Local issues in Birmingham, Edgbaston
We're collecting local issues in Birmingham, Edgbaston. Some of these have been turned into questions to put to the candidates standing at the 2010 general election in the form of a questionnaire.
Issues are no longer being turned into questions, but we still want them! A good local issue will be about a problem of local relevance, possibly suggesting how something should have been/be done.
- Steven is a racist idiot who doesn't know the difference between Edgbaston & Ladywood.
- too many houses have been converted into flats which put a strain on residential parking
- Our MP, Clare Short, should stay on!!
- there is too much crime
- there are too many immigrants
- the traffic flow at the Five Ways Island needs to be sorted.
- The suburbs are being sold out to support the ambitions of the City Cabinet (source)
- "The decision has not yet been made" is as convincing as "Weapons of mass destruction" (source)

I was meeting a friend for coffee in Harborne High St, Harry Takhar was out campaigning with the election-mobile. I never heard of him before until today. Come to think of it, no local candidate featured has ever visited me personally to ask for my vote. Not that I am BIGOTED or anything, he he :) How about a new idea for a t.shirt? Bigots 'R' we ? on the front, and on the reverse, Just ask the PM and see! reply
