a n online community radio show fo­ cussing on local politics and the Gen­ eral Election has been branded biased by one of the candidates. Allan Knox; the Liberal Democrat can­

Perfectly matched Valley boasts record numbers of Scouts


THE number of Scouts in Clitheroe Dis-,- trict has reached a record number. '.-7 ■ : . The organisation has enjoyed a 10.5% increase in the number of young people . who are taking part in Scouting activi­ ties.


Currently 471 youngsters, between the


ages of six and 25, take part in a variety of activities from camping and cooking, to meeting MPs and making a difference in their community. And next year a group of 11 Explorer


Scouts will travel to Sweden to take part in the World Scout Jamboree. Over three weeks they will meet more


..than 30,000 Scouts from around 216 .countries.


V Clithcroe and District Scouts consists o f 11 groups located across the Ribble Valley and is one o f seven districts in East Lancashire. ' The increase in the number of Scouts


in Clitheroe and surrounding villages now means more adult helpers are need­ ed.'-

been offered that spot I would’ve under­ stood the logic.’’; ■


; - He.then became aware that the Labour


and Conservative candidates had declined the offer to go on the show, so at that point he also.dechned the invitation. • Mr.Knox; added: .“The final straw was


the week before when I tuned, into the show expecting to hear one of the other candidates and instead heard the show’s producer indulge in a diatribe recom­ mending that all non-English people and non-Christians should be deported. “I came to the conclusion that appear­


ing on the show would only serve to give credibility to those views. “There are many talented people in­


volved in Ribble Valley Media who pro­ duce entertaining and professional shows. However, they are all being let down by the bias of the political show. “As soon as the fren^ of the election is


over I will be seeking a meeting with those in charge of Ribble Valley Media to ask how they intend to remove.bias and big­ otry from their political programming.” Responding to Mr Knox’s claims, the


show’s producer, Mr Loebell, hotly denied any and all accusations of bias. He said: “The show - a first of its kind

that I, due to my political connections to UKIP, could not do the actual presenting of the show, but that it would be in order toproducetheshow.” - - — Mr Loebell explained that letters were


sent to each o f the known candidates or their agents, but despite repeated attemps, only tw o -th e Lib-Dems and UKIP-re­ sponded positively,-and both candidates expressed a preference for the same date, April 24th.Tt was only to accommodate MrKnox’s preference that the UKIP can­ didate, Mr Rush, was moved to May 1st, which.was originally set aside for a pre­ election round-up. ■■ r The show would be presented by Simon:
