Aghh please don't go down the imperial route - "we fought two world wars for the right to use arbitrary units that don't use base 10 nonsense". Brave new world of the early 70s when the UK still believed it was at the cutting edge of technology (which to be fair there are numerous examples of where we were - but that is another subject). School kids like myself were drilled in metric, Kellogg had a campaign at that time on their cereal packets - something like 1 metre equals feet 3.3, it's bigger than a yard you see. Yet 45 years later market stalls in leave dominant areas still feel that they have a right to be metric martyrs...


Canada get it. Ireland get it. We can get it. Or align to America where it will take another millennium.


Have switched off BBC news and moved to Channel 4. Newsnight fine though.

Well it's not Theresa May and certainly not Jeremy Corbyn (Thank God)

Who else do you think makes the Rules ?

and Corbyn ? What about Corbyn.

? Blair has 10 homes ? The ones we know about.

He makes a fortune by speaking at lucrative events.

Corbyn is after a Slice of this very Lucrative Pie.


Labour could not give a shite about the #Homeless


Brexit or no Brexit.

What is your (credible) evidence for the part in bold above, exactly?


If you haven't got any, then please don't post such (insert bad word of your choice, such as crap) on here.

BREX: 27%

LAB: 22%

CON: 15%

GRN: 10%

LDEM: 9%

UKIP: 7%

CHUK: 6%


When TIG first formed they were polling at 18%, but have quickly fallen, BP is currently enjoying a similar new party bounce. Regardless, with only 5 weeks until the vote there's no time for complacency from the remain side. This is already going to be less about manifestos and instead a straight forward re-run of the referendum, the difference being that the vote is fragmented, affecting Remain more than Leave. At the moment there isn't a party that remainers can clearly identify with and get behind, like there is with the Brexit Party...it does what it says on the tin. BP obviously picking up most of it's votes from disgruntled Tory Brexit voters. If Labour backed a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote then they would pick up a lot of the remain vote. I know that despite not wanting to vote for anything to do with Corbyn, on this issue I would vote for Labour thinking they had the best chance of beating Farage and winning seats...

    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.  
    • The organisers must have spent a fortune on the display..imagine how p**s*d off they must have been!!!! Blink and you missed it kind of thing
    • We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
