Government's Rubbish Tax

Added a post 11 May

This has been a right old mess-up at Central Government level for some time now. Although I am keen to enourage more recycling, I still prefer the "dangling a carrot" approach rather than beating ... Read More »

You can Frown with Gordon Brown

Added a post 11 May

The original line was "Going down with Gordon Brown" -- but near enough :-) I have blogged on the LibDems' campaign in particular in this by-election HERE. There is b(sadly) nothing honourable abo... Read More »

Central Government attacks the vulnerable in our society.

Added a reply 22 Apr

I have a possibly unfashionable personal opinion on this, and that is that all decision-making should be local wherever possible. Only a very few subjects are nationwide (e.g. criminal law, immigra... Read More »

Academy

Now that the question of a new Academy school in Strood -- to replace and add to what has already been achieved at Chapter and Temple Schools in Strood -- has been settled (yesterday evening), it is perhaps time to look back at how we got here. I shall not go into detail, but some of that is contained within my own writings on the matter on my own 'blog:

Dear John

Thank you for the welcome and well done to Jane for creating the site.

I have just tonight created a 'blogsite of my own, at Blogger. I have re-posted three of my 'blog posts from here to kick-start it.

Note that I hadn't intended to do this, but needed a Blogger ID to avoid any Labour trolls forging comments to appear to come from me when I post on other 'blogs such as Guido Fawkes or Iain Dale, as has happened to at least one other at the latter.

Then, once I'd done that, I thought: might as well post something...

Hi John, it was indeed a most pleasant day out where the hospitality and the openness with which you and your colleagues Chris, Gary and Ted welcomed prospective candidates were strangely at odds with the position of CCHQ. It reminded me so much of the time before computerised selection was introduced into appointments for medical training. Then, meeting and introduction were recognised and conventional preludes to selection.


It would be difficult not to understand how all this creates an urge to step forward and become involved with the constituency campaign, except that protocol would demand circumspection until it is appropriate to do so!

To be honest Mr Ward, Conservative, Lib Dem, Labour or whatever it may be called doesn't matter. It's just a name. It's the people that runs it. Are they in to do good for the nation or just to fill their pocket with as much as they can until someone else gets elected. People vote for these individual with hope that he or she will do something to help them out....HOPE Mr Ward, that's all we got. We need somebody to give this nation it's HOPE back and tell them to lift their head up and be proud of UK no matter what background you have. We need someone to work for the nation's goodwill. Too many false promises to get where they want to and once they are there, they forget how they got there. It's a bit like forgetting your parent, your mother or father. It's no different from a normal family. If we can't keep our house tidy then how are we going to help others? By sending soldiers to sort things out.....???? Using the Nations money create war and hatred. It's a joke! They need to start looking at what the people need right here and make good use of the finance. Families nowadays are disregarded, there is no incentive to have a family and they wonder why so much troubled families. Thing is they don't want to do anything about it. I can go on and on.

I don't know if I am like you but if you are then you must understand the frustration. And I for once want to do something about it. I don't know how but I will find a way.

Just to let you know...

The Forum discussion I started "Strood Has No Deprivation" also rang true in Twydall (as indeed I mentioned in that post) so I offered a "tweaked" version of it to Alan Collins, who lives there and whose blogsite is very good indeed.

It is almost unknown for me to re-use material this way, so I felt it right to let him know that -- exceptionally -- what I sent him was based on an article I had posted here just a few hours earlier.

I think that, if anything, the version there works even better, but feel free to check it out and decide for yourself:
