the debts under Conservative have risen from £11m to £26m

so under labour they were only £11m in debt, oh dear.

My point is that no matter who is in power, they will cock it up. Yes you may improve X but at the cost of Y.

Politics is a case of finding the lesser of two evils. Which one hasn't ballsed up for a while? Let's give labour a try as they haven't had a do for a while.

No let's have the liberals in right across the country because they haven't cocked up the country for a long time.

I dont wish to get in a debate with you Mr Jones as I have neither the time, inclination or facts to do so. You are obviously well versed in how to phrase things and throwing in some sums and percentages will always look better than pure opinion. I have my views, and they are similar to many others'.

And please don't associate me with owd Alky face cos its not nice.

I am fed up with politicians who are in it for themselves. I am sorry if you are offended but I work hard and say it how I see it. I am not bothered if I lose. At least I was honest.

Where do you live Lindsay?

I know it's only a small number of people who've replied but it's interesting that a higher percentage of people in Hyndburn who post on here voted in comparison to the general percentage of people in Hyndburn who voted.

It would have been usefull if you had put voting options for
There was no election in my ward but I would have voted if there was.
and
There was no election in my ward but I would not have voted even if there was.

As usual Neil, you have decided to be critical of Gayle. Why can't you, for once, keep your trap shut.

jambutty · 08-05-2006, 09:29

Those three areas are suburbs of Karachi PILKYBUSDRIVER, so you would expect one of their own to get most votes and with the way that they run their own societies you would also expect a highish turn out. Whether the pressure to vote was just pressure from their religious leaders or also some form of intimidation, we shall never know and I wouldn’t even dream of suggesting any wrongdoing without at least some sort of evidence. This is yet another example of how the chickens are coming home to roost after the British Empire’s colonial days.

Neat move to field a candidate for two of the most likely parties to get in. It almost assures the electorate of getting a person of their choice in.

But biased voting PILKYBUSDRIVER? Nothing wrong in that! Every single vote cast is biased by the person casting it. That’s what voting is all about. You vote for the person you think will represent you the best and your vote is biased towards them.

That is a rather rude and unnecessary reply. With the 2 extra options we would have had a better statistical result thats all. Why don't you read some of my Pro-Gayle posts before you jump to conclusions about me? You are obviously Labour and I would not be surprised if you are/were/wanted to be a Councillor. Why not tell us who you really are instead of hiding behind your nick name on here? At least Gayle, Graham Jones and Bill Greene don't hide who they are.
Posts like yours above don't look very good for the Labour party do they? Not as bad as Councillor Jones swearing at me I suppose. You need to improve your profile not tarnish it with petty name calling etc.

I'm getting a bit fed up with this trying to 'out' people. One of the reasons why people use a pseudonym is for anonymity, quite often because they can then say things that won't p*ss their boss off.

if you are not the real gayle knight and just using her name who are you and what have you done with her

neil only tries to out peopel because he feels that since he was outed everyone else should be although he has trouble with the diffrernces between been outed as a polotician and been outed of the closet

Gayle · 08-05-2006, 12:17

Ah, now that would be telling!
