QUOTE (Blake @ May 8 2017, 07:03 PM) Can someone explain to me the specific reasons why Councillor Julian Swift Hook is such a controversial figure in West Berkshire? Is JSH the individual a controversial figure? The Greenham Parish Council's Tower of Control was the brain-child of JSH and it has attracted some minor criticism for the Council's bungling mismanagement, but there's really no great controversy is there, and the bungling is the Council's collectively, not JSH's personally? Amongst his fellow politicos, both Conservative and Lib Dem, I'm not aware that he's anything but a solidly mainstream establishment chap, and I doubt very much if the public at large know who he is. Do you know any different?

Get used to it, if the Trot's get in that's all anyone will be driving in ten years time. If we're lucky. Still, as you're such a loyal comrade to the glorious socialist Revolution you might get a Zil, and your own lane on the motorway to drive it down. Top down socialism.

I'm not totally sure sitting in my vest in the trailer just watching endless trashy TV and scrounging a church pot roast once a fortnight is much of an alternative...
