After all why hold an opinion if you are too frightened to own it? I am sure JD will comment if he wants to, as I do on his blog, and when he does I expect it will be to comment on the subject of the blog and not my grammar or who I may or may not have on my friends list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051530490965644662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636667195540919897.post-49048133689377544772012-10-28T19:10:51.419+00:002012-10-28T19:10:51.419+00:00tony.

In this case to express tense. "give" is pretence rather than the post or pastence gave or given. But as a local I prefer local dialect as in "I give it a go".<br /><br />What I find pathetic are posters who have to resort to anal grammar criticism, which implies by it's nature that there is even such a thing as a legitimate, totalitarian standard for English, it is in itself an antithetical concept.<br /><br />Therefore it is correct as long as I say it is correct, m'duck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051530490965644662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636667195540919897.post-56428164208626795442012-10-28T06:48:52.139+00:002012-10-28T06:48:52.139+00:00"The speech ED should have (give) to the TUC&..."The speech ED should have (give) to the TUC"????? <br /><br />Pathetic.

Good job there is not any serious issues on the agenda at the moment like who is going to manage our Police Force for the next four years or so to discuss. It can only be a matter of time before Mr Dickie is asked, sorry, joins in with this debate.<br /><br />Congratulations though Richard on happening to stumble across this blog and especially this entry. I'll certainly not take any lectures from you though on being honest and up front about who I am and what I am.<br /><br />Say what you want about Trident, the two main political parties support keeping it and if people felt that strongly about it then they would vote for someone else. I dont disagree that many members of Labour and even some Tories would like to see it scrapped. I guess its just not a big enough issue to people to cast their vote on. It is annoying isnt in when things like the NHS, education, business rates etc get in the way (please dont come back with the silly 'get rid of Trident and you will get XXX,XXXX new hospitals)<br /><br />Point taken Tony and credit to you - you kept your deposit and you served one term before losing it back to Labour.

Tell us the circumstances under which you see it being used. Who, and under what circumstances do you see Britain using a nuclear deterrent independently of the USA (or anyone else) and against whom? What will it deter someone else from doing who will not be deterred by others or other weapons?<br /><br />If you cannot answer the question, then why do you want the weapon? Perhaps to show the conviction of your response tell us who you are at the same time, or are you a coward?<br /><br />Before you ask, there's plenty of other things to disagree with Tony about, but not this.Richard Churchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636667195540919897.post-74136794406891188562012-10-25T14:16:59.879+01:002012-10-25T14:16:59.879+01:00Anon, Do you really think that with less than 500,...Anon, Do you really think that with less than 500,000 members between them, that out of a population of 63 million people that the top down enforced policy positions of the three main parties is relevant!<br /><br />And when you do ask the actual members of those parties what there view is as they did in a ComRes/Independent poll 61 per cent of those planning to vote Labour supported scrapping Trident, 63 per cent of those planning to vote Liberal Democrat, and most interestingly perhaps, 48 per cent of potential Conservative supporters, coming in 1 per cent higher than those wanting to keep Trident. <br /><br />Polls over the last 5 years have seen continuous majoritities of the UK population in favour of scrapping trident from a low of 52% to a high of 73% averaging over that period majorities in the high 60's who want it scrapped.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, scrapping Trident can be seen as a vote winner, not a vote loser.<br /><br />As to your other dismissive critiques, I prefer to be one of only a small handful of Independents in 2010 who kept his deposit at the general election, and the only Independent from Northampton ever to win Borough and County Elections and to do so in Labours supposedly safest seat.<br /><br />You got one thing right though, I am working for my electorate 100% of the time, but unlike being a Labour Cllr, I am still allowed to hold an opinion and share it online (without being anonymous) and without the risk of expulsionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051530490965644662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636667195540919897.post-12050385606626361852012-10-25T13:45:18.009+01:002012-10-25T13:45:18.009+01:00Last General Election - those supporting Trident (...Last General Election - those supporting Trident (Labour and Tories) got 67%.
