@1263 Are you serious? LOL! That isn't an example of me labelling you. Again who is labelling you? Which label has been used?
Dawlish Against Censorship's Posts
Wrigley, instead of getting behind Mr Bowes-Roden’s campaign had to go and launch his own didn't he. He's just salty that someone got their before him.
Foden and the Liberal Democrats make a big deal about the Number 2 Service and 'campaign' for a more frequent service during the run-in to elections. This shows she has no clout and her campaigning achieves nothing.
He's receiving around £100K per annum by magically cloning himself so he can pretend to be a MP in Westminster and a District councillor back here in the Shire at the same time. Which I assume is easier than cloning yourself another 2 times to fulfill a total of 4 jobs in government, each to a piss-poor standard, while he and his party became a regular in Private Eye fpr running one of the worst ...
Dawlish Town Council is a clique who think themselves better than the rest of us. That article just further emphasizes what arrogant members they are.
Mentioned on the other thread about this pub - it has been referred to as an 'uninsurable event'. Some might call it 'an act of God'. Both of which seems a load of BS as the pub was just neglected over a long period of time and the issue was well known. And yeah, bizarre how a pub is seen as a 'community asset', whereas public toilets are not.
@1263 On insurance, it has been referred to as an 'uninsurable event'. Some might call it 'an act of God'. Both of which seems a load of BS as the pub was just neglected over a long period of time and the issue was well known. Or is neglect now classed as 'an act of God'?
@burnside are you naming and shaming them then? Or is someone else?
@burnside The Town Council, so the likes of Linus Dawson and the rest of the Lib Dem mafia.
This video is really just to ridicule and humilaite 'people living with obesity' who are taking exercise.
@Steve Yeah because former commodities traders like Nigel and bankers did the economy a world of good back in 2008 didn't they?. And all those wealthy shareholders with shares in the big energy firms and corporations avoiding tax really give a damn about pensioners losing their winter fuel payment and the cost of living crisis, etc. I'm not interested in you labelling everyone who disagrees with ...
@1263 I didn't need to.
@1263 It could've been, no doubt that's what they had hoped for.
@1263 Yeah I'm siding with @Carer on this thread as per my freedom of speech and right to an opinion, does that bother you?
@burnside He's deluded that's for sure.
On a serious note I'm all for this sort of therapeutic work within the NHS's mental health provision and it seems to be a success according to the article; "The album has already attracted critical acclaim. The Wire magazine featured a full-page review in its April edition. Ambient music pioneer Kirsty Hawkshaw praised its therapeutic use of natural sound. Released on the Spirit Duplicator label ...
It's called coastal erosion. It's stupid place to build a rail line. Still we've got a century and a half out of it. Scrap 'resilience' move the line inland. The local MP needs to be seen to be doing something to justify his massive salary, so he states the effing obvious. Good job Wriggler.
@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 people, ...
People are dumbed down so much that they don't have any common sense any more. This is exemplified by Dawlish voting for people like Dawson and Wrigley. More people die taking their own lives on the adjacent railway but that gets hushed up because the Council and trades people in the town don't like Dawlish being associated with suicide and ill mental health. It's bad for business. Even if they ...
Certain Liberal Democrat Councillors who are on both the Town Council and the District Council wrote in support of former Town Councillor and serving District Councillor (for Kenton and Starcross) Gary Taylor when he assaulted an opposition Councillor in 2020. Other Councillors could have sought to get him removed. And now many of these same Councillors will be part of an anti-social behavior task ...
@1263 So you're into Drill music then. Are you into Gangsta rap too? 'Note'? Who cares whether you get a headache from jazz?
@b.o.liking Can you expand on that. What do you take issue with about the Chagos deal? Do you think it should be decolonized? Do you think Chagossians living in Mauritius, Seychelles and W. Sussex should be allowed to return to their homeland? Closer links with neighbouring countries in the EU in itself isn't illegal. Could you be more specific?
