THE FEAR OF GOD

Our progress must be frightening the Labour group on Wigan Metro judging by the letter below which was forwarded to me by Richard Bean of the Wigan Evening Post asking for my comments. I have to commend Mr Ellis for his democratic actions in raising this perversion of democracy, even though there may be an ulterior motive for his actions as he represents the Community Action Party still led I believe by ex Councillor Franzen (aka "the horrible")
This party contains some good people albeit somewhat devoid of meaty political beliefs but good at maintaining flower beds, bus shelters and bringing complaints about litter and dog mess to the authorities.
These functions are useful in their own way but are hardly relevant in the larger sphere of things. However I still salute Mr Ellis for his democratic act in writing the letter, unlike his leader ("the horrible") who associates with claw hammer wielding thugs.
I responded as follows.
Dear Mr Bean,
I had not heard about this but I congratulate Mr Ellis on his stand for democracy and the proper use of council facilities and resources.
I understand and am pleased about the Labour group's concern over our progress. They have only themselves to blame for their incompetence and betrayal of the Wigan people.. The Tories and Lib Dems are no better and as we get our message more widely distributed (in spite of the efforts of your paper) our support is increasing exponentially.
In a democratic society ALL views are of equal validity, but for the Labour group to take advantage of their majority to, as Mr Ellis says use facilities, some of which we have contributed to in our council taxes is undemocratic.
If they want to campaign they should pay for it, we pay for ours. After all they have enough foreign millionaires to support their Labour and Tory parties to render the use of council resources unnecessary and indeed theft.
I would advise them to take care as the boot could soon be on the other foot if the new enquiries about our party are anything to go by and the loony Left (and Right)could reap the rewards of their misrule.
Yours sincerely,
For the Labour group on the council to be considering holding special meetings to counter our growth shows how far we have come in only a few years.
The underhand tactics they employ to counter our threat we have become accustomed to, but we must be wary as with a wounded bear they could lash out in unpredictable ways to prevent themselves being anhilated. We know the police and union bosses (not the rank and file members)are using these undemocratic tactics against us as is the Tory sponsored UAF but we are aware of them and believe in all societies the will of the people eventually prevails.
It will be interesting to see if my letter is published and if so, edited.

Town Apathy in Mayor Vote

On the 26th September on this very blog I wrote an entry titled:

A Leader or An Elected Mayor.........Have Your Say (see archive)

On the the 2nd November the Wigantoday.net wrote an article with regards to our towns apathy in relation to the opportunity for the people of Wigan Borough to have their say on the concept of having a leader or an elected mayor.

The Wigantoday.net article indicates that only 0.051% of the borough's residents who were actually eligible to cast an opinion on the subject bothered to do so! The statistics given where that only 123 overall actually did. Yet, of those 123 who did, 102 of them pitched for an ELECTED MAYOR option (82%) and only 21 going for the 'leader' option. A current on-line poll situated on the above link is at 73% for an elected mayor and 27% against.

Many are now up in arms at the way this consultation was actually conducted, and rightly so! Although they claim the Borough Life magazine went out to 139,000 Wigan homes and
others articles were carried in the Evening Post and sister titles, the Wigan Observer plus the Wigan/Leigh Reporters.
The consultation was also highlighted on the council's website, with a link to a dedicated electronic survey form.

Someone on the comments section on the Wigantoday.net article actually stated that they found out about this issue only by logging on to the Wigan Patriots Blog! Needless to say the comment was soon deleted!

You may have also noted that if you have only just followed the link to my original post and then subsequently tried to follow the link to A Leader or an Elected Mayor....Have Your Say Here:

I am hoping to post some feedback from the Council Meeting last night regarding this issue and will post accordingly!

BLOGGER ARRESTED

.
A South African blogger was arrested today. So, The ANC is taking a leaf out of the Chinese book eh?

Wont be long before the EU (our government now, remember - Westminster is little more than a glorified county council) takes a leaf out of that same book.

Uhuru Guru

Some reckon it was the publishing of those photos of S. African black murders of whites that did it - gives the lie to that 'Rainbow Nation' fraud that they use to attract outside investment, and used to lure the 2010 World Cup tournament to S. Africa. Those photos do have a tendency to put people off. They can deny words, and further use words to lie - photos are a different matter.

Provided the Western media don't suppress news, the crime against foreigners during the 2010 World Cup ought to make the true nature of S. African black rule quite clear.
