Have just done a quick analysis of the swanageblog home page. Pier Head 56 comments, Anti Social Behaviour 70 comments - 12 other subjects, excluding "new subject" these having from 0 to 13 comments, average 4.4.
Looks like Swanage comment might be polarised between the "haves" and "have-nots".

have and have nots ? its just fun to take the mickey out of the gaurdian readers, hope they dont have children as under this govt. its the worst place to bring them up.
???? Don't think you have been paying attention. Its the countries that do the things the grauniad readers support that have come out well in this report and those chose the right wing route like the UK that come out badly. Lets hope the next government moves leftwards towards the European model and gives our children a decent start in life. We know it works. Child poverty has only halved under Blair. Thats not good enough.
Do I count for being taken the mickey out of as an Observer reader? Hope so because can't think of anything worse than being aligned to a Telegraph or Times or Mail or Express reader!
Ok, it is a good paper.
Please could you let me into the secret of how you make it last a whole week.
By supplementing it with The Guardian of course :)
now that you have admitted that you will be vilfied in every parish of swanage.
be prepared, dib, dib.
The time warp element of life in Swanage is always fun. It must be the only place left where you can expect to be taken seriously when you talk as if the milk and water views expressed in the Guardian were dangerously radical. Its not just the architecture that stopped in 1914.
and the nice thing about Swanageview is reading the postings of people who have a wonderful ability to believe two self contradictory things at the same time. Here are some recent examples:
Education makes you an idiot.
Not using a restricted vocabulary proves you are an idiot.
I could go on. Its the crazed perspective he puts forward I like. Guardian readers support Blair's policies do they? Like invading Iraq? Like retaining grammar schools, like chickening out of democratising the house of lords? As for selling honours, well the vast majority of Guardian types would simply do away with the whole absurd system of gongs, titles, royalty, nobility, gentry and associated rubbish,
I'm not a fully paid up Guardian reader, tho' I dabble occasionally.
Wasn't it Einstein - surely, no idiot - who said, the more I learn the less I know?
In a forum such as this shouldn't try to keep our language to a fairly everyday standard?
A very subjective standard I know, but shouldn't we try to include as many people as possible?
praps if we f6ck78g well use f%^c&*$g chav speak, then they'll cum an fu64i8g well fu87i9g join us.
Wouldn't that be nice!
Sadly, I agree with the last paragraph, so Ill jus fu65INg well F%c% off.
CU in town, midnight, bring yer eff8in5 pruning shears,
In the end it doesn't matter where our info comes from.
10:33 has it pretty much right.
The problem is that it means higher income tax.
If you look at France their Income tax is around about 40%.
English response - I'll leave that up to you.
Better Health Service, better Trains, better Roads etc, etc.
That means paying more tax - why's that a problem?
I want my kids to get a good start in life.
I want good roads.
I want to be looked after when I'm old.
40% tax - yeah that's good.
Just in case - GB currently 38%

Can anyone explain?
Dear 9.35
Quite simple. The mindset of a fair proportion of Swanage inhabitants is stuck in the world of decades ago. There is something about the place that attracts people who don't like the changes the rest of the country copes with. It used to be colonel Blimp types, retired from the Indian army but now its very much Mr and Mrs Blimp.
