QUOTE (newres @ Nov 4 2017, 08:03 AM) Does anyone on here ever get along there? It's Newbury's treasure for live music and comedy. Last night we saw Marriage of Figaro by Kennet Opera, but really it's more of a blues venue. Next week I'm seeing Bernie Marsden, but over recent months I've seen Elles Bailey (up and coming blues singer) supported by my cousin, Hugh Cornwell, Joanne Shaw Taylor and lots more besides. In the past we saw a fantastic and poignant show by Sean Hughes. I've been a few times and seen some great acts: PP Arnold, The Blues Band, Cerys Matthews, Muddy Water's son, Wilko Johnson and many more. |

QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ May 17 2017, 06:40 PM) Whatever you think of Benyon he is the best option if you want a Tory. If you want a party of social justice then either of Labour or the Greens are a good vote, and my personal choice is with Labour who have some great policies. The trouble is those policies (of Labour) are not backed up (supported) by the PLP or former labour voters across the country. The whole point of having "great policies" is to inspire, not revolt the public into voting for the Tories. |

QUOTE (On the edge @ May 17 2017, 05:29 PM) If Labour does do badly and Corbyn stands down, all the more reason to vote Labour round here. The very last thing we want is yet another coalition with a party which had a manifesto that makes Labour's look sane! If the LibDims do pick up the odd seat, like West Berks, we are in deep trouble. With them, it's not don't hold your breath, more don't breath in! Corbyn said he won't stand down if they lose. |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 16 2017, 01:21 PM) Obviously he isn't all bad, but I had forgotten some of his decisions, not least the council settlement where he abstained from voting (which in this instance is crude way of supporting the motion). It doesn't say, but I bet he supports hunting foxes with hounds too. http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/news/17...uents-down.html https://www.facebook.com/Dont-Vote-Benyon-454911871519138/ So who do people vote for then? Lib-Dems, which are a waste of space, long with Labour. Whatever you think of Benyon he is the best option. |

QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Oct 6 2016, 05:59 PM) Apparently Woolfe reports feeling numb on his left side, though I figure that's normal for UKIP. People across the board have been hoping that he (Woolfe) gets well, even though they don't agree with is politics. Even Labour's outcasts hope he gets better, but what do we get from a Corbynites? Jokes. With Corbyn's anti Jewish comments, attacks on their own Labour MP... Theresa May got it right when she said that Corbyn's Labour party is the "nasty party". Corbyn and his group are just a bunch of thugs. If that was a Corbyn Labour MP I would wish him well, not make jokes. |

QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Sep 27 2016, 04:51 PM) He could have said it was a gorilla riding a bicycle and you'd argue that it would depend what he meant by "bicycle". It was a legitimate protest at train overcrowding with no misrepresentation involved? Do you want to have another go at justifying the smear that Corbyn is dishonest? I argued it the way it was. But that isn't what he said; that it was a "legitimate protest". You are playing semantics. |
