BBC programme turns spotlight on lack of suitable rented property for disabled people in Bath

“No personal abuse? What about this, for instance:

"Roger Symonds is, frankly, a disgrace to his position. Not only does he clearly have no interest in people who use methods of travel other than a bicycle, he yearns for every opportunity to lie, deceive and manipulate the vast majority in order to propogate his own narrow view.”

“is there anywhere a landlord that has a property to let and is interested in finding out more on how to make it more accessable or adaptable to disabled people go to find out what grants etc and where to market the fact that he has a sutible property to let ?”

“What a surprise, left wing people don't like reading centre right views.

Irrespective of the direction of the political argument, there is no excuse for smearing the person rather than debating the point. This tactic is tacit admission of failure. It says much about the person making the smear and nothing at all about their target.”

“He hasn't blown anything out of the water. He has pointed to a document that shows that the Government is aware of £3.2 billion of benefit fraud. That's just what they are aware of. Now £3.2 billion might seem like a small number to supporters of a political party that managed to generate a deficit of £78 billion before the recession started, but to the rest of us, thise thst actually give to the economy rather than just take from it, that is a huge number that needs to be rectified and the criminals dealt with. Having done that we then need to see who Labour signed off sick to buy their votes and get them off the unemployed statistics, separate them from the teat and get then standing on their own two feet. That is a much larger number and that is what Ian Duncan Smith is doing.

For my part, the gloves are now off. This website has been infiltated by a very small group of loud mouthed, left wing trolls who abuse anybody who takes up a position that is contrary to whst they prefer. Lacking the wit or intellect to debate in a civil manner, instead smearing and abusing the person making the argument. Completely unrepresentative of Bath and North East Somerset, an area that is hardly a bastion of hard left thought. It seems your attitude is that if you can't win the political argument you'll try to silence the individual making it. Which, to your credit, is a faithful replica of precisely whst Labour are doing in Westminster. the empty vessel reverberates loudest. Sickening, pathetic and despicable.”

“No need to resort to personal abuse; it's so much easier to abuse everyone at once with your odious views.”

“Just to add something Malcolm. It's not just these three who think your views are objectionable. Your idea that "most" people agree with you is delusional.”

“Eh?”

“And there we have left wing dogma in a nutshell. Or case. Think what I want you to think, say what I want you to say, or I will subject you to foul abuse. Authoritarian, totalitarian, militant and completely despicable. Fortunately very few parts of the world are run this way any more. North Korea and Zimbabwe. Pathetic that some people in this country still seek to impose this here. This is what Labour really means when it talks of one nation politics. Jackboot dictatorship.”

“I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me Mush66, although I certainly don't believe it is "most". However many do disagree with me, it is a very small minority who express this in terms of smears and personal abuse. I don't stoop to this. Many people who I disagree with don't stoop to this. You, Henry Crun and Moe consistently do. Why is this?”

“I have no problem with comprehending what you have written at all....I'm sure most would draw the same conclusions on your opinions, which is why most disagree with you..most of the time...”
