will tell you, as Peter Greenhalgh did:

Quote from: The Invisible Councillor of FB*GP
"If you are really committed to change, please stand for local election rather than doing this"

I committed to change alright......

....so

It seems to me that reporting and questioning the behaviour of elected representatives is MORE important than standing for office.
Suggesting that the only way to do that is from inside the tent... is probably for their benefit not ours.

We are in fact Dorkinians.

Could have been worse though.

Just a thought ....perhaps the letter A before the second tonw/village name would get the message over more robustly ?? Would this be an anti chav part of the country by any chance

Just wondered

To all those who thought this was 'outrageous'

It seems Geoff was not so far off the mark... Well done Geoff it seems your right up to date , if not in the forefront of a modern Phenomenon

You could put that last one at the end of our street, especially since they started coating my blood pressure tablets with a 'banned in two countries' E number.

How do I go about campaigning to get that changed?

It's very irritating!!

Most used petrol station in Germany. British troops serving in Germany are issued with fuel coupons to purchase discount fuel. However, these coupons are only redeemable at certain petrol station (Shell, BP and Texaco). Wankum happens to be the last petrol station within the German border (It's a BP station) on the E34, so the soldiers returning to the UK for leave by car tend to stop and top off their fuel tanks before entering Holland

To avoid paying the levels of tax imposed by rapacious UK governments of various hues.

Bonkers in the Bunker discussed in Hollywood...

Quote

Last month, a Jewish council leader in the U.K. named Coun Rod Bluh was satirized as Hitler in one of the videos, provoking an outcry in light of the fact that he is a Holocaust survivor.

More of an outraged whisper than actual outcry, but that really is advertising that money just can't buy.

First Hansard, now Hollywood eh?, no thanks needed or expected.....

Didn't quite realise he was old enough to survive it........

Still getting enquiries from journalists about Bonkers.

Is it time to publish Pt 2 yet ?

Chris Watts · « **Reply #96 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:02:51 PM »

As funny now as it was then. Part 2, Let's 'av it.

Geoff is it true that you have been approached to make a proper film out of it?

Hollywood awaits!!

So many comments, so much to cover;

"Often, the most satisfying element of a good parody is seeing others mistake it for the genuine article."

For "some" of you, I will try to expalin what is happening here.

Hitler's evil "Jewish Solution" is nothing to do with this depiction of him as denying the reality of the Russian army being at the doors of Berlin. This about denial in the face of overwelming evidence, it's a satirical parody. If you think that it has anything whatsoever to the Nazi's racial policies, you are either; not very clever, bigoted or not very clever and bigoted.

Carry on regardless Geoff!
