Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
Can’t be doing with Britcliffe, but I don’t see it as being a resignation issue. Calling someone publicly a “silly cow” is just downright rude and shows a lack of self control. The denial of having made the statement is downright childish. All a storm in a tea cup and ****** all to do with the running of Hyndburn as far as I’m concerned.

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
I agree with Bonnyboy don't particularly like Britcliffe, but don't think he should resign.

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
Is there no other evidence?
Has Katex a soiled navy dress, stored away in her wardrobe?
'I did not have sexual relations with that...silly cow.'
It's all too hilarious.
Personally I don't think it's a matter for resignation.
Politican caught out telling lies, suprise, suprise.
It would have been more newsworthy if he'd have had the balls to admit saying it.
It's quite frightening that the leader of our council has such a bad short term memory.
Oh well, perhaps he'll also 'forget' to stand at the next election...fingers crossed.

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
Is this story offically now called Cowgate, or Cow and Gate?

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
Remember the Profumo affair - he had to resign because he lied - not for his indiscretions

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
If resignation was a prerequisite for telling lies then the Houses of Parliament would be empty

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
He was only stating his opinion of the allegedly insane lady with bovine attributes. That some disagree with him is only part and parcel of politics and no reason for him to resign.

Re: "Silly Cow" Poll
He's entitled to his opinion. It's the lying about it and then getting other people to lie about it which doesn't sit well with me. We have indeed let our standards slip if we accept lying to be the norm. What is the point of any politician saying anything if lying is accepted as normal? Why should we ever believe anything any politician says ever about anything?
I do think the very least he should do is apologise - not for calling her a stupid childish name, but for then not having the guts to admit that he did.
