I think your name contains an adjective describing how most of us felt after reading this article.

This must mean a lot more to those that live on the Small Islands near Europe.

His name doesn't contain any adjectives. But yes, I think this article is centered around an issue that most people here know nothing about. It could have used a bit more clarification.

Well, since Jane M. is Irish, it probably means something to her.

It would be nice to know what were the issues over which there was disagreement, and why these people gave so much weight to what this specific blogger wrote.

Of course, you can always just randomly tap buttons on your keyboard and hope it comes out to an article.

I think the fact that a single blogger can have such an effect means a lot, no matter what the location.

Well, it'd be nice to know what the whole thing was about. Was this guy just the UK-blogging equivalent of Rush Limbaugh, heckling government for whatever no-good reason? Was there some kind of legitimate controversy over the council's behavior?

Yes, England could use some men in black to deal with individual such as this.

BTW, happy Halloween. Don't know if the smaller island further away from Europe celebrate this but happy weekend.

Pretty much, if the councilors are speaking truthfully, the blogger is calling the council members various names, such as rascists, or "The Ugly Sisters," in regards to two of the council members.

Of course, the blogger says that the hostility aimed at the council is really generated by their own ineptitude, and not his blog.

I really had no idea what this article was about without any form of context.

I wish I could be a big enough jackass (I mean this in a good way) to have half my city council to resign. No more spending money on stupid endeavors that only benefit a minority of people.

Heres the link to the blog http/muckandbrass.blogspot.com/ . ,, I think this is about a board that has mismanaged money from a town for the past ten years for there own interests , you know the saying " power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" . The counsel was pushing somethng the town opposed and it was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak, its a win for the man who published the blog,as he got his community involved and changed the downward spiral the town was heading ,

Something to mention about the blogger is how I read about his windows getting smashed and car torched on fire by some people who were displeased about his blogging I wonder who they could have been ,perhaps one of the twelve that left the counsel.
