How about a MODEST increase in services to go with the modest increase in payment, cheeky so and so's. How about a few redundancies from the council as most of the services are non existent or gone all together!

It is about time that government officials paid into their pension funds just the same as the private sector workers do and did not get top ups from the tax payers.

That makes £4,000,000 extra paid in during the last 5 years that's were our money goes, Gordon Brown and Ed Balls killed final salary schemes when they robbed them of millions but all the time civil service, Council employees and NHS workers pensions are gold plated.

Trump administration removes climate information from federal websites https://www.ehn.org/trump-administration-removes-climate-information-from-federal-websites-2671075030.html Sanity is being restored in the USA as climate propaganda is being removed from federal websites. Fingers crossed Britain will eventually wake up too and abandon the dangerous Net Zero obsession.

Well done to all concerned. At last, something decent to read instead of RW lies and moronic claims from the climate deniers.

Could the UK actually get colder with global warming? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn938ze4yyeo As we all know, climate predictions are always spot on, as is the BBC, so it looks like Labour needs to ditch Net Zero in favour of burning a lot more fossil fuels to keep us warm.

A garage has been broken into in Teignmouth over night. Thieves are still active in our area. Please remain vigilant.
