“Thanks Mr Dhanha for the heads up.
Rachael'Kingsholm. Speaks for me with more eloquence than I can muster.
I do recognize the need for economic growth, could the "Triangle" find profit and also filter revenue into the city by other means?”

“I was in Belfast recently and discovered that they had an incinerator almost in the centre of the city, planned to build another to compliment the first one,and quess what? nobody was trying to stop either!
There are very large incinerators all over the continent, it is only in this country that when something is to be built for the benefit of everyone, that same people scream, we don't want "that" here.
If it would have been left to them we would all be living in sod houses with grass roofs!”

“I support this petition and thank Parmit Dhanda for leading on this. It is so clearly not in the interests of Gloucester as a city or its residents to have an incinerator in the city centre. It certainly won't help to smarten Gloucester's image as a tourist destination for one! However, a principal reason for objecting is that given the current significant concerns about climate change, Gloucester County council should focus on more environmentally friendly ways of reducing waste, rather than pouring more carbon into the air around us. As well as improving recycling and composting facilities in the city, we need to encourage more innovative ways of waste reduction, such as ensuring all packaging is recyclable in the first place. My black bin is practially empty each week and my green bin is full becuase we make every effort to avoid buying unnecessary packaging that will end up in the bin. Companies in the city also need to play their part to recycle everything they can and reduce their own waste impact on the city. My company recycles all waste paper, cardboard, tins and plastics and has recently introduced compost bins for staff to recycle their food waste as well.”

“WUP is short for 'wind up purveyor', of course...”

“You really want to have your cake and eat it, don't you, 'Jerry'? When I see you trying to have a 'full debate' with anyone else, I'll consider the possibility that you aren't just a WUP from Pullman Court. Crack on, now.”

“Joe, we clearly have very different opinions of PD. In my few dealings with him I have found him to be a decent man and he has been very helpful to me. I disagree with much in your latest post. However when I've tried to debate these points with you in the past you accuse me of some sort of victimization. This is not the case. I only wish to express on this comment board that your opinion of PD is not held by everyone and to highlight cases where I do not think your analysis is fair or backed up by evidence.

I find it odd that you are very keen for a full debate to happen on PD's blog but take offence when I disagree with your views on this site.

I'm sure that we both agree that our exchanges to date have been pointless. Therefore I will cease in attempting any attempt to debate your opinions with you. However I reserve the right to state when I disagree with posts including those written by yourself without having my opinions dismissed as a personal vendetta.”

“And the same goes for TiG. Can't describe our MP as what is, because that's not allowed. So I'll keep it to the bare minimum two paragraphs, the part that needs saying:

(To Jerry) 'You know, I think he *could* find space to mention that Defra and the Environment Agency don't have a problem with incineration if he *really* wanted to. After all, he's the MP that wants a big discussion with the electorate in all the towns and cities, but if I say anything on his blog about the agencies above, it 's swiftly deleted. A discussion cannot be had. Party propaganda only. You should post something there. It's looking a little deserted.

'If you do, though, don't expect to find more than half truths. Dhanda says the council accused him of 'scaremongering', for example, when they made it very clear that that phrase had been used by the Citizen, and there's no mention on his latest entry of the primary reason for their censure, that he used tax papers' money for party political purposes.'

Any chance of leaving that this time, TiG? In fact, why not provide a link to Parmjit Dhanda's web site, to encourage reader/constituents to contribute their views and be seen to do so? You might even get a story out of it...”

“It is what it is, Ron. A viewpoint.

And the blog may be similar to others. The proof of the pudding is in posting something critical, however mild, and seeing how long it stays up...”

“So, is the only objectition to PD that he came from 90 miles away?”

“Will trucks bringing waste block roads with emergency ambulance traffic on them?”
