POPSBent Labour all over the show.
I don't often publish anything derogatory, but after listening to Eddie Izzard, supposed comedian, waxing on about the wonderful Labour Party, let me add my pennyworth. If there is a hell on Earth, Labour has put us through it in the past decade. The Blackpool South Arse Licker extraordinary, MP Gordon Marsden, has already started campaigning and is using Parliamentary funds to circulate his constituents with a letter containing nothing but a whitewash of the facts to suit Labour hounds. The letters are illegal as they come out of Parliamentary funds and cannot be used for electioneering. Will Gordon be taken to task let alone charge with improper use of funds? NO. Even though he is well aware of the Misfeasance in Public Office laws and has just ignored them. Just like so many politicians... And Labour supporters wil keep voting for them because of DOGMA and becausethey have not the brains or the will to tell their corrupt masters they are wrong. Happy New Year

POPSBirds first, not your pesky moggie. It will never be enforced. Blackpool Council withdrew the mandate for Fishers Field in South Shore where it was said to have been left for children to play football - if there are any Americans reading this, that is the gentlemans game played by overpaid children, sorry soccer. I bumped into a former professional footballer who was taking his little boy and their dog on the field for exercise. Well not really! The child would get his exercise and the dog would have a shit. Okay, perhaps picked up by the intelligent soccer player. But the Parvo Virus cannot be picked up in a plassie bag!!! There are few dog owners who actually carry cleaning fluid along with all the accessories for cleaning up after their pets. Unfortunately they are so few, and the irrepsonsible so many.

POPSHumbled she ought to be Other sites of local interest have realised that Mssrs Humble is not the angel her Labour supporters make her out to be. She is in fact dangerous. The reasons? Too numerous to count, but I will give you one. 1 It is the responsibility and duty of a local MP to hold the Executive to account. Now look at her voting record. With this corrupt, inept legislative assembly probable the worst in British political history, she has never once voted against the plethora of bad law, rules and regulations pouring out of Westminster. If she is not doing her job, then what the f**k is she doing taking her £67k plus expenses plus perks plus plus plus for none representation of her electorates problems?

POPSHey diddle didlle - they're still on the fiddle Yet the Blackpool Labour stalwart has no problems of getting all the freebies he is entitled to, under his own rules, whilst former public servants drift away in silence. To add insult to injury, a former labour government removed the safety net of pension, paid for by his own donations, by changing the rules by which serviceman's pensions were calculated DOWNWARDS. To gain a full pension pre 1975 Social Security and Pensions Act one had to complete a full 22 years of the 22 year contract, which only came into force once you are eighteen years of age. That meant all those who gained medals before their 18th birthdays got NOWT, NOTHING, ZILTS, KISS YOU POLITICIANS FAT ARSE for service served and lives lost. Then all contributions to your own pension was arbitrarily cut from a 22 full part to 36. That is to say that if you did 21 years six months, instead of getting 21.5 of 22, ie, almost a full pension once your entitlement kicked in, you got 21.5 of a 36 full part. A third of your cont

POPSWealth on Health The report by healthcare analysts Dr Foster found that 12 trusts are putting patients at serious risk because of life-threatening errors and 'systemic' safety failings - even though eight of them were praised as 'good' or 'excellent' by the Care Quality Commission health watchdog only last month. It also found that 27 trusts - a fifth of the total - have unusually high death rates - equating to almost 5,000 excess deaths. More than half of the 27 are supposedly elite foundation trusts. The joint-tenth-worst, Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre, is said by Dr Foster to have a death rate 15 per cent higher than the national average. Yet its chief executive, Julian Hartley, saw his pay rise by 32 per cent from £125,000 to £165,000 when his trust attained foundation status in December 2007. He has now left to join South Manchester, another of the least-safe trusts on the list.

