@SASR666 I see they must have got to you first !!!

@Aardvaark_101 BOT

@SASR666 Ask anyone when was the last time they went to the library! They cant be bothered to vote let alone read a friggin book

@SASR666 @oldstinkyone And those beautiful buildings flogged off btw.

@SASR666 Posh people have a library in their home with plenty of books like in Downton Abbey so don't need public libraries. Only for poor people. In Shortands, Bromley, someone left the council a house full of books to be a library

@SASR666 I feel sure Tories if they continued in power would crack down on these platforms and we will be indiscernible from Russia.

@SASR666 They don't want people reading.

@SASR666 I'm sure that's true but if you quote a source that fact will be elevated...

@SASR666 Please. Get out and use them. We had a library threatened with closure. There was a march and they all went home. If half the people had taken a book out the library may have been saved. Even if you take one out and immediately return it.

@SASR666 We've still got ours but only just..I hope we don't lose it its a big part of our community, especially for the kids reading events

@SASR666 And his point was what exactly?

@SASR666 Tories don't like educated people. It makes them difficult to control.

@SASR666 People don't read books these days. They download from apps. Councils have shut them from all parties because they are old and past its sell by date. nothing to do with tories.

@SASR666 Libraries, not just for book borrowing, there’s access to a computer plus it’s a safe warm space. I spent many hours in my local library as home wasn’t conducive to studying.

@SASR666 Is that just Tory councils or labour lib dem noc councils?

@SASR666 Councils of all political hues across the country have closed libraries because hardly anyone uses them anymore.

@SASR666 No need to burn books if they are unavailable

@SASR666 I can only talk about by us but these have been replaced with multi use bright modern facilities also making them more efficient

@SASR666 For many children libraries are the only places they can get books! I have many a fond memory of my 70 year old father in law,with a six week old grandchild, reading a story to them, they grew up in a generation where reading and writing were not considered important life skills

@SASR666 I have tried to foster a love of reading into my children, not only books, but anything in print -the written word can make us smile, laugh, cry and be angry, but most of all it makes us feel something - no child should be denied access to books
