The Entitlement Mindset • Persistent Exclusivity: Research, such as the Sutton Trust's Elitist Britain project, highlights that top roles in politics, business, and media remain disproportionately occupied by privately educated individuals. • Unwritten Codes: The British elite frequently relies on subtext, etiquette, and established social networks to signal "who belongs". Insiders often view ...

Yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zugzwang : A term from chess describing a situation where one must make a move but any move will incur harm or worsen the position OR 'THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA', COME TO MIND.

Whether holding the dual roles of Mayor of Dawlish and Co-Chief of Staff to the local MP constitutes a conflict of interest depends on the specific duties performed and the matters brought before the council. Legal and Ethical Framework • Declaration is Key : Under the Localism Act 2011 and the Nolan Principles , holding two such roles is not automatically illegal. The primary requirement is the ...

Uhm, think I will give that a miss...got better things to do than listen to empty words.

White Ford Transit....say no more.

Net zero madness will be the death of all of us, in my opinion.

R I P Barry.

If they actually did the opposite of what they have been doing for years Dawlish would still be the little seaside gem it use to be rather than the smelly crapper it has been turned into by them, in my opinion. And they had the nerve to increase the rates to 12 percent cheeky c@@@@.

@Carer...so true. Last few generations of breeders have produced a lot of feral's with the assistance of zero discipline in schools thanks to our glorious successive governments and now we are importing them from France as well on the tax payer's dime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF5khVkYxtQ&list=LL&index=14

Shame the old bill cannot show as much effort to stop actual crimes, in my opinion.

I actually just took £20 in cash with me to the hospital, no cards at all for the reason they might go astray. When I go out the only time the card comes out of its anti rfid wallet is to tap and pay. Skimmer seems the most obvious and had to have been in Dawlish I believe. The only places I have shopped is Co op and cost cutters! Thanks for the input.

Images of the days when a Bobby preserved the peace and acted without bias, well most of the time. Sadly those days are long over with our imported and culturally enriching, diverse extended communities, in my opinion.

@1263 whole heartedly agree. I think the Lib dems political history speaks volumes and is a clear indicator of when the main political groups end up trying it onto hard to annoy the electorate in come the Court Jester's. Court Jester noun • A person in bright garb and fool's cap who served as amusement in a mediaeval royal court . Although I think my profile picture would make a great Lib Dem ...

Why not call it the VW camper/beetle show with may be a few old Porsche's thrown in rather than an ambigous title most will not understand? Yes I am a bit crabby today after spending 4 days in hospital after my body decided to eject a third of its blood supply ha ha ha.

Shame these councils cannot put a little effort into making the towns better rather than running them into the ground and charging us through the nose via our rates, in my opinion. Criterion 10. The beach must comply with the Blue Flag requirements for the microbiological parameter Escherichia coli (faecal coli bacteria) and intestinal enterococci (streptococci). The microbiological parameters to ...

Dawlish council have been gagging for years for an excuse to take down all the big trees on either side of The Lawn, in my opinion. I do not think they will be happy until the whole of The Lawn is tarmacced  over and looks like a car park.

@1263 Liebour are so far up their own blackhole they think every thing they do is wonderful just like the Greenies until it comes back and bites them in the blackhole then they change it to suit themselves, in my opinion.

The Liberal Democrats have admitted to breaching human rights and unlawfully discriminating against former parliamentary candidate David Campanale for his Christian beliefs. Campanale, a former BBC journalist, was selected as the candidate for Sutton and Cheam in 2022 but was deselected in 2023 following a campaign by local party members who opposed his traditional views on issues such as ...

Let's hope the Manor House does not have the same issue Teignbridge library had with their solar panel installation. Cannot find any where the cost/savings of this new project of Dawlish Council. Should the people of Dawlish be advised of the total cost of this installation/servicing and upkeep relative to the initial outlay. In my opinion the relative electricity obtained from the solar panels ...

Cannot find the official details for this for 2026 only 2024/2025 so what items are included and what are excluded from this service taking place on the 09 May 2026?

@1263 That would be over stepping their authority and require some form of common sense that they seem to lack these days, in my opinion.

Do they not realise that so called clean water is not what enters the surface drains when it rains, but all the oil and petrochemicals from the roads that have been absorbed from motor vehicles and site equipment running back and forth to The Lawn.

I wonder what next major work will be scheduled for Dawlish in the coming year to increase the amount of disturbance to the economy/tourism. I expect it will involve construction, concrete and closing off roads and possibly digging up or building on The Lawn!

Chances are the mattress and chairs did not even get wet!

And when the parasites in power eventually get their cost saving way to centralise all emergency services the situation will get far more dangerous for us peseants.

Police, I did not realise they still existed down here!!!!!!

Might be worth actually dredging The Brook so it had more than a couple of inches of water in it for the ducks/swans first.

Somewhere for all the old Dawlish crackheads/drunks to sit, how thoughtful.

So just doing what they are supposed to do as part of their normal duties obviously nothing to praise them for, in my opinion. A few cops on the beat rather than whizzing past in their cars and vans would stop a lot of crime before it even happens again in my opinion. https://crimerate.co.uk/devon/dawlish Dawlish is among the top 5 most dangerous small towns in Devon, and is the 42nd most ...

Earlier this month I needed dental work but could not get an NHS dentist within 40 miles and have no transport. So I was forced to get a private dentist in Dawlish to do the work. Whilst I was in reception for 30 minutes or so I observed the receptionist making call after call to people canvassing to offer them NHS treatment and sign up to their surgery. After my own dental treatment I asked the ...

Well give it a few more years and The Brook running through Dawlish will just be a gravel path.

Automated service these days normally means a worse service at a higher price.

How do they validate if someone is actually in need or just someone who is not in need just wanting free food?

Over the years Dawlish has had its fair share of arson attacks, shame we cannot round the little focka's up and have a nice big bonfire on The Lawn to send these scrotes on their way, in my opinion. I would bring the marshmellows.

@Steve - The old Bill talk the talk down here but in general they are about as common to see patrolling as a flying pig, obviously I would exclude any sightings of the police chopper though in this analogy.
