General Discussion

Out of the General election a little ray of sunshine, well done to Martin Wrigley and his team on taking over as M.P. for Newton Abbot. May be the constituency may start to get some life pumped back into it and the councils given a boot up their backsides to start doing a bit of work for a change.

I don't think the traders in Newton Abbot will be celebrating the election of Wrigley, he's a clown, and a dangerous one at that.

@burnside - I find your comment offensive relating a person you feel is dangerous to that of clowns. I and my fellow clowns will be seeking an apology for this gross injustice to the clown community. We will be watching YOU burnside!

Well, Martin Wrigley might not be a clown, but one thing for certain is that since the Liberal take over of Teignbridge Disctrict Council, it has fallen apart. So a blessing be that Mr Wrigley is now MP, atleast he's away from Teignbridge while he hopefully takes some pride and care in representing it. However Burnside is not far from the truth, I don't think NA will be overally ecstatic.

@BOO HOO whether your a joker or a clown, I respect that, totally, but all joking apart you can't claim an offensive card then threaten someone with "watching" them. I thought clowns made people smile and laught. 

@The Observer, oh dear! people are a sad shadow of what they were back in my day. As to you thinking clowns made people smile and laugh. I assume the answer to that is yes and no, take it whatever way you like. 

@BOO HOO Back in your day? Don't question the age of others for surely you know not how old another might be

Truth be told upon this landslide of a day, Madam Morris didn't do such an amazing job and it's with regret I don't think Monsieur Wrigley will do much better if any better at all. 

But time is a wonderful thing and let's see how time is told.

Maybe Mp Wrigley will continue in the vain of his Leader who acted like a complete clown through the whole election. Maybe a waterski from Teignmouth to Dawlish , paragliding from Haldon Hills , paddleboarding at Shaldon and rock climbing at Coryton. If it wasn't for everyone wanting to get rid of the Tories , the Liberals would have been decimated. Tactical voting won seats and nothing else. Why would anyone vote for a party lead by the complete clown that turned a blind eye to the horizon scandal at the post office. He was the politician more responsible than any other .
