AS an avid reader, I often refer to Cllr Paul Richardson (UKIP) as “Mr Chips and Fish”.

Why? Because he’s always in the paper.

Now I am sure that Cllr Richardson is not going to take offence at that. Why? Because its called humour, Lancashire humour, something that our fathers and mothers have been raised on.

So let’s not make a little joke into a big joke as this whole saga is about jumping on political bandwagon to score points.

I am quite sure there are far more important issues around the borough that our lady MPs can be spending their time on.

So let’s lighten up. All this politically correct rubbish is turning our lifelong way of life into a minefield.
