Seems a bit harsh Tim.

 

I read it as he was sort of agreeing with you, but just trying to inject a bit of humour.

You really think that’s the important issue with Scotspine’s post?

The First Minister came to the defence of her disgraced former minister Derek Mackay, who...

Yeah I’m sure she would seeing as she doesn’t give a shit about anything other than Indy ref 2-3-4 or whatever it takes. Still defending a sick bastard whom got his kicks with underage boys. 🤮

Let in thousands of predominantly military aged males and what do you expect. 
Ironically we see the actions of one petrol bomb throwing nutter Dover now being classed as driven by “ terrorist ideology “ how utterly desperate is that !!!

Matt Hudson seems to have his head well and truly in the bloody clouds, they offered to clean the hotel for free apparently!!!. Last time I stayed in a hotel it certainly was not free and me the Mrs and kids keep our home clean. Nothing newsworthy about that.

I was listening to the radio the other day, the Irish government is actually advertising for construction workers!.

 

I would laugh myself, if the hotel's put adverts in the windows saying no English, just as a nod to the 1960s.

Bloody hell….

Milliband talking a lot of sense about COP and green energy on Kuensburg, genuinely talking really credible and compelling sense….

 

Then he slips right back into ops normal old Labour BS about ‘reparations’ and foreign aid. 
 

It was genuinely taking me by surprise, passion, logic, compelling good sense, then BOOM, all down the toilet again.

And on a more ‘local’ theme, did you ever meet this bloke in yr light touch forestry role @Big J, his approach to planning law might appeal?  What troubles me though is that he may sit in judgement of others planning applications as a parish councillor, but thought he himself was somehow ‘above’ it…

 

 A strangely sympathetic article which only just about manages to mention the fundamental details that a parish councillor ignored the requirement to submit a planning application / abide by building regs for a business (air B&B) new build in ancient woodland. 

 

Rather than focus upon the fundamental failure to abide by the very rules & regs he applies when he sits in judgement of other peoples’ dreams and aspirations (planning applications) when his PC comments on the applications of others, he chose to ignore that requirement in pursuit of his own financial gain. 

 

OK, so he was unwell.  I understand and empathise with that more than most having been through similar myself recently but at no point would I ever have thought to completely ignore the most basic planning requirements on the basis of being unwell.  

 

This is WRONG on so many levels. 

 

He should be required to remove the structure (legally achievable) and resign as a parish councillor (not legally achievable.)  This behaviour shames all parish councillors since it reenforces through very tangible example - one rule for us another for them  

 

The planning application is open to view on Cornwall councils planning page and currently displays what appears to be his Facebook friends list of gushing comments of support with only 1 or 2 comments in opposition and noting the fundamental failure of character, integrity and professionalism of a parish councillor. 

 

What a disgrace.  It has made national media but here is a local media link:

I really want to see how quickly Elon ruins their lefty echo chamber.

Going to be really interesting to see how this plays out as Musk is going to have to ride two horses here, and that seldom ends well.

 

He's part of the establishment, he didn't get to be the richest man in the world by being anything else. "Green agenda", "new world order", "build back better", deals with the Chinese, etc, etc, he ticks all those boxes and more, the epitome of the modern day "globalist".

 

Yet here he is now owning and threatening to shake up one of the establishments main propaganda tools. Is he really going to do what people are expecting and allow the 'progressive' agenda to be challenged, even sometimes exposed for what it is?

 

The thing is, we will see the headlines of some of the big companies as they make a big visual out of withdrawing their twitter funding (they call it "advertising"!), but you can be darned sure there'll be a lot of big money pulled out of twitter which we'll never know about because we were never supposed to know about it being there in the first place!

 

Given the false nature of so much of today's 'wealth', will he be able to hack it, or is he actually a wolf in sheep's clothing who has pulled a master stroke to simply tighten his grip over the society that he claims he wants to liberate.

 

Let's see.
