Re: Balls To Tennis

Here is apost I made on BTT website, here at AiM CF we seem to be getting forgotten.

Lets get a few facts straight at the present moment we have in Ashton and Bryn six CAP councillors, so any complaints by BTT will be primarily aimed at those councillors.
Regardingr stooges, as for myself any member of the Labour party I am aquainted with knows full well they have never had my vote either nationally or locally, yet I am assured they still respect my right to put my cross where ever I choose. In the last local election after 48 years of voting Conservative never missing a chance to exercise my democratic right to vote , I voted CAP. As you will no doubt be aware , the opposition generally do not win an election but the incumbents lose it. Does that make me a CAP stooge, I resent trying to behave civilly labels me a New Labour stooge.
Peter may I be so bold to offer you and your colleagues some advice, with the age of majority at eighteen many of the activist for the skateboard park will be old enough to vote soon. With the turn out at below 30% and yes I will bash New labour here, even with their flawed plans for postal voting. So it will not take many of these young people to make the CAP history. I think you are aware I do not relish a return to a one party town.
So please stop your sniping at these young people, Paul Tushingham at least has tried to be constructive in offering a face to face meeting. I think he foresaw how this website despite the best intentions of the moderator would descend into anarchy.
It is not too late for the CAP as the elected representatives of our town to salvage something from this.
Finally as regards this being a politically backed website, I think all they want is a skateboard facilities in Jubilee Park. When I see the money wasted both Nationally and locally by NEW LABOUR for pities sake back it with every ounce of energy in your body
Best regards to
BBT, CAP, NEW LABOUR

Hi Alan

If you check the posts on the insultingly named "Balls to tennis" website that has been created by a few warped individuals who don't even have the balls to say who they really are and seem pre-occupied with attacking the game of tennis and the Community Action Party then you will see that I have offered to assist in the delivery of skateboarding facilities for the young people of Ashton.

If anyone was really serious about wanting a skateboarding facility for the young people of Ashton then would'nt it be reasonable to assume that they would have contacted me by now?

I have posted my email address and my telephone numbers on the "Balls to tennis" website and so far the only response that I have had is a phone call and two emails from your goodself, of whose sincerity I have no doubt.

Best wishes

Peter

Re: Re: Re: Balls To Tennis

From what I've read on this forum and also what I've read in the local papers these young people only want a small skate park on a derelict part of a tennis court, they don't want to stop anyone playing tennis ???, from my position it looks like you and your CAP people are trying to stop them buy proposing all sorts of alternatives that will never see the light of day, the project has got to start somewhere, never mind joint ventures, bigger and better facilities - I could say "lets built on the moon there's loads of room up there", that's how daft it's become !!!
These young people have obviously seen through this and view the CAP as an obstacle in the path of progress. I think that they have been very astute and simply moved around you and your party.
Well done the guys of BTT they will soon march to victory, you and your CAP people seem like sore losers to me.

Hi

I have not seen much evidence of skateboarders on the BTT website and of the few who have posted at this stage only one or two can be considered genuine.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Balls To Tennis

considered genuine.....considered genuine....considered genuine.....considered genuine....considered genuine......considered genuine...considered genuine...

Oh my Petey boy, or is that Nigella? For you to use the word "genuine" is a joke.....I don't even believe you know the definition of such a word!

BTT!

To The last person to post
If you are Peter Franzen using another computer to post, do you realise that every time you do so, you lose your party votes.
If you are not Peter Franzen then you are behaving no better than he does.
Mind you what odds would be given that it is PF?
