| Robin Taylor After reading the recent exchanges between John Connelly and yourself on this tread, I now find that there at least two people of a political persuasion who can hold a decent debate, unlike some current councillors or ex councillors who post on this forum. It’s a good job that most of the Borough's average Joe public doesn’t read this forum as some current serving Councillors would not be elected again. I voted Tory in the last council elections, but if I lived in Isleworth at this present time, some of the local Councillors would really struggle to gain my vote, based on what I read on here. I know there are some very good Councillors in all the local political parties, pity they all couldn’t be included in one coalition to run the borough, but we do not live in an ideal world, so are stuck with someone has to win with a large majority so we can walk over the opposition. Keep on posting the way you are now Robin, you could persuade me to vote Labour, if I had a good candidate in my part of the borough. I might be way out of order when I say, the dirty side of local politics seems to be played out on the this forum and weather you guys like it or not, it will sway the general public (of which I am one) one way or another. I am probably very naive to think that we had moved on from the political posturing that goes on this forum; it may be a bit of fun amongst the political parties and for want of a word, political “agitators”, but you of all people know how fickle the general public can be. |
