Our OAPs are in desperate need of EU cash
Re: Pensions
On Budget Day I received notification of my increase in pension, together with the earth-shattering news that I will receive all of 25p a week extra on attaining my 80th birthday later this year.
Is the Department of Work and Pensions really able to afford such an immense sum for we older pensioners for, after all, our Government has to send £100,000 a minute over to Brussels to be squandered by that unelected, undemocratic and undeniably corrupt European Union?
This is, of course, amongst all the other expenditure for keeping the EU bureaucrats in the palatial manner to which they are now accustomed and for them to squander.
Doubtless that Darling will relieve us of far more than 25p to keep the £100,000 a minute disappearing from our coffers of which we are in such desperate need for our own country and I only hope I live long enough to help vote this wretched Government out of office.

Another week, another vaguely topical missive from Mr Sheath to roll out his favourite "£100,000 a minute to the EU" line.

I have to agree with Reg here, leave Party the politics out of this please, let's have real people contributing...if we are to be Administrated by a bunch of business people and that's what they all are, let's make them sign documents that hold them to their promises given in their manifesto's?...other
wise you are all voting for nothing, a bit of fun in other words…..The ‘people’ now need a referendum before the next GElections to change our direction of the totalitarianism aspect of this country that's just now, for the down and outs, terrorists and of course the asylum seekers that take everything back home apart from the carcass’s left in wooded areas….we would now like the same sympathy as these asylum seekers, a handout not to go home but to go elsewhere in the globe where we do not have fools like these UKIP/Tory/Labour/Lib Dems people that work for a Party blindly, change anything for the better?... no chance, if you believe that you are a fools…whilst they have freedom to do as they please after election, we will go further and further into the abyss everyone…if we are not already there with another council tax increase next month and .4p on beer and .11p on fags, over £5.00 for a gallon of petrol, all this to stop people from drinking, driving their car and smoking, well if we do cut down, where’s the money coming from then?......something else taxed?...of course it is!...My advice to everyone is to collect names and produce it to the courts of this land and state we want proper administration, a revolution?..yes possibly!.. if that’s what it takes, Cromwell changed it, but the money people changed it back again which went against us the commoners….it’s a certainty we are going no where at present with the charlatans we call democratic councilors and MP’s that take £1,000 for a bed in their second homes!!

My thoughts exactly can the paper please ban all letters from Labour/Tory/LibDem/U
KIP/BNP/Respect candidates in the run up to the council election. Let ordinary people get their views in, these people have big well funded parties behind them for publicity, stop hogging our letters page!

I am a candidate for the local elections, and I'm a candidate because I care for the area I live, we all live in and around politics it affects our everyday life. So I don't think banning us from talking in the letters page of the local papers should be allowed, I personally write to let people know what I stand for and what I wish to fight for on behalf of the local residents. Not to long ago a member of the UK Independence Party got the build of the gigantic mosque in Dudley stopped, so we are here for the locals and wish to know what the locals want and do not want in the area, so we can represent them in the council house and get true representation not just words from the large party's and councillors who are not too bothered what goes on as most of them do not even live in the area. We all need to vote in the elections and get our views accross. dont not vote after we won the right years ago to have our say..... stuart henley

According to the reports it seems more likely that it was the thousands of letters and complaints the council received that caused the rejection of the mosque rather than the voice of UKIP. Did you share the victory with the BNP? They seem to be claiming sole responsibility as well.
It's not the worthy political comment that should be banned. It's the groundless claims that various parties make that should be stopped.

you need to look into all the work Malcolm Davis did in getting all the petitions out and signed also he was one of the few voices on the council that spoke up against the mosque. It was a joint fight with X UKIP Councillor Malcolm Davis and the people who voted it out, so remember it depends who you have in the council house and if they will speak up against issue like this or hide in a corner.
