Oakham People, Leicester Mercury

A short time ago I received a begging  email  from Charles who is responsible for this site

http://www.oakhampeople.co.uk/home

I was asked to post some of my stories and photographs, at first I said know because my experience of the admin was not a good one.

Yesterday I decided to post this blog post

http://martinbrookes.blogspot.com/2011/10/mob-vendetta-continues-in-rutland.html?showComment=1318286621225#c1982356334287449377

This morning it was deleted and my account blocked.

So when the site invites you to post any views or moans about your council don't believe it.
Keep your moans to late bin collections and you will be fine.

I will no longer be using the WebSite oakhampeople.co.uk after receiving a email from them.

I wonder when the people or are determined to spoil everything I do will give up.

I included a link to my blog and so people could see the photographs I took of our new Mayor. 

I was told in a email from the site owners I could include my a blog link in my posts.

Someone has complained what a surprise, they are really very sad. They spend there life observing my internet activity and complaining at every opportunity. 

The non use of their site is no loss to me, it appears to be monopolised by a few users like most other Oakham, Rutland sites
