IF we are to have another Task Force or suchlike in Burnley following the recent local election results, I beg of these in command not to lumber us with any more of Tony Blair's New Labour dead wood.

Because, believe me, the sight of any more of them in town would be enough to make the good people of Burnley jump into the arms of the BNP or the canal for that matter.
