No they're not, Fisher was down as conservative in our area and to be honest, I've never seen or heard of him.

I'm not trying to be pedantic lettie, but Fisher was a candidate not a councillor your councillors are Bernard Dawson, and Graham Jones both Labour, and you did say councillors in your original post

This is what get's Councillors a bad name because if Conservatives are doing it, then people believe I and my colleagues are doing it.
Finally, anyone with an open mind who has the opportunity to judge Labour Councillors and Tory Councillors in Hyndburn for themselves (at a meeting for eg.) comes away suddenly realising the degree to which Labour Councillors are honest and genuine, and the awe at how rotten most Conservatives are. I ask people to see for themselves and make their own mind up.

Lets go for some simple questions:
1. What date do you source the 'most expensive council' stuff in the leaflets?
2. What date was the figure in the telegraph?
3. Do you understand why the figure itself is flawed because of the way its worked out? I'd prefer a response that dealt with the issue not a "Well its in the telegraph" escape goat.
I am absolutely open to persuasion, I just want a satisfactory answer.

Of course you're being pedantic Jaysay, but I will let you off. I meant candidate but unfortunately, as my original post was first thing this morning, and I lose the ability to think after a 12 hour night shift, I got my words fuddled..

As long as that's straight.
You can attack people, and if you think anyone elses does the same thing, you'll attack them back.
It's nice to see the rules of the playground are alive and well.