@1263 It's already happening. Councils encouraging and facilitating volunteering is just an extension of Cameron's Big Society and what Wrigley as Leader of TDC called 'Community Powered Councils'. It sounds more inclusive, it aims to make people think they have greater say in democracy, but it's just about ceding any responsibility and accountability because they haven't really got a clue. Public ...
@1263 The MDA is all about poor journalism. It often portrays Herr Wriggler as someone who 'demands' things. It's part of the persona he tries to cultivate for himself as a tough guy who were are meant to believe does things differently and gets results, aided by the Lib Dem biased MDA. It's laughable as Wrigley is a coward, an egotist and an absolute career politician. He is demanding, but only ...
@Paul I wasn't debating right and wrong. Animal welfare is secondary to profit, whether animals are bred for food or for sports. Livestock farming also has a negative environmental impact. Growth hormones and anti-biotics, coupled with cases of contamination where meats are basically marinated in faecal matter post slaughter means the welfare of those eating these 'animal products' isn't a ...
Is the town crier a paid position? Or does this bloke and his wife just enjoy dressing up/larping like they're still in th 1700s for free?
If volunteers are being used to replace paid workers to clear our waterways, then we should get a Council tax reduction. Hell why don't all these comfortably off, retired, middle class volunteers clean the public loos and collect our waste if they're as keen as mustard. Or are they all just there as 'extras' in another Lib Dem staged photo opportunity? The problem is that Dawlish Water was ...
Wolborough Fen named jewel of English nature by Guardian https://www.middevonadvertiser.co.uk/news/wolborough-fen-named-jewel-of-english-nature-by-guardian-799519 "A SITE of Special Scientific Interest in Newton Abbot has been named as one of the Guardian’s ten jewels of English nature at risk from the development. The Guardian describes the Fen and the other sites as ‘irreplaceable wild places’ ...
@Carer it certainly looks that way. He's deluded if he thinks any of what he wrote in the PRSD justifies his position. If anything it rubs salt in the wound and then pisses all over the wound. I seriously doubt anyone in Devon county Council would ask him to remain, given that's a Conservative run administration. Maybe his own party colleagues the Lib Dems asked him to stay on on Dawlish Town ...
@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?
@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 ...
@1263 I don't see how any government can stop anyone hostile getting into the country. Whether that's a jihadist entering amongst those seeking asylum or Russian agents. Hostile groups already exist within the British citizenry anyway. What about British citizens who are radicalized and become hostile? Even if the boats could be stopped it wouldn't stop British born Jihadists and British born ...
People park on pavements all the time without any regard for people like this elderly lady using her mobility scooter. wheelchair users, parent with prams, etc. I hope the knobhead in the van was caught and the book gets thrown at them. It's illegal parking after all.
Meanwhile in other news.... Beaches hit with sewage alerts https://www.middevonadvertiser.co.uk/news/beaches-hit-with-sewage-alerts-792199 I don't know if more excrement comes out of the Mid Devon Advertiser/Dawlish Gazette than is found on our beaches. Brown Flag award for a crappy local rag.
And Who is watching the watchers? We need a 'Lib Dem Watch' given that Wrigley and has crooked District council make regular appearances in the Private Eye, breaching human rights, etc. Reform are Trump-like, as are the likes of Wrigley and Dawson. Pot calling the kettle black. Hypocrites.
@1263 If you wrote to the Lib Dems about hiring the barrister I'd be interested to hear what their response was and who responded.
£80K spent on the Manor House and they get unpaid trainees to do the gardening! Get the serfs in to work for nothing! Effing ridiculous as our taxes keep on rising.
@BOO HOO Very well put. Turn The Tide need to look into the embodied energy costs of the new sea wall and all the new builds before they can claim to be advocates bringing attention to climate change and the environment.
Another Lib Dem and disciple of Wrigley gets to parade around the town like some minor aristocrat. Different day, same old sh1t.
The Liberal Democrats basically got the same amount of votes, so anything Labour or the Conservatives are doing or have done in government didn't directly benefit them. And nothing the Lib Dems have ever done since being formed has had much of a bearing on the two larger parties, including when they partnered with the Tories in the 2010 coalition - they just U-Turned and assisted the ...
