Re: This Web Site

Hi Everyone

“I disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Is attributed to Voltaire but can not be found in any of his writings.

Perhaps another quote by who else, Winston Churchill is very appropriate, “ A lie gets half way around the world, before the truth has a chance to put its pants on”

And to all with an interest in politics once again Winston Churchill “Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in poiltics many times”

Not very relevant perhaps, however food for thought with all that has been flying about recently.

A final quote this Sunday, "Love your Neighbour as yourself"

Regards
Alan

Re: This Web Site

Ha ha that quote from Winston Churchill is too good!Iv always thought that the website was well kept and let everyone show their own views.I mainly only go on the message board but it seems okay to me.

I do actually agree with Vic i only ever hear CAP councillors complaining about things.

Re: This Web Site

I do believe CAP feel they should be exempted from the rough and tumble of politics .A tad odd when every single item on their web page (and on here apparently) attacks 'New Labour' ,and any critic is labelled a 'New Labour' stooge. I've been surprised by the amount of bile and spite they seem to have for any venture that is not thier doing, or they are unable to claim credit for.

That said,I read some of Adele's comments and she seems quite reasonable and level headed ,and quite correctly states, life is too short.

Very few online community forums have hundreds or thousands of messages.I like this one, it's informative and anyone can have a say.I don't blame the moderator for removing messages attacking the forum, or the webmaster of the site .If people take time to put something up the community can freely use it should be applauded, not attacked. And, like Vic, I am NOT a member of any political Party in Wigan, never have been, and never will be.
