You have created a nice focal point for debate. The majority of people appear to be posting honest opinions - even if they are not always correct. Although your editing ability on blogspot seems a little crude (the whole post or nothing) it appears to be generally working. I think small town politics require a little anonimity. If it works don't try to fix it.<br /><br />SOmetime ago I suggested that you expand the scope of this blog and invite others to participate by contributing articles. I think you should consider that (perhaps those people should have to identify themselves to you). <br /><br />Perhaps you should also consider getting some help on the technical side so you can activate other blog features...<br /><br />Meanwhile...well done for sparking the debate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-66311759149686672412010-07-07T08:42:05.844+02:002010-07-07T08:42:05.844+02:00Clive Golt's appointment is the best news I ha...Clive Golt's appointment is the best news I have heard in years.

He lost his employment with GBC to stand for election with the GSLP and some of you people would deny him that.
