Wolborough Fen named jewel of English nature by Guardian https://www.middevonadvertiser.co.uk/news/wolborough-fen-named-jewel-of-english-nature-by-guardian-799519 "A SITE of Special Scientific Interest in Newton Abbot has been named as one of the Guardian’s ten jewels of English nature at risk from the development. The Guardian describes the Fen and the other sites as ...
@Carer , would you say that there's absolutely no need for for food banks, breakfast clubs in Schools to feed malnourished children and winter fuel allowances so a large proportion of pensioners don't freeze to death each winter? Which reality do you refer to? Your own or that of wider society?
So get businesses that directly benefit from tourism to pay for it. Are we living in times of austerity or not? I don't see the tourist trade having such a positive impact on the wider community, we have to pay higher water bills to deal with the seasonal increase in sewage and the impact on local beaches. Council tax in Dawlish is the among the highest in the area, I don't see the tourist trade ...
@Steve It'll be going on in this country because it's profitable. The RSPCA turn a blind eye to cruelty against animals every single day of the year from farming to horse racing. What makes anyone think they'd intervene in the halal slaughter of animals?
The money could be spent on much more worthwhile things. Painting that shabby railway viaduct for example. No money to reinstate the other Manor Gardens bridge, but there is money for a statue of Brunel??
@Paul Which mainly concerns you? Animal welfare in general or simply at the point of slaughter? Or Jewish and Muslim practice of eating the flesh of animals that aren't stunned prior to slaughter?
@burnside That's the Liberal Democrat modus operandi locally. Rosie Dawson prevents free speech as former Chair of the district Council. Wrigley and his cabal ignores the needs and concerns of traders in Queen St Newton Abbot, market traders over changes to the indoor market, then there's the theatre campaign and local people concerned about the housing sprawl and loss of countryside containing ...
Another BS filled post on our MP's Facebook page today. He 'came into politics with a desire to help people' ? And 'make their lives better '? WTF? Not according to his elderly neighbour, he has no desire to make her life better. In fact she says he's the worst neighbour she's ever had. He's full of it. It's sickening, shameless self-promotion by a deluded arrogant fool who ...
@1263 I don't see how any government can stop anyone hostile getting into the country. Whether that's a jihadist entering amongst those seeking asylum or Russian agents. Hostile groups already exist within the British citizenry anyway. What about British citizens who are radicalized and become hostile? Even if the boats could be stopped it wouldn't stop British born Jihadists and British born ...
@Paul Here's what the link shows. Both are correct I just viewed it a day later. So the 58 on the 10th May wasn't included And yes, the number is irrelevant. So you reckon every singe one of the is either a jihadist soldier, child rapist or murder then? Do you mostly stay at home with all your doors locked and the curtains drawn? @Paul I'm no fan of the BBC either. Do ...
