That advert up the top (yellow - you can't miss it)..........

Oh yes! They've only put it on the front page of the site.

I wonder why!!!

You have to click on the Gransnet banner to see it.

I had never thought of clicking on the banner - thanks for the hint.
I don't mind the advert.

It will bring revenue into the site will it not wotsa ? surely that is a good thing ?

Ok. So when is it going to be Boris's turn?

They ought to be even handed.

I hope they're going to balance it with a Vote for Boris banner soon!

Oops! Great minds, jingl....!

This site ought to be non-political, apart from threads.

This site is getting far too left wing. (And I vote labour) (though wouldn't vote for Ken for London)

None of my business - I don't have a vote in London; but should we be seen as overtly supporting a particular party?

My point exactly Annobel!

Quite!

Does accepting a paid advert imply support for the advertiser?
(I don't support Labour, they are far too right wing for me.)

Thanks, Cari.

Over to you, Boris!

Osborne needs to clarify his position - this is possibly the best forum for him to reach pensioners.

I have sent an email to Boris, and one to his administrators.

Good thinking (and acting!) - thanks!

Greatnan agree with both your last two posts

Advertising is one thing, appearing to support a particular political party/persuasion is another matter entirely. I think political adverts should be avoided entirely.

That looks like a Gransnet endorsed advert - you can hardly miss it. Personally, I am happy for it to stay as it fits my own view, but I don't think all Gransnetters would be happy with that, unless all the other eligible parties could also advertise - BNP anyone???? Uggh!

I demand parity for the vjp!

Me too! (But I don't think we've got a credible manifeto yet - things got a bit out of hand at last night's party meeting....

SNP anyone? Plaid Cymru? .........

I notice no one's rooting for the LibDems.....
