For anyone to be able to view this site as full of right wing extremists they would need to be very far left indeed because as several others have already stated we have a wide variety of opinions expressed by the different members with opposing points of view and indeed some of the debates do become very heated at times.

Sometimes I may find myself agreeing with certain members on one topic but at the same time disgreeing with those same people on a different topic. That's what makes freedom of speech so interesting, that we can have these different views and not be afraid to air them. I do not accept generalised labelling. It shows such a lack of imagination.

I think you may have found us daunting at first Purple Lass because the majority of us didn't share your view on one particular topic, but having said that I have since agreed with you on others which just goes to illustrate my point. I think we are all adult enough to view each topic sensibly in its own right. (Well most of us are).

I would be very intrested to know if you did make that statement Councillor Jones and whether it made more sense if not taken out of context. As Lettie said, if that is your opinion then it shows a serious lack of understanding of the issues important to us all and does indeed call into question your ability to air our views to the council. It would be sad to think that this was the case when you have joined us here in many of our discussions and been so informative.
