You're an angry man, Martin. But you do rather undermine your arguments when you claim that "The character building could have been sold for conversion raising easily enough to build any new hospital for cash". I have no idea what sum could have been raised from selling the previous building but I really doubt it would even have come close to paying for a state of the art flagship hospital. Just a thought.

Demolishing that building is little short of vandalism, it is/was a key local landmark.

M7post, you/we have every right to be angry about this!

@ Peckhamboy, i don't think the OP undermined his argument in anyway.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Personally I think anyone starting a thread on a public forum, to complain about public services, and uses the phrase " as a party you have some nerve even showing up at this end of the ward," does undermine any point

The party may well have a nerver, but addressing the party "directly" on a public forum is more whining than dealing with the problem and displays some of the worst characteristics of anonymous internet forums/blogs

sean i would argue the the labour party is not a public service. it's a choice of party, not the state itself.

[SeanMacGabhann]

fair point, but not what I was trying to convey. Anybody, from any party, trying to canvas for anything, should (in my opinion) be challenged directly, face to face, or through MPs or councillors or whatever.

But to post in a direct, second-person manner is a bit passive-aggressive no?

[peckhamboy]

I'm not debating whether the OP has a point or not - I don't know enough of the background promises or the current plans. To be honest I would love to see something useful done with that site. But launching a slightly incoherent rant on here, employing specious arguments on cost, and addressed to people who may not even look at the site, seems rather pointless. And I suspect that, if it had been written as a letter, it might have been written in green ink and capitals.

peckhamboy put it much better than me

Martin I'm not disputing the rights and wrongs of the case - I'm merely questioning why someone would start a thread and address (an absent) third party directly with "you have a nerve"

It just reads a bit scarily

Martin, you're in danger of side-tracking your own thread now. Even a one-eyed monkey can tell the difference between a reasoned, cogent argument and an incoherent rant. It's not necessary to know the underlying facts to assess the persuasive merits of a written argument. I am not doubting that you feel strongly about the issue, nor am I attempting to debate whether you're right or wrong. I'm merely pointing out that by posting in the manner above in response to receiving a leaflet on a wholly unrelated matter you risk not being taken seriously, by coming across as...well...a teensy bit mad.

Haha,

M7post, I would completely ignore Anonymous-Peckhamboy. As he said himself, has nothing to contribute to your post other than nit-pick on the tone of it.... poor show sir :(

[bil]

Please stop attacking Martin :(

[taper]

This is the business of the PCT presumably; not really much to do with the Labour Party/Government?

Problem is that with an election due posting like this looks really suspicious.

PS GO LABOUR!!! KEEP THE IDIOTS OUT..Sorry just slipped out.

Martin, stay on script.....there are many people on this forum obsessed with process and where something should be. East Dulwich has an epidemic of OCD. Get on message Martin....the merits of your case are the debate. My penny's worth is, you're probably right, but need to keep those Tories out!

Moved to the Lounge as it is a more a political debate than about specific ED issues. I will be keeping an eye on these types of posts in the run up to the election as I do not want the forum (especially the ED Issues section) used for electioneering however I understand that The Chair will be holding political debates in The Drawing Room.
