It could be one of the most important meetings in a long time!

Whether we end up in or out of the EU, a referendum is not going to happen next month. However, next month a meeting is happening where, if the Prime Minister chooses to back this campaign, we could start saving money straight away! This is a common-sense campaign, whether you are a eurosceptic, europhile or eurorealist!

I absolutely agree with Brandon, if you take away the the parallel tracks that run through stations then they are at the end of the day prime property, usually situated in the very heart of our towns and cities - and in such cases they should be treated as such.

Aside from the large donors that will be queuing up, I am sure there are thousands of people around the country, myself included, would like to make some contribution towards this scheme however small in celebration of our monarchy; but especially for a wonderful Queen who has served her country so well.

If I was a Labour candidate, member or voter I would want nothing to do with Mr Reid or his idiotic comments. Someone who trivialises such things is unworthy of standing for election or representing constituents. However I will continue to positively campaign in Swindon on the achievements of the Conservative run council and its vision for the future; I will leave it up to the electorate to decide Mr Reid's fate.
