@burnside Dawson knows that her sh*tshow as chair of TDC that went viral on You Tube is now common knowledge for those who take an interest in the broader sh*tshow that is local politics. And that people talk. It all would've really bruised her ego. Her latest post is as near to an admission as we're going to get that she was wrong when she appointed herself 'Equality Champion' for trans ...
It's a Lib Dem tactic to be seen to be doing something, because they know the 1900 or so who vote for them don't actually pay any attention to whether the Lib Dems actually get anything done. Dawson is yet again petitioning the District Council on which she sits, which is run by her own party. It's all about her, getting her face in the paper and not the plight of this business owner. Now ...
Dawson and the Lib Dems voted to effectively kill small businesses in Queen St Newton Abbot and the party also gave the go ahead for Lidl's in Bovey Tracey, despite numerous concerns from small businesses. Now here she is with yet another petition which just offers false hopes to the business owner, whilst providing her with yet more publicity.
@Carer , would you say that there's absolutely no need for for food banks, breakfast clubs in Schools to feed malnourished children and winter fuel allowances so a large proportion of pensioners don't freeze to death each winter? Which reality do you refer to? Your own or that of wider society?
So get businesses that directly benefit from tourism to pay for it. Are we living in times of austerity or not? I don't see the tourist trade having such a positive impact on the wider community, we have to pay higher water bills to deal with the seasonal increase in sewage and the impact on local beaches. Council tax in Dawlish is the among the highest in the area, I don't see the tourist trade ...
@Steve It'll be going on in this country because it's profitable. The RSPCA turn a blind eye to cruelty against animals every single day of the year from farming to horse racing. What makes anyone think they'd intervene in the halal slaughter of animals?
The money could be spent on much more worthwhile things. Painting that shabby railway viaduct for example. No money to reinstate the other Manor Gardens bridge, but there is money for a statue of Brunel??
@Paul Which mainly concerns you? Animal welfare in general or simply at the point of slaughter? Or Jewish and Muslim practice of eating the flesh of animals that aren't stunned prior to slaughter?
@burnside That's the Liberal Democrat modus operandi locally. Rosie Dawson prevents free speech as former Chair of the district Council. Wrigley and his cabal ignores the needs and concerns of traders in Queen St Newton Abbot, market traders over changes to the indoor market, then there's the theatre campaign and local people concerned about the housing sprawl and loss of countryside containing ...
Another BS filled post on our MP's Facebook page today. He 'came into politics with a desire to help people' ? And 'make their lives better '? WTF? Not according to his elderly neighbour, he has no desire to make her life better. In fact she says he's the worst neighbour she's ever had. He's full of it. It's sickening, shameless self-promotion by a deluded arrogant fool who ...
