Talk of the Town

[Maggie/915]

Topics of General Interest:-

I have taken the title literally.

Basically anything that would interest someone in Bedlington.

Something to chat/ talk about in the town.

(Pub, Church or outside Tesco's )

Something you would not want showing up on a search engine maybe.

Maggie doesn't want this to be political debate on this forum I don't either but my mum did join the communist party I think she had the same passion as you whether I agreed with her or not I did love her & I do miss her that's for you 3g

Political debate is fine by me.

Political debate is fine by me too.  Those who don't want it don't have to read it.

[Bedlingtonian]

Perhaps politics can have its own heading in Hobbies & Interests and everyone would then know where to find the latest debate

[Symptoms]

I think it might have been that old guy, Aristotle, who said that "everything is political."

 

I wouldn't want some grubby corner here earmarked specifically for politics or for introducing political spin on other folk's topics.  It keeps it lively, it aggravates some, offends others.

'Everything is political'

Even 'Black Bullets' maybe

[Symptoms]

Yep, Maggs.  Invented by the toffs to rot the plebs' teeth so all they could eat would be pottage.  A good way of keeping the 'great unwashed' off the local Squire's land and preventing poaching of bunnies and Bambie's Mum.

 

So, "Even 'Black Bullets" are political.

[Bedlingtonian]

Can you say 'Black Bullets' or is it politically incorrect these days.
