I am going to have to calm down the comments being made. If you want to make anonymous posts that attack me or other people personally then you are at the wrong site for now. If you want to participate in that way then I am afraid that until the date of the election you are going to have to give me a genuine name and contact address.
It is a little sad that I need to do this but I gather that Cllr Mary Reid in Chessington has also had to take the same approach.

Kevin,
This week I posted a few comments on your blog that questioned you personally. I was happy that you had the political virtue to put them up, and I was relieved to see that this was a blog on which I could air my political opinions, and pose political questions, freely.
However, your latest blog has filled me with a certain degree of apprehension. If comments are offensive then I understand the need for some form of censorship. But this is politics Kevin, and the term ‘offensive’ needs defining.
What content are we not seeing on your blog? Lately your blog has been characterised by repeated attacks on anything Lib Dem. This is perhaps justifiable given the imminent elections. But are we getting the full picture? Is this blog a political discussion forum, or is it a propaganda vehicle for the Conservative Party, and more specifically, Councillor Kevin Davis?
I think you are misunderstanding what a blog is. A blog is not a diary nor is it a discussion forum for others to come to attack both the author and other unrelated issues.
A blog is short for weblog and is a "personal Web site that provides updated headlines and news articles of other sites that are of interest to the user, also may include journal entries, commentaries and recommendations compiled by the user."
I had this same problem during the General Election and had to turn off the comments section. Cllr Mary Reid (Lib Dem) has recently done the same and a number of blog authors who were parliamentary candidates also had to do the same.
This is my personal site, I am a Conservative and therefore there will be frequent issues I blog about which will include the Lib Dems.
