THIS SITE IS FOR EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL, SOCIAL OR RELIGIOUS BELIEF. And yes, on this occasion, I am shouting!

So, Councillor Jones, you are entitled to whatever views you choose to subscribe to, but do not take the moral high ground with the rest of us who do not necessarily wholeheartedly follow you.

You are quite right to shout, Pendy.
Some of Graham Jones' statements calling us fascists, reminds me of reading of McCarthyism, in 1950's America. It is politics by scare tactics.


I agree with some of the things Councillor Jones says and I disagree with other of his opinions. Does that make me half right, or half wrong. Or because I don't agree 100% with Mr Jones, does that make me 100% wrong?
