General Discussion

Have any of you seen Mugabe on the news recently, wearing his chain of office? It looks strikingly similar to the mayoral chain. Does this point to other similarities.....like corruption, information suppression, land-grabbing, PR overload and money laundering? And let's not even mention moustaches.....

And a mouthful of teeth.
Is that why the call him Wally the teeth Protheroe?

Reminds me of our good old Labour party.Then again it could be the Conservatives or Liberals.

Yep, they're all the bloody same! Middle politics creates middle society. Bland bland bland!

Thanks for agreeing with me Viaduct. I love you i do.

I wonder who won the vote in Zimbabwe? What do you mean a walkover?! Mugabe must have been taking a leaf out of Dawlish Clown Councils book.....with their 'let's all pretend to discuss matters and allow democrat votes', but the reality, like Mugabe's regime is, it's a closed shop. How do our councillors sleep at night....knowing their principles are secondary to personal greed?

poles apart actually!

Don't think so. Especially when councillors have to fall in line or risk being ostracised. Sound familiar?

Well the majority elected them, its not like you were beaten into submission

hello chicken shed. still working hard for your good scout council badge, i see.....

Still calling other posters by my name are we .
I dont know , what will it take to get into that sad tiny mind of yours.

Surely you dont think i'd waste my time arguing politics with you. After all i am 3 different councillors and a reverend according to you.

Dont worry matron will be round soon.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Exactly

When I saw this thread, thought a serious one at last.
what alot of infantile idiots you are. How can you compare the council to Mugabe You can vote the council out at the next election you are not beaten into submission, killed if you vote for someone else, and you have enough food and water.
Grow up or shut up. Do you think the Beano is a newspaper.

Make no mistake, if those in authority could find a way of not giving you the chance to vote they will.
Take the last two casual vacancies on Dawlish Town Council.
The law requires that the vacancies should be posted in a conspicuous place or any other place that your council thinks fit.
Where did they post the notices?

At least The Beano is a better read than The Dawlish Gazette. How about this for seriousness. Word is spreading round Dawlish that our councillor Tom Bush, who likes to call himself a doctor, is not actually a doctor. Can we believe anything our councillors say?

If he is a Dr, he should be able to produce the facts. If he could produce it, read it closely as it could be one of those bought over the internet.
Knowing the skullduggery he has got up to in the past, he could be anything.

Might it be that he is a Dr of Philosophy or a Dr of Divinity? If so,he is perfectly entitled to call himself Doctor.

If that is the case, it sounds very dubious to me. Another example of pompousness and ego. More appropriate would be Doctor of malfeasance.
