er..Sedgley and Peter H...you're one and the same. Both at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Both as dull as dishwater.
There's 40,000+ people living in this area. You are but two and neither of you have the best of grips on reality.
Really now, the time you spend posting your pearls of non-wisdom would be better off spent getting out there and campaigning for the causes you supposedly support or the community you supposedly know so much about. Then again, why do something productive when you love the sound of your voices so much?
Why don't you arrange to take each other for tea and buns so the other people don't have to suffer this drivel and pomposity?
If you two are reflective of the types involved in local politics, is it hardly a surprise that nobody gives a sh*t?
