Missing person

[Gordon Booth]

I'm surprised anyone is surprised!
As an opposition councillor with no real power Accyweb was an ideal launching pad for secondary attacks on the party in power. The natives on here,while not all friendly were at least not openly hostile, almost united in their hostility towards his enemy. Also he must have felt safe operating from here knowing the enemy wouldn't dare show up on here, never mind use it to attack him or his party.
Once his party took the power, he suddenly became accountable and the natives began to be more demanding. In the last two days he posted,21 times I believe, 14 of those posts appear to be fighting off hostiles. Be fair, what would you do if you were him- I'd make a strategic withdrawal as he appears to have done.
Don't be surprised, don't be sad! He's now a politician with power- a totally different animal.

Wanting n answer about this Kashmiri thing thats been past is hardly browbeating by any stretch, to my mind its a major error n perfectly reasonable to want a response from any of em that post on here, but you see it your way MargaretR, yeh usually do.

Perhaps if a conspiracy of silence is mooted she may join her voice with the others who await answers....

I see no conspiracy, silent or otherwise.

The people who are urging councillors to explain their actions, are the ones who still have faith in democracy, and don't like to see it abused.

Democracy is an illusion - it only provides Hobsons Choice - so I don't choose.

That is why councillors explanations, if ever forthcoming, will not solve anything.

My comment was a quip M, am that way out this evening ...they are all a bunch of cowards when it comes to justifying some of the ridiculous things they ascribe too. Their explanations will only be an attempt to cover over the traces anyway....

It amuses me.

Then again I never enjoyed being preached to.

Especially by uninspiring dogmatists.

We survived pre-May, with only two posts being made by the then controlling party.

If there's not another post made by any politican, I'm sure we'll manage to survive again.

Oh i agree,still its funny how "Transparency" N "Accountability" seems to go out the window,when power raises its ugly head.

I'm sure there's a quote waiting to be given, by someone saying that would never happen, if they were in a position of power, but I honestly can't be bothered to wade through a whole load of crap, to find it.

I have little faith in democracy, as anyone who knows me well enough will testify, but that does not mean i can't abhor a decision that supports atrocities, n say nothing at all about it. i aint heard you condemn it?

I don't know enough about the Kashmiri situation to comment.
I don't neccessarily believe the reports coming from either side.
The only way to really know is be there

To seem to take sides is unwise - but if councillors were wise they wouldn't be councillors

The fact "Both" sides commit em is beyond doubt to me, as to who is worst i wouldn't hazard a guess, if councillors support one side or the other personally,fine thats up to them, its when they support it in our name i get the hump. unwise is a polite way to put it, i say ruddy stupid.

If you don't vote for any of them, nothing is 'done in your name'.
Voting gives your consent for them to be stupid or otherwise.

 

[mobertol]

Would anyone vote for them if they said - we are going to stick our noses in a massive wasps nest which is way out of our jurisdiction...!?

Whether you vote for them or not, if you pay just one penny, of any sort of tax, which funds governments, then things are done in your name every single day.

If people chose to ignore this fact, that is up to them.

Just as others are allowed to state that they don't support what's being done by a government body.

What a load of crap, anyone paying council tax or owt locally, then its done in our name, if the motion says hyndburn supports. then as far as i'm concerned its done in my name.

What I'm interested to know is when did Kashmir become a ward on Hyndburn CouncilMust have passed me by in the night

Seemingly when the "Makeup" of the council changed?

They want to change the makeup again its not covering all the blemishes
