In my opinion it is about time that NWN put a stop to Mr Garvie using this Forum as a vehicle to peddle socialist claptrap at every conceivable opportunity. I for one am pretty sick of it and urge NWN to do something about it before the forum is ruined. Thread after thread gets the "Labour is best" routine whenever he can slip it in.

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Nov 12 2010, 03:27 PM) I'm hardly saying it's best, just pointing out an alternative and I asked your views on the content. Yet all certain people can do is take pot shots at Labour. As for the mess in West Berkshire, why did we not upgrade roads, build new (as in capacity) schools, ensure there were affordable houses and jobs for the younger generation to prevent this area having an older population above the UK average? Labour have not been complicit in West \Berkshire, and now we have suggested an alternative plan, all you can do is slag off the Labour Government which has very little to do with the mess West Berks are in or say that I'm talking about politics too much. Nobody is making you read the political threads. Yawn

QUOTE (Blake @ Nov 12 2010, 03:25 PM) I agree with you Bloggo.
The NWN needs to have a stern word with Garvie to stop his crude propaganda campaign.
There are other forums on the internet to discuss politics. This forum has the odd political position but it is now being DOMINATED by Garvie's party politics.
It is getting me mad now. This'll cheer you up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EucJIl0uonEsomething about these threads always reminds me of the above..

QUOTE (Bloggo @ Nov 12 2010, 03:32 PM) Yawn Is that the best reply you can give? Isn't this forum a place to discuss local news? You might not like what I say, but surely I have a right to speak as much as you do. At least I've suggested an alternative rather than simply moan like others have done.

Yes you do but you don't have the right to swamp it with labour biased political propaganda at each and every opportunity.

Why even bother complaining about 'political' posts? Just don't read them. Certainly don't bother replying to them if they annoy you so much.

PS re. cutting budgets, the excellent P J O'Rorke's Parliament of Whores http://goo.gl/PyRzq is well worth a read whatever your political persuasion (for those who don't know him, O'Rorke is a libertarian/republican ex-hippie draft dodger). In one chapter - I think it's the one titled 'OUR GOVERNMENT: WHAT THE F*** DO THEY DO ALL DAY AND WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH GODDAMMED MONEY?' (see 'look inside') he demolishes the Federal govt budget. Hilarious stuff.
