May 30, 201610 yr Your ignorance in that last post is utterly astonishing. My 'mates in the pub' are a bunch of intelligent, politically aware professionals from many different walks of life; your blanket dismissal is typical of your superior attitude, and serves little purpose in the discussion. For the record, and this is yet another display of ignorance on your part, you'll find few in Bedlingto in support of Mr Lavery; his core vote is from Ashington. I stand, firmly, by my point: people, in general, have lost interest.

I stand, firmly, by my point: people, in general, have lost interest. My ignorance about exactly what? I said probably based on clear statistics - once again you try to personalise things! You can only take the Ashington/Bedlington dichotomy so far; the evidence shows that there are still very significant numbers of Bedlington people whose political awareness is more in tune with the first half of the 20th century that the 21st! But, if you are saying that our unwilling pairing with Ashington is a huge drag, then I'm in 100% agreement. I'm not going to point up the obvious self-contradictions in the rest. If you are "turned-off" then please do turn off, and start a thread about something that turns you on! If this interests me I will join in, but if it doesn't there'll be no expression of sour grapes, or personalised attacks, from here!
