Everyone is free to contribute and we have set up some discussion forums for general discussion topics in England, Wales and Scotland to get some national debates and discussions going.

The good news about having a forum is you can get some good debates and discussions going. 

Yeah - once its fully up and running there will be some great debates and discussions.

I've been using the East Tytherley forum to publicise upcoming meeting agendas and asking for others to comment on what they would like discussed at the meetings too - http://www.thelocalchannel.co.uk/community/forums/p/107/148.aspx
