Well I admit the Guardian is a dodgy newspaper, but everyone knows that. However it's obvious to all that climate change is a scam. The real sad part about all of this is that so many people believe the climate change propaganda, even though there is zero evidence for any of it.

Just got a leaflet through my door for the above. Although this normally means that they are obliged to have a consultation with the public, but have already decided what they are actually going to do. I would have thought concrete tunnel sections to enclose the line and protect it from sea and rock fall would be more practical, but then they would have to close the line down. As to taking ...

But Paul aslo says that Global Warming doesn't exist!

If you drive along the A380 on the approach to Haldon Hill, particularly around dawn or dusk, you will often see plenty of deer grazing. But thirteen deer have been killed and at least eight people injured, two seriously, as a result of collisions between the animals and vehicles on or around Haldon Hill. Read more... ...

Yes, it's certainly to do with the works on the seawall but I don't know exactly what.

@1263 I didn't bring up Bradshaw's hairstyle in the first instance. @Burnside brought it up and I wondered if his remark was homophobic. Bradshaw is a good looking man for his age. What do you think I'm wanting to tell those who read Dawlish.com? Plus what is with the underlined YOU in caps locks? @Burnside If Bradshaw is 'on the effeminate side' - So what?

No discipline anymore, at home or in the schools.

I don't believe it was trust. In my opinion she only got another term on the gravy train because she was the lesser of two candidates. The only time you see her is when there is a national media event. Unlike many of her constituents she will be getting paid far above those who pay her salary, expenses, etc, etc and have to scrimp and save to pay their bills just to live. As for the £16 plus ...

@ Burnside Sorry old chap but @Carer is right. Here is the proof, and it's NOT the remoaners but financial instutes. https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/data/currencies/gbp-pairs/GBPEUR-exchange-rate You must be like Paul and be wearing blinkers and reject the truth.

A newly-released sex offender broke an order to stay away from children by staying at the home of a young mother who had a nine-year-old daughter. The order was imposed when he was jailed in March 2015 for having under age sex with a 15-year-old girl in a woodland den which he had built in land near Dawlish Fire Station. Stewart, aged 24, of no fixed address and previously of Teignmouth and ...

Just to be clear for anyone else reading this - best before end is a guide used by manufacturers to tell you when the flavour of the food may start to deteriorate (all still edible) Whereas a use by date is when the food should be eaten because it will go off and may lead to food poisoning.  But eyes and nose are the best guide for that and a day or two after may not matter. Frequently find ...

Ahh, poor didums being stuck on a train. As for being 'blacked out' to save battery power, it must have broken down at approx 1215 hrs, and at that time, there was plenty of daylight although cloudy and raining, so someone is looking for excess compensation and wanting some publicity, which they have got. Oh, I got wet when I got out of my car and walked 10 metres  from the car park to ...

Is it not possible to reinstate the gabions? Why were they legally required to remove them when they had worked in the past? It doesn’t seem to make sense.

When will someone say enough is enough and force CC to use their HST fleet on this line as these are not affected by the waves?

Should have served 2 years, peice of dog poop

I struggled to get job seekers allowance on three ocassions over a 30 year employment history when I was made redundant each time. Come the apocalypse there won't be handouts from those that work...oh I forgot labour did not win the 2019 GE..ha ha

Just a reminder.

The £85,000 per year salery for her role as police commissioner is probably not her only income sorce as the job obviously comes with additional benifits. What about her pension and golden handshake payment when she leaves the post. Pretty shure the police authority would benifit financially without her.

@ Fredbassett I agree, electric cars are a con. The Green New Deal is just a con too, its an opportunity for corporations make huge profits from the coming 'green industrial revolution'. They see it a as huge opportunity.

@Margaret Swift I agree with with a radical reform of managment. But it's also about people taking more responsibility for their own health and educating themselves about how diet and lifestyle is linked to many modern diseases. Ideallly help should be given to those to quit addictive unhealthy behaviours such as smoking, alcohol consumption, over-eating (especially junk food). As this is ...

Another suicide perhaps. They are increasing in frequency, these are troubled times.
