No, its a protest against an outrageous government overreach and abuse of terror legislation to shut down and silence an effective civil disobedience protest group

I think Reform will eventually run out of steam, or at least won’t gain enough to form a majority government. Labour, on the other hand whilst governing are both clueless and a spectacular disappointment

In theory yes. In practice, these people are not paid up members of prescribed terrorist organisations

It’s really impressive your performance in government…bravo

Disgusting. This council cannot run a bath (without exposing themselves on zoom).

Stop the boats

There was an alleged pattern of behaviour with young activists which had gone on for a while, the local party must have knowingly given him freedom of the town at the same time. Regarding worse stories it would be more efficient to discuss who didn’t behave badly

When producing local memes, I was provided w multiple separate allegations of historic incidents, involving young boys who are now men. he is a wrong un, but whether this is enough to translates to a conviction idk. I’d go and watch it tbh

I don’t have a FB account i can only imagine it’s as bad as their actual site.
I had a few alt accounts at one point but don’t even bother with that anymore. Little rewind to my favourite alt post

That’s a fascinating article James.
I can confirm about the online poison, i take pride in playing a part in the C&E still having their comments section disabled

Under the same group. The Northampton Chronicles comment section had become a wasps nest of hate and conspiracy. Some good reporting and now with comments disabled, its a better place

Haha. It really is bonkers. I’ll look out for you. I’ve been quite active recently but there is only so far the discussion goes when you ask for supporting evidence.

Becoming a big fan of the Chronicles comments section, it’s a wild ride of racism and misinformation

Still waiting on those massive tax cuts they promised in their election campaign — likely, just as soon as the ‘efficiency savings’ materialise.
We all just need to believe a bit harder

Fair point. I didn’t mind the result being raised in Lancs. Their top order and bowling attack was sensational in that format. Almost right of the food, I had a Kurdish Shawarma on Welly Road prior

Was vibes on Friday, my daughter even asked if we could come again, all despite having no understanding of any of the concept of what was happening.

I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed the most recent WNC cabinet purely as a bizarre spectacle.

LOLs though at the splitting of their own vote ultimately costing a seat

Sad times when the razor thin election of Jennie Bone is cause for optimism

I’ve never cared about anything less

Interesting declarations, I wonder why backbench MP Nigel Farage would be having a personal meeting with George Cottrell previously indicted on 21 counts of conspiracy to commit money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail and extortion

This should be the number 1 (community) priority for WNC when it goes to the allocation of developer contributions, which must be plentiful, given the sheer amount of development in close proximity

Good morning James! I made it across
