ON David Drew’s condemnation of the Finsbury Park attack.

Posted by Haloge: In the meantime it’s important that everyone carries on as normal, stays calm, lights candles, lays flowers, buys teddy bears, hashtags Peace & Love, and that we all sing Imagine and Kumbaya.

Posted by Augustus Gloop: With all due respect to the posters of previous comments, what on earth do you expect David Drew to do or say? Our MP has said exactly the right thing, in that hatred and violence against innocent folk has no part in the Britain the vast majority of us want to live in. I’m not a supporter of David but to use his comments as a source of annoyance is just bizarre and inappropriate.

Posted by Haloge: Islamophobia = An imaginary mental disorder not recognised by the medical profession, and/or a neologism devised by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.

On the comments by Gloucestershire County Council cabinet member for highways and flood Vernon Smith regarding the work on Stanley Mills Bridge Posted by Mad in Stroud: Cllr Vernon Smith, said: “It’s a priority for us to keep the county’s highways well maintained.” Sir, please walk up the Slad Road between the Fountain Inn and Sycamore drive, and you will see potholes which are a constant danger to cyclists, motorbikers and particularly pedestrians who suffer gravel-shelling from the deterioration of the road fabric. This is a long-standing problem. Year after year, they fill in the potholes but do not seal their repairs properly at the edges, so at the first ingress of water, followed by a freeze, the seal is broken, and the repair disintegrates, and the pothole re-appears. You need to call these people to account !

On the success of the Stop The Mast campaign in Painswick.

Posted by kjag23: Hurrah! Fear mongering wins again! And I bet every single person protesting has a mobile phone and will inevitably whinge about the signal being bad.

Posted by dave1167: What a stupid comment. We managed for years without mobiles as I do. There are to many blots on our landscape. Well done to the trust and the residents.

Posted by W Tebb: Wonder how many protesters allow their children to hold mobile phones to their heads and have wireless broadband hubs by their beds exposing them to much higher levels of radiation.
