That's tough talking. Depends on who you think started the bitching in the first place.


Other blogs, such as Slugger O'Toole, use the football analogy of playing the ball not the woman and give yellow and then red cards for persistent abuse. Recipients of red cards are then barred from commenting for something like three weeks and then pointedly welcomed back. Might be worth a try?


There are very good reasons why I am happy to stand by my own comments but now reserve the right to censor those made by others - particularly when referring to third parties.


I suspect it was the local torys who were the trouble makers. I was quite shocked at some of the comments made during the election campaign. At least this nasty bunch is out of the way for the next five years.


Does Mr Sowerby personally know the 22,340 who voted for Caroline Nokes and does he classify them all as a 'nasty bunch'.I thought that our hostess was going to censor such things.


Peter Sowerby. If there is anyone who is nasty, its you. It wouldn't be surprising if you worked out of the Liberal Campaign office or tore down the odd poster or two like you said you were going to. I'm probably going to get censored now.


Wrong on all counts. I am a labour party member who voted tactically for the lib dems.
The Tory posters were taken down by yourselves to get publicity for your candidate. I feel it would be better if you did not nail your election posters to trees as it annoys people who care and show respect for our environment. **Censored by SG because of a specific reference to a third party.

Poor Mr Sowerby,he really does have this 'thing' about the 'Tory drinking club'.Has his application for membership of the Romsey Conservative Working Men's Club been blackballed in the past?Who knows....
I do think that he should be appointed to their Christmas lights committee however,so that he can bring his own particular skills to bear.


I have photograph evidence that the yellow and red light bulbs on the Romseys conservative club christmas trees were switched for blue bulbs at christmas 2003. Come on tory boy deny it.


** unfounded allegation - removed by SG **. Pity he wasn't accidentally nailed to a tree when posters were being put up.

I have deleted this post because I don't think it is very nice to refer to anyone as a "fat tosser" unless there is specific proof provided.....

as much as i wouldnt want negative comments on MY blog, i wouldnt consider censorship to save my pride. that's a lot cos where i'm from (singapore) they censor almost everything.

it just shows that you're getting a reaction from your readers, that's all.

PS. is everything in your blog political? i may not be able to fathom your position with the liberal democrats but it seems that your party is your life. no offense.

PPS. just in case you dont know where singapore is, its in southeast asia. half the people i talk to have no idea so i resign to tell them that its right next to china.


I thought censorship was against one's own human rights. The liberals are so into human rights these days that indeed the Human Rights Act itself gives one the right to have the freedom of expression. Also, it gives the right for one to remain anonymous too. Sandra therefore can't have it both ways.


Free speech does not include comments that are offensively directed at another person with no foundation. That is called libel.


Calm down peeps. I have been forced to edit comments which referred to somebody by name. I have kept most of Mr Sowerby's comments and referrals to him as he is well able to answer for himself but have removed specific third party references.

So please treat each other with a little respect. xx


Oh god, it's the "Respect" word again, something that is all but lost in this country, not forgetting New Labour! I've just used God as a third party. Is that going to be censored too?


I don't think God is likely to sue so you are alright and I don't think the comment is blasphemous either..


Maybe God has a lawyer called Cherie.


At least you and your supporters didn't get your Constitution ratified. What have you got to say about that?


Romsey Voter. Have you ever tried Hopi Ear Candles? I hear they're really calming.....


Constitution - mine's quite healthy thanks....


Hopi Ear candles. Enlighten me on their calming properties.


Using a linen candle, creating a vacuum which allows all the gunk to be evacuated from your ear, which allows you to hear more clearly in the first instance, and even after frequent uses can help with clearing all sinus passages.

In your case I think you'd benefit you might start hearing less Tory nonsense, and might start hearing some sense for a change....


jessie, I think you need to get some help...


Bless

You're not AHM from Vote-2005 are you?


Never heard of him. I'm actually quite nice once you get to know me!


Fundamental problem though. My bottom line is a stunning size 10, and very pert but it wouldn't want to get to know a Tory...

Hey ho.


Did I say that I was a Tory? Do you judge everyone by their political leanings over their looks and personalities? If you do then you lead a very shallow life. Think about it.

Hey ho!


Nope it's about core values for me, which are usually reflected in an individual's personality.

So if you aren't a Tory who did you vote for?

Looks really aren't that important. Mind you when you have looks, charming personality and an LibDem membership card what more can you want?


At least you have a sense of humour, despite having a LibDem card. You could have a donor card to go with it if you haven't already got one.


Oh yes I have a sense of humour. Being an LD voter laughter is frequently necssary. Apart from of course May 6 in Romsey where genuine smiles were all the rage for the yellow peril!!!!

Guess what, being a wooly Liberal I also have a donor card.

Note you didn't answer the question though?


I thought laughter was hard to come by in any kind of politics. May 6th was nothing to get carried away with. Anyway, this site has lived on as a result and it's become a place to meet interesting people. No, I didn't answer the question.


'No, I didn't answer the question.'

You're a Tory then. Not answering the question.

And thinking laughter being hard to come by in politics, again a Tory trait.....

Never mind! Keep posting we'll convert you!


Yes, I really do think you need help!
