Posh states:-
once wrote a letter to The Visitor in response to one from a bloke slagging off then council leader Ian Barker. Now Ian isn't perfect (nobody is) but basically he's an honourable and decent person with good intentions and a burning desire to improve the community in which he lives. The person who wrote the letter made largely personal and unjustifiable attacks on him, which I found grossly offensive. I rarely write letters to the paper but I thought I'd stand up for Ian on a purely personal and non-political level.
Two days after publication Rachel got two phone calls, which the person hung up on. Then I answered one and the person on the end went, "first they lie to you, then they attack you and then destroy you" (or something similar). More calls followed after he'd managed to track me down, scare the missus and verabally abuse me over the phone. This person still writes to the paper occassionally.
Reading The Truth's post (and what an offensive name that is) there is something strangely reminiscent in the tone, personal stuff and an over-arching belief in their self-righteousness. I'm not saying it is them - far from it - just seems like the kind of thing I've had to deal with when trying to progress anything in Morecambe. Part of the reason I don't bother too much these days.
I dont know were you are coming from with this Posh and nor does my soulmate, family, friends or associates can understand what its got to do with the title on this thread. iIam being pressed now by the schoolyard bully here to address your question. There appears to be a bit of a cult here!
A good friend of mine could tell you alot about Councillor Ian Barker, the former leader of the Cabinet, who thanx to the democratic process was voted out by the Bulk ward constituency.
If you want to start a discussion on his track record could I suggest that you start another thread otherwise we'll lose the focus of the purpose of this thread, to identify what the majority want to see in the Central Prom redevelopment proposals. I'm sure Urban Splash would like to read this as it forms an excellent means of public consultation. Its a pity that they could have not set up such a forum as this on their website, but they chose not to.
Us also had a prime opportunity to display their proposals on the hoardings around the Midland since their submission to the Council Planning department in December 2007. They chose not to do this and instead used the hoardings as a PR exercise for advertisement of the company and their other out of town schemes and promote all the awards they had received from the authorities.

If thats true its diabolical. Its very offensive that you are now accusing me of making abusive telephone calls without providing any evidence. if the phone call was abusive or threatening it certainly was not me. I treat others as I would like to be treated myself.
Sorry to hear about that I hope Rachel got over it. Did you inform the police and did you record the message? All calls are recorded on our phone, its easy to set up a user friendly system.

.
Which paper would that be? and could you provide the evidence on the new Cllr Barker thread
I suggested.
Cant understand why you have a problem with the name Truth, unless of course truth brings you out of your comfort zone.
Come on you shrimps, no Shrimps goal yet!
