Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

How can Hackney be considered to be a one party council when the Tories, Lib Dems amd the Greens have councillors? Its true we have a big majority but that is not the same as being a one party council.

For the record there are 9 Tories, 1 Green, 3 Lib Dems and 44 Labour (including myself). Correction there are 8 Tories. Their Leader Eric Ollernshaw has resigned to pursue his ambition of becoming an MP up north. So there will be a by election in Springfield ward on December 20. Although the Tories have on paper a comfortable majority strange things can happen in unecessary by elections.

44 v 13, seems pretty one party to me, i did say there was about 10 opposition councillors, i was only slightly out, labour have over 77% of the councillors

Obviously the electorate are too blame for voting in so many Labour councillors.

Why dont you point out that it is Hackneys Tories and Lib Dems who have been found guilty in court of electoral fraud? Not Labour. So serious was the Tories and Lib Dems electoral fraud that a councillor from each of these parties were sentenced to jail.

not labour as of yet... shouldnt' that be...

barry you know and i know and indeed most of hackney knows of the level of funding and monies which comes into hackney which for some strange reason doesn't end up benifiting directly or indirectly the borough of hackney but which does conversely seem to benifit both labour and tory concillors in the council...

this isn't room on this board to go into it but please cut the bollocks propaganda bollocks of pipes regime it's as rotten to the core as the entire labour party in hackney is... ie incredably....

least we mention some of the bed fellows which hackney council have been happy to work along side or the manner in which people have been treated who dared whistle blow or stand against the council...

hackney council is guilty of utterly ignoring it's electorate and doign precisely what it needs to to maintain itself at the cost of the entire borough. sadly the utter shower which is the council has a self interts and keeping ones jobs in mind and are more than happy to cover each others arses in order to stop the wholesale revellation which would expouse and incriminate all of the councillors...

btw this isn't the place for your hacnkey is great rhetoric you have your own council web site for that dearie...
 
Swimming in Kings hall when I was last there was like swimming in human soup. Water too hot, too much chlorine and lots of floating bits...:(

Perhaps we should all go and keep a look-out for floating things? One swims while the others surround her with sticks?

It's been open for decades. That's the problem, I believe...

Maybe, but I thought the problem was that Hackney council are more interested in paying Greenwich Lesiure than in having swimming facilities

Following a serious fire at the Kings Hall Leisure centre, the building remains closed while Fire Service and Police investigations continue into the cause of the blaze.

Kings Hall Leisure Centre also closed over the Christmas Period – due to steam leaks from the boiler which it is said brought down false ceilings and got into the electrics of the heating system. The staff at the centre report to users that there are limited cleaning materials at the centre, and some swimmers have complained about the "milkiness" of the water.

&c.. &c.. All the while Greenwich were still pocketing a tidy sum, despite there being no swimming facilities in Hackney!

I note that you are unable to provide any evidence of any wrongdoing. If you have any evidence you should post it here.

no that's presxcisely what i would never do ... see posting evidence of wrong doign on a privately funded webstie such as this would see the site wreaked in mere seconds not only that but also see that it would be then claimed at any subisquent criminal trial that this information was in admissable as already in the public domain.

but what a good dog for towing the party line... what a good dog...
 
The one good thing about King's Hall is that it's so shitty that nobody actually goes there... which does at least mean that if you are brave enough to take a dip there (which I have been on occasion) you don't generally have to share the pool with more than a handful of others... even on a Saturday afternoon.

What you actually mean is that you have no evidence of corruption or vote rigging.

Didn't go swimming. I know, I know :rolleyes: Was knackered after getting pished at footie on Weds.

Anyway. A mounted cop and a hoolie van at the kebab place near the Pembury Tavern on Amhurst Road yesterday evening, about 6.30pm. And another hoolie van at the bottom of Lower Clapton Road.

Where are the mounted cops based? :confused:
