How dare you accuse me of reading the Mirror Matthews! Where's your evidence? C'mon how can you make such a claim? It's preposterous. I thought you might've liked that grandiose name, surely a serious point about judging others can be made in jest. Do all right wing minded people lack a sense of humour?

I was told by a Tory town councillor that I should vote for the person and not the party at local level. I also suggested they run as an independent. They talked about themselves a lot, talked ill of others, moaned about young people today, said they were a capitalist, explained that they voted Tory because their father had and that is how they were brought up (so no really thought or critical ...

All new builds should have solar panels or solar thermal and subsidies given to householders to buy solar PV/thermal. also advances in lithium batteries could mean that power produced and not used directly can be stored in situ and not fed back into the grid. Of course all of that would mean that the big 6 and private supposedly 'green energy' firms wouldn't be able to make a profit from what is ...

I had a lovely walk earlier today and I thought how beautiful Devon is in the springtime, then my mood changed somewhat and became darker as my thoughts turned to the impending civil war.

On my letter, the bottom of the page reads.. Printed, published and promted by S. Morgan for and on behalf of Richard Younger-Ross and Newton aboot Liberal Democrats at 41 Higher... The Liberal Democrats HQ. The same text that appears in all their literature. It's clearly not written by Richard Weeks and it is so transparently authored by the likes of Wrigley and Taylor. It's not even subtle, it's ...

If the Tories won under PR I'd respect it as the outcome of a legitimate and democratic process. But I wouldn't like it Just because I'm anti Tory, it does not make me pro-Labour. Are some of you that ignorant? And the SNP would've won a majority in Scotland regardless of which electoral system was used. The near future might clearly indicate that most Scottish people do not want to remain in the ...

That's great as the winter fuel allowance does help a lot of peeople or low incomes (it helps a lot who are comfortably well off come to think of it too). Though my point was about materials that might make your home energy efficient to run but aren't really eco at all. If energy efficiency is just about financial savings then it's not automatically eco. Although it can be, but that depends on ...

Putting words in your mouth in a written, online exchange?? Hardly. Bizarre. Check your inbox, then you might understand why we've fallen out. Some people are worth falling out with, such as dodgy local politicians. This is just a waste of both our time. Good night

Why were you juming up and down? What do you think the Tories will do that is so good in the next 5 years. for the collective good of the country that is, not just for an individual lets say.

Well put Fred Bassett. Hopefully the election result  will be the start of real political change, not the end a false democratic process that people only get a chance to engage in once every five years. 'One nation' what a joke. The first past the post system is the modern day version of Charles I's divine right to rule. It does not and should not have anything to do with democracy as it ...

You live on a coastal flood plain and you're going to raise your home above sea level?? seriously though this is good, community working.

I thought things would get worse, this is a black day for 'Great'  Britain. If I had to sum up the Tories surprise majority, which I definitely didn't expect. Then I'd use a military/war analogy. it's as if the Liberal democrats decided to fight for the wrong side for 5 years against Labour, then hand the Tories all their arms, then attempt to attack the Tories (a little bit but not so much to ...

Agreed, they also had an opportunity to put themselves forward as a real alternative party, but played it safe in my opinion. But then there's a thin line between alienating or scaring voters and devising a vision to inspire. I think they underestimated how difficult it was to argue on matters other than tackling austerity and the economy. But then again the party's roots are  middle class. Still ...

I agree with Mcjrpc. Gary Taylor just avoids the real issues, such as Younger Ross's extravagant misuse of public funds, using Warren Farm for political points scoring, using Cockwood Residents Association and the Parishes of Starcross and Kenton for political games of chess, the incompatibility with their local Liberal Democrat stance on housing provision and development and the subservient role ...
