We are a blog set up to give the people of Stoke on Trent their say. Our blog is attracting large number of posts. It’s sad but a fact that the BNP are popular in Stoke. Our city has no middle ground to turn to when we are disillusioned with Labour or the Tories. Our blog is has attracted the BNP activists and we need opposing views please pass this on to all willing debaters! I will put a link to your site on our blog, please do the same for us. If you know the contact details of the local Libdems in Stoke, please mail me.
Regards,
Tony
