Will admit that I don't follow local politics as much as I should, but I was under the impression they were after making less service cuts than any other party would?

Don't wait for me!
Bring back Mary Mears, that would solve everything. Honestly, I've never read so much shit on 5 pages. Thank christ for The Large One, not that anyone will listen of course.

In London village.
Out of interest, does anyone know if Bassam is an advocate of handing over democratically accountable community schools to private business ?

That pic in the middle with the big shiner, I rekon that was the night she got pissed and told Jason that she voted Tory, hated animals and was going to buy a 2.5 litre BMW

Maybe it's time to get a question into Parliament on this. We have 2 weeks until they all break up for Christmas.
At least one 'question' each week is set aside for questioning MPs of smaller parties such as the greens.

This is exciting stuff.
It would appear that the Greens want to sell the site that the Albion want for car parking - in order to raise cash.

[MENTION=13823]jason[/MENTION]kitcat You haven't explained why you turned down the Albion's offer to build a new community centre & car park at no cost to the City.

[MENTION=21687]stevet[/MENTION]heQuip We haven't because that was not the offer. We need to sell land now to release cash, temporary plan not best for anyone.

Enlightening stuff. Presumably the whole thing will now be very high on the agenda after this very public sparring match.

Whatever else people might say about the Green Party ... we never got this sort of public exchange of opinions during earlier phases of the planning battle.

The singer of Scritti Politti is blocking Amex expansion plans? Why would he do that?

A waste of space in Westminster? Funny, the statistics suggest Caroline Lucas is actually rather hard working. From TheyWorkForYou: Hansard and Official Reports for the UK Parliament, Scottish Parliament, and Northern Ireland Assembly - done right
Has spoken in 74 debates in the last year — well above average amongst MPs.
Has received answers to 557 written questions in the last year — well above average amongst MPs.
Voted very strongly against increasing the rate of VAT.
Voted very strongly against university tuition fees.
Voted against raising England’s undergraduate tuition fee cap to £9,000 per year.
Voted against Labour's anti-terrorism laws.
Voted against replacing Trident.
Attendance:
307 votes out of 407 = 75.4%
Now you may have different views to her and her party but I think suggesting she is a waste of space in parliament is total nonsense. She was elected fairly to represent Brighton Pavilion and she's so far been sure to tow the party line, keep her promises and make herself heard.
I appreciate politics will ALWAYS divide opinion, but some of the vitriol reserved for the Greens on here is pretty pathetic in all honesty. And a great deal of it is hearsay. Fair enough if you don't agree with their policies and didn't vote them in, but don't start spouting nonsense to try and back up your own views.
The Green vote in Brighton has been increasing at every local election year on year. Do you really think that's due to change any time soon?

[MENTION=13823]jason[/MENTION]kitcat so in principle do you favour the expansion of capacity to 8,000 seats. That cannot be hard to say YES Too. Go on try the words
jasonkitcatJason Kitcat
[MENTION=21687]stevet[/MENTION]heQuip I support a successful #bhafc but yet to see details or a planing app so will see what they propose.
SteveTheQuipSteve Bassam
[MENTION=13823]jason[/MENTION]kitcat Ok but would you as a Green member support the extra 8,000 seats independent of planning yes or no.
We await the answer.

Why should he have to support an expansion, without seeing the case, when he needs to think of the wider effects and consider all people of the area?
Edit: OK. I am being thick. In principle...

It's a personal opinion and one not that particularly adds to the debate, but I'd struggle to vote for anyone who gives that amount of attention to their beard when there is a planet to save and a car park to be built.
