Admin took my poem off, they do dictate,
But I'm sure its not to discriminate,
Though some can offend without a care,
It seems to be more than a bit unfair.
To belittle my"childish" verse,
Appears to be a little terse,
Is calling somebody an idiot fairplay,
And use vulgarities in straplines OK.
Rocke's disparaging comments about Cwm folk,
Will no doubt create some talk,
Relatives and friends in Tillery will note,
And remember this when its time to vote.

Although I have been advised not to respond to anyone using pseudonyms whilst something is being considered by what one rookie calls High Command.
I can see where you are coming from, when I raised questions about 'impartiality' I was accused of being depraved and nothing was done about that slur on my character either, which to me proved what I was complaining about in the first place had some currency. I think your ode should be reinstated Pamcares.

I didn't know it had disappeared but I'm very glad it did. They are offensive because they are so bad. They give the town a bad name.

I must say that I recieved more than one complaint about it, whether they had passed their complaints on to admin I can't say since it was deleted before I had chance.
Complainents said that it was more than offensive, it was not her usual bad politcal samecrap satire it was downright rude and that messages of that nature would normally be removed so why was it allowed because it was in verse.

"Pamcares" - I took your post off because of complaints I received about it because it was just quite simply a distasteful personal attack on an individual, rather than contributing to any debate constructively, and so not in keeping with the rules and/or spirit of the board.
"Hedleymccarthy" - I didn't see the message you mention and didn't receive any complaints from any individuals. If you would like to pm or email to point it out, I will be happy to look at it. By the way, I have removed messages with "ad hom" attacks on you previously, so your repeated allegations of bias are simply wrong.

They fact that they haven’t removed this post or other posts accusing them of bias rather undermines the argument don’t you think?

What has Rocke said about Cwm?
I used the forum search tool and the only thing I can find was Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2008 12:47 am Post subject: This is the week that was - and will be.
Are you are referring to my post where I said the sheep impounding service was also known as the Cwm dating agency?
If so:
1. I’m not Rocke and have offered a means to prove it. Perhaps you would like to give admin permission to check your IP address and confirm you are not hedley.
2. I wouldn’t say it was disparaging – its typical valleys banter. If it did offend anyone, I would like to say in my defense – get a sense of humor and get over it. If you are that easily offended you really shouldn’t use the internet.

i agree with you

There seems to be a thread ( pardon the pun ) running through here now.
Last week 'hedleymccarthy' was putting words in my mouth, now 'pamcares' has conjured up something completely spurious.
We've had the poor hacking attempt.
Looks like High Command is using some of its Intelligence Operatives into the orchestration of the sheep.
And here we have proof of it from one 'hedleymccarthy'.
"Although I have been advised not to respond to anyone using pseudonyms whilst something is being considered by what one rookie calls High Command. "
So - 'not to respond to anyone using pseudonyms'.
Doesn't stop you using them though does it ?
Or did you mean not to respond to anyone who uses a pseudonym ?
If so, you've disobeyed orders !!
Next, 'whilst something is being considered by what one rookie calls High Command.'.
So there you have it - High Command ARE involved.
I bet Agent Smith is loving this.
First a PR cockup by wrongly maligning Cwmtillery Ward Councillors, now an open admission that High Command is taking an interest in things in this area.
Well the last time they 'considered things' it was to undo the ill-considered thing they did the election before ie. remove the women-only shortlist requirement.
Better than having a man on the inside you are 'hm'.
I bet this sieve gets replaced with a more watertight container in the not-to-distant future.
So, here's one for your Political Masters, perhaps the last messaging service you run for them.
I've had no response to my letter to the Cwmtillery platoon regarding their attempted smear of me following the election. Their futile and pathetic attempt to disenfranchise the electors by as I see it slandering me has not seen the required redress be made.
I will therefore be asking the County Court to serve a summons on it and your minions who actually carried out the mission.
I think the media will be very interested to hear how you go about things, regardless of the outcome.
Cry - because you have just loosed the Dog of War.
And little corporal 'hedleymccarthy' will be one of the witnesses.
Rocke
One further point.
Call someone 'rookie' and of course it conjours up a picture of someone inexperienced.
However, it actually refers to a person in their first season ( year, term ) of something, which naturally would lead one to take their views etc. with a pinch of salt.
So, we not only have a rookie councillor using this forum but we have a rookie Leader of the Opposition in Blaenau Gwent Council.
That's the rookie Leader of the Council, as was.
He never made it into a second term.
I wonder if as Leader of the Opposition he'll fare any better.
And time will tell which rookie fulfills his role and performs the best.

Who is High Command Hedley henpecked already
Rocke
The Party Higher Ups down in Cardiff, or wherever they pull the strings from.
We've an Abertillery Ward Labour Party run from Beaufort St in Brynmawr ( I've still got the proof ) and that then run from somewhere else.
Oh - and 'hedleymccarthy' maintains they have a degree of autonomy.
It's the Beaufort St. gang that 'advised' those that 'run' the Cwmtillery Ward Party faithful to slander me after my election.
( And no, that's not why I appear very anti-Labour but it does ease my sadness at having to have a go at a party, the vast majority of whose members, in my experience, are not only genuine but have a good understanding of the problems we face and ideas on how to deal with them.
Unfortunately they weren't listened to when they warned High Command not to inflict all-woman lists in this area.
Now with the more political members departed to other parties there's no-one left with the inclination to stand against the yappers who clearly haven't the capacity to be relatively high profile politicians. ).
Anyway, a full listing of the characters in the farce ''Allo, Allo Agent Smith calling" will be given nearer the time.

Police set to step up hacking of home PCs
THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.
The move, which follows a decision by the European Union’s council of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state which drives “a coach and horses” through privacy laws.
The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room.
Material gathered in this way includes the content of all e-mails, web-browsing habits and instant messaging.
Under the Brussels edict, police across the EU have been given the green light to expand the implementation of a rarely used power involving warrantless intrusive surveillance of private property. The strategy will allow French, German and other EU forces to ask British officers to hack into someone’s UK computer and pass over any material gleaned.
A remote search can be granted if a senior officer says he “believes” that it is “proportionate” and necessary to prevent or detect serious crime — defined as any offence attracting a jail sentence of more than three years.
However, opposition MPs and civil liberties groups say that the broadening of such intrusive surveillance powers should be regulated by a new act of parliament and court warrants.
They point out that in contrast to the legal safeguards for searching a suspect’s home, police undertaking a remote search do not need to apply to a magistrates’ court for a warrant.
