General Discussion
Or not, as the case may be. This Youtube clip is heavily cut and provides only a couple of short soundbites from what the Prime Minster was saying to his CBI audience. I've listened to this short speech 4 times and I don't hear him saying we will thrive - only survive. Hardly a ringing endorsement for Brexit. Perhaps someone could post an uncut version so that a more complete ...
I do not know whether Angela Fenne is a paid-up member of the Conservative party or not, but what I can tell you is that she has done a terrific job as a deputy mayor - and as a member and 'ex-officio' of a number of working groups and committees. Despite her work commitments (and those of her husband Greg) I am confident she will make an excellent mayor also, which was reflected in her being ...
I understand Burneside, that next year's Ukraine entry will feature a bit more 'boom-bang-a-bang'.
Now that's a question I would readily agree with a Eurosceptic upon. It was a good song though.
Good result for Ukraine in last night's Eurovision Song Contest. I voted for them because although you can't vote for your own country at least Ukraine begins with UK. Let's hope that in voting to leave the EU we don't find ourselves ending with it.
I would be the first to admit Margaret, that the EU is flawed and needs reform. But if we want to ensure that the sort of reforms that are good not just for Europe but for Britain are brought about, we should remain in the EU in order to help shape them. We will be powerless to do so once outside. Our Prime Minister David Cameron has made the classic mistake of over-promising and ...

On the other hand, Margaret, in jumping overboard we may just drown.
... but the issue of how (or if) the link road will be built has not gone away. Rumour has it that such matters are to be discussed at the Executive on 14th June. Below is a schedule of June meetings at Teignbridge at which a decision could be made: Planning 1 June 2016 9.45 am Executive 14 June 2016 10.00 am Planning 28 June 2016 9.45 am Agendas for each of these ...
So, making a broad assumption that the number of new affordable homes built in the Coalition years between 2010 and 2015 were delivered nationally at a ratio of 25% (the same figure as set for Dawlish) then the total number of homes built in that period would equate to 868,000 (217,000 / 25%). That would be an average of 173,600 total new builds a year, which I don't think is a mile away from the ...
