General Discussion

On Radio 4's consumer program 'You and Yours' (01/07/2008), it was stated that some catering establishments (pubs/restaurants/takeaways) may be using a blend of Vegetable oil which includes GM modified Corn oil. According to Trading Standards, if this is the case, these establishments should be displaying this information on their menu's and on prominent signs. Keep your eyes peeled.

With many of our councillors running businesses, perhaps this 'unit for youth' is being geared up as a minimum wage finishing school? After all, council decisions usually end up benefiting councillors personally.

Corrupt Councils

Response to Joey Deacon (also know as; chicken shed/seagull/joe orton) I fully understand the meaning of the word bigot and you encapsulate it perfectly. You also, appear to live in a world of cliche and generalisations, the domain of bigotry. Time to reappraise yourself perhaps?

You are a bigot Joey Deacon! The intolerance to anyone or anything that does not fit your agenda, seeps out of every word you type. I decipher "GET A LIFE" to mean 'keep your nose out of our business. I would like to meet you, to put you right on many counts...but i envisage a man entrenched in bigotry and heading for the door marked obsolete; therefore, sadly, i would not be able to help you.

Corrupt Council?

This is scandalous and illegal. I trust this will be investigated and reported in our local press? It should be,as this is an affront to the people of Dawlish, who have put their trust in this man. First of all it was the trees and now this illegal sale of land. Mayor Protheroe should be made to resign from council duties for such abuse of his position. Heads must roll.

Agree, especially when you take into account we now have a reporter on our local paper who is likely to show huge bias towards his council colleagues and mayor.

I'm not anti Lib Dem. I'm anti collusion and corruption. Would you defend your political party regardless of what they do?

The front page of this weeks Dawlish Post hails the arrival of Tom Scobie, as the new Town and Villages Reporter of the Dawlish Gazette. At first, this appointment appears innocuous, but closer inspection raises the concerns that council/mayoral reportage may not be impartial. Mr Scobie sat alongside councillor Protheroe on the local council, both of them Lib Dem. Mr Protheroe is now mayor of ...

That's because you allow those morons to run it! Start by questioning and demanding transparency from your local councillors then work your way up to politicians. They are all corrupt in some form or other.....but if enough people put pressure on them then they crumble; showing the parasites that they are. Perhaps then, our town will be even better! ps-congrats to Exeter City! Next year Torquay ...

What do we need a Mayor for? Surely this is the most impotent and useless badges of office known to man. Isn't it about time this relic of a bygone age was abandoned to the annals of history? I see it is this chap Protheroe again....no doubt using the chain to network for the purpose of feathering his own nest; all under the premise of council business. Let's bring this redundant nonsense into ...
