I try to make a constructive point and you reply with a flippant insult. Here’s a thought… perhaps it’s you that doesn’t get Bristol. A lot more people read the Post every than read this blog. Ever wondered why that might be?

It’s like those Rovers/City fans who are so blinkered that they can never see any good in the other team and would certainly never admit it even if they did see some good. I think the website would have more credibility if it offered some balance. But that’s just my view. Cue insults.

We used to get Travellers camp in the fields near us before the days of the MOD being built, and they were always nicking things from peoples gardens and so forth, I\’m not kidding, local crime would jump when they were around.

It\’s easy to dismiss this as daily mail reading hyperbole, and I don\’t deny the Evening Post is rightwing and racist (or I wouldn\’t follow your blog), but I don\’t feel this is inciting racial hared, it\’s just the sad reality that people around the Horfield and Filton area have had to deal with for years.

For once I have to disagree with you on this one, and dislike that you seem to slightly be inferring that a dislike of travellers virutally turns you into goose stepping jackboot clad rightwingers. It doesn\’t matter if 99% of Travellers are upstanding paragons of virtue, if the 1% that always camp near Horfield and Filton are criminals.

What’s so funny is that he gatecrashes other people’s websites with the sole purpose of sneering at something but then acts so prickly whenever anyone questions his view.

You read the Evening Pest so that the rest of us don’t have to. Thanks for providing us with a small antidote to the political line peddled by the Post. If your detractors don’t like you exercising your right to free speech, then they can always go to Iran.

Well, perhaps it’s Bristol you don’t get, then.

That is just too harsh. The BEP might do many things wrong but to say it misrepresents everything about Bristol is just unfair. I have no loyalty to the BEP, but I have lived all over the country and can tell you that, as local papers go, the BEP is pretty good and pretty fair. Perhaps that is your problem, your experience of the media is just not wide enough. It is a mainstream publication but it has many more diverse views than you seem to give it credit for. What I read on this site depresses me. You criticise the paper when it stands up for things and yet you slate it when it takes a stance against things – usually because they are things you have a different view on. I am a regular BEP reader. I think I know the paper pretty well. I am fairly intelligent, left-leaning and I really do not see the BEP as the biased, right-wing rag you seem to want it to be.

He manned and collected fees for many years on an unauthorized carpark
Is there ant truth in this.
I can’t find it in the Bristol Evening news archives.
Thank you
