You maybe surprised that I agree with you dave, but if there was a political section the same usual suspects would still be in there posting

Most things that affects us in life is down to politics whether you want to call it that or not! Whether it's what school our children are going to and which ones are doing well, whether it's the pot hole in the middle of the road and who should be paying to have it fixed, whether it's about who should be emptying our bins and how often - ALL POLITICS!

If some people don't like these threads then tough, they're what makes people come back to the site every day to find out what's going on.

Funny you should mention that. We have road barriers piled up outside our house from roadworks which were finished about 6 weeks ago. How do we get them moved ? I don't really want to know how Labour brought the country to it's knees, or Thatcher sold off all the family jewels, or wait until Gordon can get them detained for 42 days, or smarmy David hugs a hoodie to solve the world economic crisis. I would just like them moved

Real issues! Get on the phone to your local councillor, he/she can get in contact with people who will move them if the work is finished!

You must be very disappointed, having a granddaughter who's interested in other people.

How galling.

The nice thing with Accyweb's variety is that you can choose which type threads to read, which to contribute to, and which to ignore!

I find alot of it beyond my distant/foreign realm i.e. local constables, prams and trolleys, ASDA, and the local sales/restaurants. I only add to some of these for a bit of Yankee perspective. I know this annoys a few but usually it's appreciated by others.

Above all, I usually enjoy watching the banter!

You don't class them as people do you Rindi, they're just narcissistic fools

What I find most interesting about politics is it is so much based on perspective. When I was a teen, I made note in my infinite teen wisdom that Franklin D. Roosevelt was the worst President by helping unions, creating welfare, and making people lazy! As a very (American)conservative family thought I was safe.

Well my mum almost ripped my head off. She grew up very poor in the tenaments of Providence, Rhode Island during the Great Depression:

"How dare you say that Brian! If it wasn't for Roosevelt we would have starved to death. His works programs paid your Grampa Hall a dollar a day to dig ditches!"

I really had no idea and began to realise I maybe had a bit more to learn about life! After feeling so very violated by Nixon's Watergate, I came to accept that (IMO) most politicians are the same. Seeking to better themselves at the expense of the masses (IMO).

Thoughts from across the pond. Cheers!

Shut down independent dairies? Can I ask where you get your milk in Accrington?

and how many businesses are left you encouraged people to open businesses and sold them down the river by hitting them wherever possible..by keeping high interest rates .. competition thats what they said about the telecommunication electric and gas industries we are paying through the nose for our energy bills looks like free markets dont work.raping the country of its assets by selling them to their mates corrupt to the core.smashing the manufactoring industry to the core.it shows you tories are bad for the country.the few reap the profits the rest pay through the nose to make them profits..
