether it was a good idea to come on with a pretentious name, I'd suggest not. It however does not really deserve the backlash it got, a gentle hint would have been a much better way of ensuring he stay apart of our community, which is after all what you all want right, for him to stay apart of our community so you can discuss things with him. Must of course point out that if you had anything important to discuss you could e-mail or phone him. I've had a much better response from him than I have from Graham Jones and Bernard Dawson. One refused to give me a Labour budget figure missing from council minutes that I needed for my research project, the other declined to respond. I got a brilliant response from Malcolm Prichard however.

Blimey, his ego must be more fragile than an orchid.

It's hard to fathom we are talking about the same Cllr. Britcliffe, who it was reported in the press called a fellow councillor a 'silly cow' at a public meeting.

Perhaps that's why he's twice been rejected by the people of Hyndburn, when he's stood in the General Election.

The good people of Hyndburn must be worried his delicate consititution wouldn't be up to the cut and thrust of life in Westminster.

Bless him.

Me not responding to Emails Andrew is nothing new, just ask a few Council Officers. It wasn't personal, I remember the Email. I take it that Malcolm found you the information you were after.

I should have given you the benefit of the doubt in the post for not responding sorry Bernard. My main gripe was that Mr Jones had point blank refused.

Rather than being too afraid of any slings and arrows that might come his way on here, and which are sadly just part and parcel of life in public office, perhap he's just not over confident in impressing us, and fears he is more likely to make us smirk.

Let's examine the evidence.

Cllr. Britcliffe made this post, in April of this year. Written in the third person, which oddly makes it sound as if he dictated it.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...tml#post701192

Then there was his last post to date, made in March of this year, made by TheLeadersOfficeHBC. Which all sounds very grand, and like he is offically proclaiming to us the people, via Accy Web.

In this post he forgot about where commas and full stops go, when writing out those confusingly big figures. Which is a little worrying, when millions sudenly disappear, and become thousands.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...tml#post691676

The only other evidence of his prowess with a keyboard comes from the details supplied to the B.B.C. for his C.V., when he stood in the 2001 General Election, here in 'Accriwoton/Hywdburn' (sic).

BBC NEWS | VOTE 2001 | CANDIDATES

So perhaps if you all promise to treat him with kid gloves, he might feel able to share his views with us once again here on Accy Web.

As he's declared his interest in standing for Parliament yet again, in the next General Election, it would be a great pity if whoever does become our next M.P. doesn't feel able to communicate freely with the people of Hyndburn, by using this forum, like Greg Pope, the outgoing M.P., felt competent enough to do.

Anymore public howlers from him would purely be just a bonus.
