As I think is the case with much of what he does, his heart is in the right place, even when the execution is lacking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree..I think he genuinely means well but it would appeal to a much bigger audience if he gave a little more insight or opinion on some of the impending or decided issues.. That would probably mean skirting the cosy Cabinet and departmental closed shop which would be a brave but welcome move. Need someone to stir it up and ask the questions that everyone is afraid to ask....Like what about the Airport Radar ...Rob Callister ?? Chris Thomas said a announcement was forthcoming in March ...nothing !!! I dare you Rob to ask the question ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be something you subscribe to not something that is thrust into your face as a social media user. At least the PAG stopped reposting it some time ago. I presume as it’s general lack of substance was of little interest to anyone interested in political or social progress. Can't you block posts or posters?

After the first few, I just ignored them. Not because I dislike him, just that I know what the format will be and it doesn't interest me. If he could narrow the content down to more important key topics then a few more may just take the time to read them instead of just blanket hating him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You responded argumentatively when I made the same point earlier. Do you intend to come across this way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen Spy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Not content with spamming all the groups, I've just noticed he is also distributing his blog as a "sponsored" ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
