Why did Albion sell the Goldstone? Argus letters achieve new low...

[seagullsovergrimsby]

What you have to realise that is that since the Goldstone was sold the population mix in Brighton has changed. One in four properties are now bought by Londoners so they dont have a clue about local topics that people born in Brighton know about.

Why does the Brighton Evening Argus even bother printing such drivel (this from today)?

EXACTLY. A more useful course of action would be to send the men in white coats round to this old bat's house.

"I have heard that the Falmer site, is actually a SACRED CARAVAN SITE, and all of us will be CURSED by the ancient pikey spirits.

Please Argus, DO something to stop the chavs from rising like they did in Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video. The pikeys are going to boogie down to Western Road and eat our children"

:dance:

See how that works?

But the issue remains: not knowing the facts, whatever the reason for that ignorance, disqualifies you from having an opinion on them.

No. You're still entitled to your opinion. But if it's based on ignorance of the facts, the rest of us are entitled to ridicule it. That's democracy. Even in The Argus.

We sold the Goldstone?, why wasn't I informed

We sold the Goldstone?, why wasn't I informed

I hear that a very good book called BUILD A BONFIRE explains it all

 

[Gully]

If one in four properties in Brighton has been bought by absolutely clueless Cockneys then it would be in all our interests if they buggered off back there.

Whatever did happen to that nice Mr Archer and Mr Bellotti , I think we know a song about them , don't we children.

Clearly, this chap is a FOOL, but if he is that uninterested in football, it's fair enough that he may not know what happened.

What made me f***ing ANGRY was that the Argus would even print such a letter. Two sides to every story and that, but printing a letter they know full well is entirely ill informed, on such an emotive topic is f***ing stupid.

At least put an 'Argus comment' on it with the real story, otherwise people might agree with such idiocy - or don't print it at all. UTTER TOSH, and they knew it.

I'm sure that we'll see responses tomorrow and over the weekend which explain the truth.

Clearly an outsider, but what worries me is that as soon as they move to the area they start ordering us about as if they have lived here all their lives.

PLEASE post the fallout of this. I'd like to see how it goes.

I think that it is more a case of when you move to a new area you want to be intergrated with the locals so tend to join in with what is going on. If his neighbours are anti Falmer he would become part of that protest. Doesnt make it right but it shows that not everybody out there is on our side and begs the question of are we winning the PR Battle? Mind you there is no guarantee that he/she is a newcomer to the area.

Nah, newspapers love letters like that as they know they're going to get loads of responses. The more ill-informed, the better.

 

[Everest]

I sent my letter of disgust off. I doubt whether they print it though, 'care in the community' came into it somewhere.