POPSBlackpool Conservatives accused. The sweet smell of hypocrisy wafts round Blackpool like a ruptured effluent pipe out into the Irish Sea. For years the public have ignored the murmurings of ‘irregularity’ in local politics because not a single body appeared to have the stomach or authority to confront dubious activities. The imagination with which politicians interpret rules to suit themselves is farcical and responsible for the moral cesspit that governs public perception. Where are simple ethics of Right and Wrong? Definitely not in Westminster and the country might say, not in many council offices. It is this perception that prevents perfectly decent people from entering politics and playing an active role in society. When Steve Flanigan resigned as Treasurer of the Blackpool South Conservatives, there was not a murmur. The fact that a leading councillor had received donations of £250 from the late George Thompson of the Pleasure Beach and had chosen not to immediately declare it to the Treasurer is and was

POPSTessa Jowell's rich, corrupt husband What is better for the nation, this corrupt man with his complicity spouse, or a wanker who charges the nation for his porn whilst his wife walks around with a police escort and anti-stab jacket? That's Labour all over. Labour in Ashton in Makersfield willl be losing one of the most inept, lazy self promotional MP's in Lancashire and then have no say on his replacement. That's Labour. Blackpool MP Gordon Marden has not a word of encouragement for the family of Andy Miller who died in rge hands of a bailiff as he was demanding payment for a challenged fine for speeding. The evidence of They Work for You shows where Gay Gordon's priorities lie, and it appears not to be in the interest of the ordinary English voter.

POPSPerfect Blackpool politics Prospective MP Bell of the Conservative Party was unavailable for comment; as he has on every issue of worth ofr several decades. Peter Callous continues to irritated pensioners whilst his colleagues in Council travel First Class to meeting they probably do not need to attend, and others to countries they need not visit. Not that the Labour dross are any better. Their prostate glands would be fine if they were left for their natural functions.

POPSBritish injustice continues Member of Parliament for blackpool promised to resist the American extradition of this man, then promptly fell into his cowardly shell as this immoral and illegal government put the pressure on. you want Brits to fight your illegal wars but you are not prepared to fight for our legitimate rights. Your silence, Gordon Marsden, on the Andy Miller situation only emphisise the fact that you are unfit to represent anyone except your odd - queer (sic) - associates.

POPSModel killing. His mother was a police officer and has been cleared of attempting to pervert the course of justice. What is the fascination for a young white woman to have a black man in her bed, let alone in her life? I retell the tale of a 15 year old boy who was viciously attacked by a gang on Blackpool promenade. He was but the third of a procession of victims who was attacked with lead pipes and heavy glass pint pots. Had that attack occurred today the victim would be charged with a racist outburst because he kept ranting "he's dead the Black bastard" as the surgeon put 60 plus stitches and a dozen clips in the lacerated face. Even to this day he gets cold sweats whenever a gang appears with a peroxide pussy and a gorilla swapping phlegm. Not fear for himself, but with the knowledge that he cannot say, do or seem to do anything because the law prohibits truth and history. Is this the legacy the future holds for the English? No room for English men; they are in foreign parts defending cor

POPSBlackpool newspaper's terribly poor reporting Army representatives said a lone bugler played The Last Post and six gunmen fired three symbolic shots in a touching graveside ceremony at Park Cemetery in Lytham as the family, mum Diane, step-dad Malcolm, Daniel, and auntie Rosalyn said their final goodbye. "I'm a friend of Jed and his son. This was a real ceremony by the Army with a firing party and Full Honours and not gunmen from the IRA. If you want the respect of we professionals give the respect by reporting accurately and with dignity."

POPSCheap fares? Not in Blackpool? Councillor Ian Fowler has to travel first class by train because he cannot tell any interloper to get out of his seat. Something fishy about this former sailor? You can complain to him at cllr.ian.fowler@blackpool.gov.uk The lazy sod will not respond to you either.

