Opinion

  At the community forum we want to encourage debate and discussion  that covers a wide variety of issues. To have that debate and discussion  we need opposing views. We will respect those views and where they are  contributed in a proper written manner that will encourage genuine  debate and discussion we will publish them.

This paper is a great opportunity for budding writers and journalists to cut  their teeth before progressing on to bigger things.
