If you look at the thread in the link above, as well as time and commitment (and expertise) it needs a fair bit of money spent.


I suggested a crowdfunder, but obviously there is no point having the money without somebody/some people to do what needs to be done to the software and then to run and moderate it.


A huge commitment I would think, and Mark deserves a medal for keeping it going so long.


It's a massively useful local resource and it will be a real shame if it closes, but I can see why others would be loath to take it on.

So sorry to hear this Mark. You and I have had our polite disagreements over the year, resulting in my exclusion from some forum activity. Despite this, I will be very sad to see it go. It?s been a unrivalled resource for nostalgia, local information and hot debate over these last 16 years.


I genuinely hope someone can come along and invest the time and money into keeping it going.


Louisa.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
