However that is how our political system works, doesn't matter how many vote (it is their choice to vote or not to vote) it is the percentage of those that actually bothered to vote that counts..

And the Local Lab Councillors!

Three people telling other forumites to move and leave this thread alone. Surely the best way to let the thread die is not to contribute at all. If you feel it's no longer relevant to this section then ask the Administrator to move it but leave others that still want to discuss aspects of this highly charged issue alone.

    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing.
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks 
    • I totally agree with jazzer having been “jumped on” by various members.. I try and help as that is the sort of person I am, but now will try hard  to just read and not reply.. was down right hurtful to have a comment made along the lines that as I was no longer as person supposed, in ED and moved somewhere else should just leave group. No longer sure what sort of people are on this group - certainly not as pleasant as it was 15 years  ago when people were pleasant, helpful and some things were a joke and much more  light hearted. Everyone has a right to their own opinion as it is a public forum- meaning anyone can join from where-ever but c maybe I have got that wrong as well / doesn’t matter as I will probably leave…  
    • Doesn’t this business at the tills already happen in some grocery shops?
