WHAT you’ve been saying on our Facebook page:

● UK pledges extra £1.3bn to support Ukraine (May 8):

John Mclaren Kirkwood: What about the pensions (you took away the triple lock). A bit of charity begins at home

Ian Fletcher: Musk pocket change. It’s all relative.

Actually probably not even pocket change, more like found in a trouser turn up.

Darryl Ashton: Always got lots of spare cash for these people but nothing for the home-grown people. Very predictable.

Chris Margi: Why and how can we afford this money? If we can then our bills should be cheaper Jimmy Becky Jackson: Try support their own first wouldn’t go a miss. Pathetic.

● POLICE probe ‘hateful’ far right leaflets sent to homes (May 6):

Kay Louise: I haven’t had one, but if I do whoever is dropping them off will get a piece of my mind. Sharon Rowland: One was delivered to me in Padiham. It went straight in the bin.

Ian Fletcher: It’s a shame that this nanny state has to ‘protect’ us from ‘leaflets’. On one hand it’s a good thing, to stop this garbage getting into the minds of idiots who will believe anything. On the other hand, thanks for assuming we are all idiots.

● CONSERVATIVES thrilled as Labour loses control of council (May 6): Ian Greenwood: In today’s society you have working class people who would always vote Labour now thinking that they’re middle class Conservative voters. How times have changed.

Jordan Marsden: Why is anyone in Hyndburn voting Tory? You need your heads checking.

Alan Smithee: The Conservatives may very well be thrilled, but for us it will make no difference whatsoever.

You will not notice a single change because voting does not get rid of the executive that makes all the policy at the council. Gary Saxton: I’m a Labour supporter, but I am also, like everyone should be, anti bullying.

There needs to be a thorough investigation by the Labour Party of what has been going on in Hyndburn.

Peter Nixon: All I hear is people slagging off the council.

Maybe if Labour had done a half decent job of running the borough then they’d have romped home.