POPSBlackpool Veteran Major speaks -but never for me. What is Houldsworth a veteran of? Choir services? Bad singing? Idiotic parades? Ignoring the real vets? Self promotion? As a former Gunner, a veteran and a professional soldier, the further the likes of Bell and Houldsworth are away from any organisation for me and my fellow former injured regulars, the better. If you think my ire is not well founded, then perhaps you ought to read the letter sent by Houldsworth to Bell that had a former regular Royal Marine disciplined for telling the truth about Houldsworth and the inept Ex-Services Liaison Committee of Blackpool. Both Bell and Houldsworth should stick to their choirs and leave soldiering to soldiers.

POPSBlackpool Gazette cannot control email debate I have blogged this page not to highlight the BNP but the sad consequence of Blackpool's Gazette not being able to monitor decent and valid debate. All it has taken is one moron with a fat anti-democratic finger to delete pages of contribution from concerned readers. If Guido Fawkes can controlthe thousands of salacious hit he get, why cannot JPres put in place a decent electronic arbiter.

POPSBlackpool Conservatives choice 3. Finally, our elected representatives should demonstrate leadership and refuse to travel First Class. Not only would this result in significant savings it would more importantly acknowledge that they understand the concerns of the electorate regarding public spending and the need to “tighten our belts” something that they seem well able to preach yet unable to practice. At the end of the day what all elected representatives, and I obviously count myself in this number, must acknowledge is that we exist to serve the people that voted for us, they are our true bosses and they are most certainly not here to serve us. Unfortunately, I sometimes feel that this important fact is often forgotten or worse conveniently ignored. I bet he never cleared this piece with Councillor Ian Fowler. And there is a whole group of former regular Royal Marines who would dispute the last statement. As both a Bootneck and a devout Conservative, I find this choice of candidate worrying. Needless to say I

POPSBlackpool's Conservative prospective MP speaks I almost wrote - with forked tongue. Here is a man who refused to allow members of his own organisation, I use the expression very selectively, access to minutes of meetings for which he was secretary. He wanted a member to travel all the way from his home in Exmouth so that minutes could be perused. I don’t know what you would call it, but it is not the actions of a public figure that I would condone. My literary relationships with several MP’s include Tony Benn, Paddy Ashdown and several local councillors. It is only Blackpool’s Conservatives who fail the manners test as it is only recently that they have discovered the power of electronic communication. If Blackpool RMA members were denied access to Minutes because Mr Bell would not publish them on Email, what trust can an electorate make of his assertions that his political party will be more forthcoming with them, the electorate? I have and will publish in full the letter from this member requesting access to the minutes a

POPSD-Day veteran not going back to the beaches First the Vets were being subsidised by the Heroes Return Charity, costs to cover a carer and one immediate family relative. Then a Blackpool Councillor Julian Mineur – sorry folk I ain’t making this up - gets involved and it all turns to doggee poo. The last time I saw Councillor Manure in action was in Rhyl where he was insulting a rather eloquent, distinguished former Women’s Army veteran who promised if that if he called her girlie once more she would smack his face. She was prevented from assaulting him by a former Royal Marine who was only too willing to do the lady’s bidding. The Councillor was trying to sell the Veterans Badge to the veteran and was getting a hostile reception along with the Labour MP for North Wales. It is amazing how these political types do not understand community or service unless it is wrapped in a wonder financial package for themselves. Expenses! Don’t mention expenses! Not only will some of the vets not be going, but Association heads with no affil

POPSI did nothing wrong This is a person with some responsibility for Veteran Affairs. Not in my name. It is muted amongst veterans that she is obstructive to their ultimate desires which are equity and representation. Veterans need and deserve a Khrushchev, someone who will bang the table and say NO! No! No! That backhander, £10,000, is more than is being offering to injured soldiers.

POPSPensioner bus pass doubts This is in Scotland. In Blackpool there is not doubt. If Peter Callow had his way he would abolish it today. That £15K that's fifteen thousand pounds stirling - he and his wife claimed for expenses would go a long way to easing disabled riders and pensioners dilemmas.
