General Discussion

Why does everyone resort to nastiness on here, accusing people like me of being another person? I should not be attacked for expressing my views, be they about my town or the council. I do not like many of our councillors and what they do, but this does not give Mr Deacon and others the right to attack me. After all, we live in a free country.

Why do you lie?

Can anything be done to stop such people lining their pockets with money meant for good causes? I have never trusted Mr Prothero, he has always seemed shifty to me. And i don't much like the ex Mayor, she seems very stuck up. Heaven knows why, she is such a commoner. Never trust those who think they are better than others.

Why do people who want change always get their way? What is so wrong with tradition? I'm glad i'm not young, as this world is obsessed with constant change and shallow things like celebrity. Very few people these days seem to have any depth. We are going nowhere fast.

That's just snobbery. Every resort ends up being the same, just like the uniform shopping centres we now have. Why does everything have to be upmarket? Is that just another excuse for those that are obsessed by making money, to make some more? Anyway, with the present credit crisis we have maybe somewhere that is cheap and cheerful is what people want.

I send money to the RSPB. I wouldn't trust anyone collecting on the street. I think it's disgusting that these people collect money just to take a percentage for themselves. They should be ashamed of thereselves.

Is Mr Bailey being attacked because he doesn't run with the clan? I get the feeling there are a lot of snobs in Dawlish who are forgetting the cheap holiday roots of their town. Dawlish would not survive if it only had gastro pubs and street cafes like France. Besides....us Brits are not as sophisticated as Europeans when it comes to cafe culture. What next? Get rid of fish and chip shops ...
