I don't believe for one instant that Mr. Cameron intends to hold a referendum. This is simply a ploy to emasculate the right of his own party and UKIP and, by doing that, could work to increase the chances of re-election. If he wins the election, he can cheerfully weasel out of the promise and the worst that can happen is that the anti-Europe factions can kick off again five years on. In that ...
One could argue that the (very belated) intention in the US to take a firmer line on doping in sport simply makes Lance Armstrong unlucky to have been caught. Perhaps he annoyed the USADA enough for them to take action. If his relationship with his team mates had been better, he probably would have continued to get away with it. It seems to me, as one who knows nothing about cycling, that ...
I haven't seen the car park but I would have thought that £2000 could pay for a lot of cleaning up.
I don't know which hospital but she had the trots.
I am thinking of two recent examples that have irritated me. I was in a manically cynical mood yesterday and, as I don't generally believe anything simply because it is in the media, perhaps it was unnecessary and pointless to single out the Gazette. The immediate trigger was the post "One of the First Carbon Neutral Campsites in South West." The previous was the unquestioning ...
Does the Dawlish Gazette investigate any of the reports that are fed to it by local councils, the police, etc.? Indeed, is it any more than a local notice board in which nothing can be trusted but the date? It would not be a problem, were it not for people believing what they read in the paper. It appears that some people still do.
Simple as I am, I cannot see how setting aside such an area makes " a carbon neutral holiday destination. " The destination itself, i.e. Cofton Country Holidays, who presumably dreamed up this marketing bullshit, is neither more nor less carbon neutral than it was before. I am weary of spurious claims to environmental cuddliness. (Which bank was it that paraded its desire to reduce ...
@Philip Try a search on "Big Yellow Taxi."
The great advantage of having an appointed FOI Officer is that it is like having a Quality Manager, a Health and Safety Officer or a ( fill in your own favourite ) It enables everyone else to avoid answering the questions that they do not want to answer. It is a splendid delaying tactic and any follow-up questions can be subject to similar delay It works in situations where you ...
My source on the council tells that they have taken them, "To put them in a tree museum." No prizes for guessing how much it will cost just to see 'em.
