The current fuss over singing the national anthem does make you wonder about our national press and their priorities as NEWSpapers. "ooh look, he's wearing a tie!... ahh but the top button's undone..."


Indeed. Interesting that his no-singing is of so much importance. Imagine the outcry if he's taken a smiling selfie at the funeral of say, Nelson Mandela.. .

Right, hand's up all those that think some of our officers are indeed 'numptys'..............fair showing there.

And hand's up all those who think the inept Councillor responsible for losing £50,000.00 should have been shaken by the throat until he agreed to repay the money his incompetency had lost us? ..........thought so.

Rowan mate, you seem to have a fair bit of support.

I guess, from some of the replies here that few people know that one of the developer companies is owned by Mark Norgate's mum (Delia)

To be fair, this is really just a case of "old habits die hard". You only have to look at what's gone on here through the years and what's going now to see that the Council have only ever operated on the 'Cash only' principle. (Quite often in brown paper envelopes).

Any change of heart after seeing Gazzadp's post?


None whatsoever. He still hasn't posted ANY messages from Facebook H.Q. (which, if you read my post was what I challenged him to produce).

I think I'd be inclined to contact Disney and ask if Steve Nash was acting on their orders. (at the very least you might get a 'showaround' on the set by way of an apology).

I think the owner of that Facebook site is being 'wound-up'. Either that or he wants / needs the publicity. (I notice he hasn't posted any of the alleged messages from Facebook H.Q.)

'Fury' is being released in approximately a months time. It is unlikely that they are still filming anywhere. Brad is presently in Gozo, and will be there for 8 weeks.

What IS being shot up there is the new Star Wars movie. Hence all the 'blue screens' being up. Sadly. it's all second unit and effects footage, so there are no big 'stars' up there.

The main thing that puzzles me, and which is never discussed or questioned: if Gaza is totally blockaded by land, sea and air, where do the rockets come from? Hamas can't have an infinite supply in stock, or materials to manufacture them, even if they had the expertise.

Ah yes, the bravery of being out of range.

Here's a thought, instead of bleating on small parochial forums, why not actually do something about it?

If you have an accusation to make and you can back it up, I would love to hear you state your point.


I don't think he / she has to. You said yourself that you were only interested in UKIP because you wanted out of Europe. You also said yourself that you weren't racist.

You then, having said that, felt the need to bring to people's attention the selling of Hal Al meat in a few Subway branches. Nothing to do with your stated reason for supporting UKIP is it? Nothing to do with Farage standing in Newbury (the original post) is it? No. You, as a 'non-racist' just felt you had to bring it up for apparently absolutely no reason at all. (You even called it a 'ban') Maybe it just kinda accidentally slipped out?

I think we've seen enough here for many of us to make our own judgements about some of your views. Thank you.

Well hitherto the EU has had a politcal free ride; it is about time it came under pressure to reform and that is how I see the value in parites like UKIP.


UKIP has the worst voting and attendance record of ANY party in the European Parliament. Difficult to see how that's going to help change Europe politically, and didn't they just vote against a Ivory Trade clampdown?

As for the Bye-Election, well at the last Election Farage was beaten by a man dressed as a dolphin, perhaps that's why he seems to have bottled this opportunity.

The new glass bit looks good to me, but the clutter and tat in the street scene really detract - I'm not talking about the temporary barriers, I'm talking about the bollards, signs, and posts


So the signs CAN be seen then? Those people who ran over / into the bollards were often to claim they "never saw them".

The new 'bit' is not exactly sympathetic to it's surroundings, rather than joining the existing buildings together, it actually looks more like it's holding them apart. We all know that good architecture is when 'form follows function', sadly this just looks like a glorified car show-room. It's lazy, unimaginative, and pedestrian.

I'm sure there are some who will like it, but then there are those who buy 'One Direction' C.D's, that doesn't make 'One Direction' good musicians though does it ?

This is just cheap tat. Having an almost completely glass wall means you don't have to design anything to go there does it? It is sadly indicative of the decline in architectural thought processes and understanding that is beginning to blight just about everywhere in our town centers.

Which individual came up with this? They should be named. Thus people who like it can write and show support and those who think this is not a good addition to the architectural heritage of Newbury can throw buns at them in supermarkets.

Some see a scheming evil corrupt inept & bungling bunch of ingrates who seem to do everything they can to make life in west berks a misery.

Others see a council.


Sadly, the two are not mutually exclusive.
