The post you are reporting:
Rick bruv chill out,,,,,,,
As I stated to your like minded friend Jacqui we must be able to disagree without all this KEEF ITS ALL YOUR FAULT MATE !!!!
As I said to Jacqui, I DID NOT raise the issue of the SO CALLED joke, I replied to Roger's posting.
Luckily at the mo we still have freedom to express our views, and I do understand some of you will agree with roger and some with me, thats freedom of expression,
Rather than go back on the dreary years of our MAGGIE we can be far more pro active.
Let me give you an example, a tiny, but active group (priory forum) were feeling the tensions around 8 years ago when the asylum issue was becoming a big issue in the ward.
It decided a number of ways to make sure its voice was heard,
1; It held a public meeting where the M.P. , council chief executuive, supt of police,
housing director of council were all invited (as were migrant helpline who
declined to attend)
At the meeting many raised concerns and those on the top table explained
things from there point of view
Coming from this the MP arranged a meeting with the then home Sec Jack
Straw who met the locals to discuss the issues.
At that time (you may recall) in the main the Folkestone road was a real
problem area, and tensions high, but from that meeting Folkestone road was
used less, and dispersal to other parts of th country introduced.
There are ways, to raise issues as they did at that time,
2; Yep people are without doubt peed off with politics in general with all the
parties, and although the expenses scandal may not have been the total
cause, it certainly didn't help.
Yep people have disengaged with politicians and made there voice known
but i think thats a good thing, its hopefully a wake up call for ALL
politicians.
We could have post after post about how bad our maggie was
or how people see gordon, but it solves nowt
The reason for my short post lol is to say, its all about freedom to be able to post on here, i'v noticed a trend of person's coming on here having a go at me cos i dare to disagree with there opinions.
Sadly this is where it all headed before and some labour posters just stopped posting(not me)
I'm a great believer in peoples freedom to be able post even if i disagree with them
even down to our MAX many posters felt he should be banned(before he was) but i defended his right to post, i may disagree with him, but he has a right to an opinion
I hope that we don't head back to the days when the only main posters are Barryw etc (as much as im sure some would like)
EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO POST AND BE HEARD
WHETHER I(YOU) AGREE WITH OR NOT
