Hyndburn Labour leader to boycott meetings
12:30pm Thursday 30th July 2009
A ROW has broken out over the new bodies set up to govern areas across a borough.
The dispute was revealed at Hyndburn Borough Council’s meeting of the full council, where Labour leader Coun Graham Jones pledged to boycott new bodies set up by the council.
He claims the decision to replace five area councils across the borough has caused ‘chaos and confusion’.
The decision in March saw area councils in Peel and Barnfield, Rishton, Clayton and Altham, Spring Hill and Central Accrington, Church and West Accrington merged with Neighbourhood Management Boards, set up to oversee large scale demolition areas.
He was in turn accused of ‘letting down the residents of Peel and Barnfield’ by Independent Coun Malcolm Pritchard, who also claimed that Coun Jones had sent ‘misleading emails’ to him claiming that the meetings were cancelled.
Coun Pritchard said: “I’ve had emails and text messages saying the meetings were cancelled and not to go and I’ve reported it to the Standards Board.
“If Coun Jones wants to boycott them that’s up to him.
"However, he is letting the people of Peel Ward down. He’s been a very good councillor for this area and needs to carry on with the work he’s started.”
After the meeting Coun Jones said: “Although the council has tried to get rid of them, the chair and vice chair of Peel and Barnfield area councils who are both residents, have pledged to carry on.
“When I sent out messages, I was not talking about the new boards but ones the residents want and are participating in.
“The duplication of bodies is causing a lot of confusion.
"The council doesn’t like the fact that residents can run their own affairs and has set up a new body in a very jack-boot fashion in a bid to force them out.
“I will not be attending any meetings of the new body because I will go where the residents will go and I’m not going to two seperate meetings.”

If the decision has been passed then go with it or try and get some of your Labour buddies back in and then change the decision.
He is being so childish but then again what's new about that.

The Government fund it. The Council control the contracts. The Council have changed the contracts to 1. prevent residents chairing 2. prevent me chairing 3. prevent anyone they don't like chairing the Board 4. to vet future residents.
So residents have decided to carry on resulting in a resident NM Board and Council NM Board. The residents want me to stay with the original NM (resident) Board.
It is a mess caused by Councillor Britcliffe and Pritchard who are power mad and will stop at nothing whatever the cost in short.
It is why I won against the odds Accrington South by 500 votes. People do not want to vote for disgusting politicians.

Graham if there is anything I can do please let me know :
lifeinthemix22@yahoo

Britcliffe does what Kevin Horkin tells hime to do.
Kevin Horkin was the late Frederick Skinner's no2, he was the benificiary of Skinners satanic coven.
Pritchard I exposed as a satanic operative some years ago, he resigned and placed his daughter up for election, then got back in as an independant.
This group are Freemasons, many taking orders from commander O Shea.
We need to remove :
Pritchard 1 & 2
Britcliffe
Griffiths
Clarke
Dobson
Parkins
and one or two of the Muslim councillors before we stand any chance of removing control of our council from the Freemasons.
there are others too, but that is for another time.
But more than that, the fact that Hyndburn council control only one third of the counci, which is a falsehood in itself, because the Chief Executive and his scapegoat tier of control, Legal and democratic services, headed by Jane Ellis, have the councils third under their command, and because of their partnership with the other two thirds control :
Barnfield Construction and Stuart Nevison
we have the Nelson Freemasonic organisation in full control of our council, for the Bradford based satanic organisation :
The Golden Dawn.
This is the central core of satanic manipulation over not just Hyndburn, but Burnley, Blackburn and all surrounding areas. They have a big grouping in and around Pendle and Sabden, I have suffered at the hands of this network for many years, I know who they are and what they control.
You can study my full six year exposure of this satanic network here :

I think it time we together move against these psycopaths who act not for the people, but big corporate interests, which means
fascism.
I have the information, do you the people and councillors have the courage?

Many may be surprised at the fact I label Muslim councillors as connected to Freemasonry, but it is a fact.
The Akash takeaway, and the Sha jan are connected to Freemansonry via many secret Islamic networks such as :
The Ashashine
Druzzers
Muslim Council of Great Britain
Fatimites
Mystic Shrine hence the initiation rite once the Masonic third degree is accomplished, the master mason can then opt to becom a 'shriner', the Fez hat being symbolic of this degree.
So many Muslims are connected to the secret society networks and they are the ones with power and wealth.
I carried out work on the Sha Jan in the 1990's and the owner was using his resteraunt to employ illegal immigrants while they waited for their false documents to come through.
I lost fingers when I came across a Blackburn black magician living at 9 Rydal road Little Harwood, he is from Turkey originally, then from Leicster, can you remember the headless burning body atop the Harwood common? Well this is the chap.
much to learn people...

The Council have set up a rival NM Board. The original is resident led. So now there are two. The resident one has been going for 4 years and the Council one is not only there to wreck the resident one. (not to do anything positive).
No-one is boycotting NMB. Residents and Councilors are just not prepared top endorse something that is destructive and constructive.
UNHAPPY: Coun Graham Jones
