Goodness me - I wonder if his memoirs will be entitled: My own stupidity and it's part in my downfall.


What a prize idiot.


At a time when many are questioning the council's fairness, balance and attitude towards constituents this is not a good look at all - the lengths he went to to undermine a local resident group is shocking.

I know, I wonder if there?s any accounts on here that are like this, like having another identity


Steve Taylor/ Trolley Snatch has gone, but there must be others?!

Perhaps they could save all that hassle of switching between accounts and morph their names Brangelina stylee.


And to save on the cost of a new forum server, single account posters could tandem up to save on bandwidth, e.g. Inaliceatthemoment...

Maybe we could just classify posters into tribes, D&D alignment style, rather than try and find potential duplicate accounts?


There is a bigger issue here about local democracy and the relationship between councillors and constituents, the role of political parties in local government, the amount of whipping that goes on, whether councillors' loyalty / focus is with their ward constituents, their LA political party organisation or their national party organisation. Voters expect them to represent constituency interests, and with the way the system works this is perhaps naive?


Is there a "councillor culture" that doesn't sit well with the formal rules, that happens because every other councillor is acting in a similar manner, so it all seems OK?

I know of at least one current poster who has two forum names and has sometimes used both of them on the same thread.


Not a troll though.

Seriously - if you're clever about it or use parody it seems to be allowed.


If you just blatantly try to pretend you are not who you are you're banned from twitter. I'm sure if he ran an obvious parody account it would be allowed even if it had a political persuasion (like Larry does).

Twitter recently has started marking accounts with "This is a UK Government Account" etc.


But it's suspected that the government runs a "boiler room" Social Media operation which is really a large group of fake/bot accounts (a former chairman admitted that this was going live in 2018).


I can only find reference to it here

Possibly not just the incumbent government but governments in waiting too.

I can understand someone having separate accounts for say 'business' and 'pleasure' with that well known adage in mind, whereas having multiple 'pleasure' accounts, even if they don't troll, looks sketchy...

Specially posting on their own threads in each ?alter ego?. That?s just odd, tho I suppose there?s a ?Oooo..I?m getting away with this? about it, but it?s still fekn sketchy.

Red Devil, but you already knew that.

Not sure what point you're trying to make, most people who've been on the forum long enough (like yourself) know that's my old account. I stopped using it when I hit 10,000 posts (a 'clique' injoke) and took a break, which was over 3 years ago.

When I returned and set up this account about 6 months later, I deliberately chose DR so people would know it was RD, if I did it again the next time I'd probably choose a Spanish or Italian translation.


I never operated both accounts simultaneously, and even if I had, it would've been fairly obvious to some it was the same person, unlike those posters who have multiple accounts and post under different names, and sometimes in the same thread, which I'm sure you'll agree is a strange thing to do...

I agree, it's a very strange thing to do.


I think originally one of the names may have been intended for "business", very loosely defined, but that isn't the case any longer.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
