New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

[lodeyellow]

Is anyone, anywhere voting lib dem or green? I don't live in the area but wouldn't consider voting for them with this situation.

As someone who’s actually a member of the Lib Dems (albeit a rather semi-detached one - I deliver leaflets, and that’s about it), I would’ve voted for the party candidates today if we’d have had council elections in my part of Cambridgeshire. As it is, we just have an election for the Police and Crime Commissioner, which I always ignore.

My reason for supporting the Lib Dems is that they’ve the best chance of unseating the Tories where I live, in both local and national elections. I’ve utter contempt for the current Conservative Party and am depressed about the damage it’s done to the country over the last 14 years.

If I had a vote in Oxfordshire, because of the stadium issue, I’d most probably vote Labour if I wasn’t satisfied with the Lib Dem candidates’ position on the proposed development.

Incidentally, I wasn’t a member of the Lib Dems during the Coalition period of 2010-15.

Didn't Middleton want to head this "progressive alliance" as well?

When asked he was cautiously neutral on this question.

Telling that the Lib Dem/Green alliance are relying on anti-Tory rhetoric rather than the strength of their policies and achievements.

Turnout is expected to be very low - If you know anyone in the "Heyford and Fringfords" district, its on a knife edge according to the local Cllrs. Its a key district for the LibDems to win in Cherwell.

Get out and voting, dont rely on others!!

albeit its a City Council ward theres been queues since 9 am ish and a steady stream of voters ever since then where I am- ( I can see the polling station entrance)

My sister & hubby (in Kidlington) are taking my Uncle ( also in Kidlington) to the polling station... they're both ST holders and will 'do the right thing' my sisters hubby isn't a ST holder, though my sister tells me 'he'll do as he's told'

Progressive means run by an undemocratic North Oxford cartel now? When did they update that in the dictionary?

Who does his tweets reach so I done a bit of an experiment

Been and Voted.

There was a lovely LibDem lady, completely unprepared for the journey I took her on. She knew McIvor as being a bit of a busybody, didnt know she was involved in the FOSB and also was unaware of where the triangle was. She said a lot of people had been mentioning the stadium to her....and She needed to pass a message on to the Party.

Spot on Swiss, I spoke to someone in Bicester and said exactly the same, I think they are worried the reaction their fence sitting has caused

His interactions (his echo chamber) is pretty tiny in reality. This can be small if you follow a bunch of companies, celebrities, organisations rather than people.

He gets around 3-4k pairs of eyeballs on topics. I ran some metric data on my recent tweets and the numbers have shot up to just under 200k . Chatting to people, debating criticism and asking questions widens your window to the world.

Blocking and ignoring closes it.

Both are not perfect, both are very constricted echo chambers and can't give any kind of sense of what people outside twitter think.

Good. People's privacy is paramount.

Well, that's my Bank Holiday ruined. I was going to send a load of hate mail to all the people objecting to it because I'm a football fan, it's what I do and I want people to fear us for our reprisals.

(Just a bit of satire, Ian, keep your goatee on.)

I mean, it's very late to be doing it but removing people's addresses is absolutely correct. Why they were posted up there at all is a mystery. I suspect that IM will claim victory for that too ('I have been vindicated') but I suspect the reaction to the hate mail may well have swung it.

Must have missed the part where Ian Middleton was sent hate mail, when did that happen?

I should have been clearer there. IM hasn't been sent hate mail but was (in his words) pressing for CDC to redact addresses from the Planning Portal which I think we all agree with. His reasoning was that anti-stadium commentors were fearful of posting their comments because of reprisals from football fans.

He'll now proclaim some sort of victory again in this that it was his own brilliance that saw CDC redact the postal addresses. My suspicion is that CDC realised they were in the wrong when the hate mail letter was published in the OM.

There was no way that I was voting Green or PLeb/dim. But living in Wigan it won't make much difference.

Sorry, I was being a little sarcastic. It was more alluding to him making the hate mail story into a "poor little me" episode the other day.

Yes you are completely correct, IM will once again make it all about himself. It's what he does

They would get the same response as any political or religious caller. "shut the gate on the way out, NOW!"
