    I do like that idea tomtom. Here's a novel thought.........why not start electing people because of their qualities/acumen/intelligence and character. Not because they wear the right coloured tie, not because they can talk a good fight not because they say the right things, sometimes you have to say the wrong things to get stuff done!........Looking at what we have now I wouldn't follow any of them into a WC never mind a battle and its going to be a battle, no mistake there. .........so yes lets have a coup d'etat and we can do that through the ballot box........We need to form lobbying groups and we certainly need to be better informed.........How many council meetings have you been to Tomtom, have you seen whats going on in them?

    We need to get people impassioned about the political process again because that's where the decisions are made. We have allowed our politicians to get away with far too much for far too long! Instead of the communities dictating politics it's the political elite which dictates to the communities, that's the wrong way around! This is what happens when there is little or no oversight by a laissez-faire electorate or when the electorate abdicates its responsibilities.

    Tomtom/merc……………

    I kinda agree with points you both raise and respect where its due tomtom, being swayed only by the argument put forward by merc is a very mature frame of mind. Nice to see!

    Anyway I do think if we are going to get our Town going again we are going to have to do it ourselves! We have spent 50 years waiting for the 'great and good' to do what they have repeatedly promised, as Einstein said doing exactly the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is idiotic! It's time we broke that mould! ………… I would condemn the fact that there is no plan 'B' in place but then we are talking about Bedlington!!!!!!!!!!
