ON the vandalism at Frith Youth Club in Bussage - a day after it was spring cleaned by volunteers.

Posted by emmajhawkes: All that hard work, time and effort. Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. It’s disheartening to see it happen. I hope they catch those responsible. Hopefully the community can rally round and rectify what has been done.

On our general election interview with Ukip candidate Caroline Stephens.

Posted by lyn.wickedone: I honestly believe that Stroud needs a new injection of ideas and opinions, for too long the other parties have had there say its time to give somebody else a try. After all we have heard all the same promises and nonsense from the other parties so many times before they promise change etc it never happens so why not give somebody else a try they say a change is as good as a rest At least Caroline doesn’t think all schoolchildren should be fed organic vegetarian meals, now that is a loony policy Posted by Phyllus Jones: A vote for Ms. Stephens will be a vote for Brits to finally get their say on returning the UK to a self-governing country from its present status as a province in the nascent EU federal system of government.

On the SNJ’s editorial comment about the decision to approve plans for a supermarket at Dudbridge.

Posted by Phyllus Jones: “.... the decision makes sense.”

Maybe to the SNJ. Not to anybody else. It makes zero sense. Three massive food stores within a few hundred feet of each other. One-third of the food sales of each of the two existing supermarkets disappearing overnight. A recipe for a short period of intense competition and then one of the three saying goodbye. Just a silly, silly decision.

Far better that the decision had been that no third supermarket comes to Stroud.
