31 March 2012 18:53162488Contrary to what some might think
I find some (not many) of the political threads interesting but not when we get the petty point scoring or the tit-for-tat bickering.
By the time they get to post 30 I have usually stopped reading as they are past the interesting stage, unless I am really, really bored and have time to fill.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 31 March 2012 19:31162492Mel, having recently come back from work, an hour ago,
my working clothes are in the washing machine. I've had my warm shower, sipped a mug of milky coffee, and have to go back to the work place where I forgot my mobile phone. But I have the key to get in
When Gov. UK does something worthwhile, they get applause from me publicly, when not, a thorough haranguing. So I lurk about political threads too.
All in all I'm a hard-working man with his nose just above the water financially.
Hopefully this simple portrait of myself will appeal to your good books.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

Been nice knowing you :) - 31 March 2012 19:42162497Howard!
Most of the UKIP members abandoned the Forum, there had been quite a few.
But as you know, I'm too independent to base my views and allegiance on a political party, and wouldn't dream of harassing people with non-stop party views.
My ideas about a party in which I believe go on my blog.
Wouldn't really know what to write about UKIP, the last by-election seems to say it all.
We've got Millyband as No 2, The Conservative size 8 party, mini Lib, microscopic others.
Dash, now I'bve messed up Mel's thread. Sorryyyy

the tax on hot food, the mary portas thingy, the effects of the budget , the dtiz - the list is endless. - 31 March 2012 22:17162518I would like to see the continuation of local politics discussed, as it something I am looking to step into one day. The issue seems to be the childish bickering.

politics can be very daunting, but my offer remains to help you avoid the problemsALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 1 April 2012 09:05162575Politics is Life. Bickering is idiocy. The best politics is the grown up sort. Good luck with it if you decide to swim with the sharks!! It can be the best fun ever!!

1 April 2012 09:24162586agreed bern
always good to be prepared though
thus my offerALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 1 April 2012 10:16162619It is not politics that irritate so much as the fact that so often it descends into personalities and petty point scoring especially when it's about local concerns. Instead of being constructive I have found that it reads just plain nasty. And this applies as well to some of the comments that get made about the police.
I love Melissa's phrase "political pirhanas".
If you do not know the local politicians personally the digs are incomprehensible and unnecessary. - 1 April 2012 11:33162637Agreed - personal pettiness clouds the real politics.

1 April 2012 12:09162653What I find really pertinent . Those who ONLY post on politics, have they no interest in what (for most people) is real life in or out of Dover.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1 April 2012 12:23162664My point is have they no interest in anything other than what this MP or that MP did or did not do.
You are interested in politics but also post on other subjects why do others on here not do the same.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1 April 2012 12:30162671let me explain again jan;
some people post on the 97% posts that do not contain politics and do not wish to post on political posts and thats fine.
others post on the politics threads and choose not tio post on others
to move this on, anyone can post on any thread.
as has been seen politics does tend to generate interest.
non politics posts dioesnt interest some posters
its what the forum is all about.
i wouldnt feel it wrong because some one posts on one subject and not another
its choiceALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS
