its now available to listen back to via rad ox website- to save trawling through 4hours here's the times for the relevant parts...Firstly to stick up for Rad Ox with this feature, they didn't need to focus on the football ground as a central issue a few days prior to local elections so big tick to them bringing this into the discussion as there are lots of other things that are going on which many would argue are more important in life.
Greens - They are set on a specific agenda whether locally, nationally or globally so you have to respect their stance even if their supporters do come across unnecessarily aggressive about it. They can't see the bigger picture in which we all have to live though, and they have this crazy utopian view that if we follow everything they say then hey presto the world crisis is solved overnight. I don't have to agree with it but that is their belief and it hasn't changed so fair play.
Labour - have the experience to see beyond this just being a football stadium located in Kidlington and can see the benefits beyond the county. Fully supportive of the new stadium but didn't really have much else to say.
Lib Dems - a continuing horror show from these guys who are becoming embarrassing to listen to. Rad Ox presenter pushed back on the comparison of closing the road outside the stadium for 30-45 minutes and the LTNs preventing people going about their daily lives anyway so what is the difference. To which the Lib Dem councillor said that was a matter for County Council so ask them, nothing to do with him. But the County Council is his party, he should know, he should be consistent with the overall plan for the party, if elected he will need to work with these people and they are even on his side! Apparently they will need to consider the views of both sides before deciding whether to come and and support or not support. So what have they been doing for the last 18 months? All the opinions are released now, if they can't answer the question yet then they are totally out of touch with local feeling and don't deserve to be anywhere near running a local council, county council, or god forbid national government after the last coalition Lib Dem lies when they accepted a power grab in 2010. Avoid this lot at all costs.
Tories - good points well made again following the same point of view as Labour but being able to expand on it with concise and more critical points. I just feel that on this occasion it would have been nice if it was someone who was not a die hard fan as well had said these things.
