Well you are entitled to your view and you can have a view because we live in a democracy thank god.

Should the motley crew get elected a few months down the line ........................god help us. And he can,t or couldn,t for obvious reasons if you think about it.

First they came for the Trades Unionists for goodness sake.....................

14.2% was what about 40 people max, have you seen how few vote at these elections and that is why parties like the BNP get seats.

Its everyones apathy that allows minorities to dictate,always has and always will until people realize what is important and make the effort to try and change things for the better, theirs plenty who want to make things worse.

The greed of Brown in taxing the Pension schemes started it all,as the more affluent started investing in property instead of putting it into their pension pot.As a result we have a glut of property in Leigh bought by out of towners as an investment and so we now have loads of terraces being rented out to non UK residents, and the land lords being paid every month a lovely cheque that has no risk as its coming from us the tax payer.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

I think I can safely say that we don't want them in our town - 14.2%? That's nowt.

I bet I could round up 14.2% to vote for Darren Abrams as coach of the decade! :shock:

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

If you live where my mum and dad live (Edale Road off Manchester Road near Butts Bridge) it's classed as Worsley :shock:

I told them when I lived at my mum and dads that I wouldn't vote until they changed the boundaries.
