Well done Matt, nothing like giving out someones address on a public forum.

Matt Kent - why have you broadcast where Polly lives - doesn't she have any right to privacy ? Fancy telling everyone else your address ? It's well known that PT lives in Lewes, as do many other well respected journalists, actors, musicians etc, but they all deserve a private life, too.

You've answered your own question there, surely? 
She's not in the jungle because she is famous enough to not need be.

Thanks for removing that remark, Webbo. Very disappointed in Matt Kent. You've now lost the Green Party a vote.

A very sensible removal. I'm more interested in the fact that Polly Toynbee chooses the Con Club as a watering hole for quite different reasons. But then she won't be the only socialist that darkens its True Blue doors.

Now there is a surprise. She who rants on about the injustice of the changes to the housing benefits system owns two houses. Perhaps she would be kind enough to provide accommodation for a displaced Londoner in her Lewes property.

This is where having a completely open forum can be a problem. Anyone can type any screen name they want. So it could well have been someone else using Matt's name.
Perhaps having the site changed so you have to register and log-in would be a much safer option. You would then, at least, be sure that you were conversing with who you thought you were.

Matt Kent was posting on this forum on another thread that he initiated at around the same time last night. Webbo will be the only person to know if it was indeed him. Or maybe Matt could speak for himself and confirm / deny!
And I think PT said in her Viva Lewes interview that her children live in her house in Lewes, so it's not an empty second home.

She also has a Villa in Italy and leaves dirty great carbon foot prints jetting to and fro. Yes she sent one of her brood to private school but the story of her own educational failure and use of nepotism to bag a job that is really funny.
Good read though, always gets me nice and outraged.

I start typing "Ashley..." into the Name box and it automatically brings up the "Cllr" version. Better to stick to being one name on here than keep changing.
You could ask why do so many people use a made up screen name on here rather than their real first name? Have they something to hide?

Not so much something to hide as nothing to promote. Or perhaps that should be self-promote?
Incidentally, you can always take your box firmly in hand and refuse to allow such assumptive nonsense. Every time it pops up with this "Cllr" malarkey, just say no.

quote PN
'the story of her own educational failure and use of nepotism to bag a job'. Doesn't that apply to half the CEO'S in this country ? Apparently many of them either didn't finish their degrees or never took them. Educational 'failure' is no barrier to success (see Richard Branson and others).

@Brixtonbelle. Without actually listing her address I vaguely described where she lives in Lewes, whilst making a flippant comment about the colour of her front door (making reference to her political bias). I realise that this was a unusual and regrettable moment of foolishness in my part, for which can only apologise. I intend to write to her offering my apologies.

Matt - nice that you owned up and apologised but I think you are being a little disingenuous. Anyone who lives in Lewes would have been able to precisely identify where she lives from your 'vague' description, which gave the street name, the name of the premises opposite and the colour of her front door (just so no one was confused). I now know exactly where she lives. Sorry if I sound like a pedant, but it was a real intrusion of privacy and a stupid thing to do from a local politician (who she may have even voted for).
