x-box time
If you’re lucky enough to live in Exeter or Plymouth you’ve got council elections coming up - May the fourth be with you. This is because one-third of the councillors are elected in each of the three years when county council elections are not held, roughly speaking. I’m glad that’s cleared up.
Neither has a BNP candidate standing. And with the shock revelation that 25 per cent of voters would consider X-ing the box of the BNP, I suppose it should be considered refreshing. We should applaud that such a party hasn’t attempted a toe-hold here. But maybe it’s the often narrow-minded and bigoted mindset that has protected south Devon from these dangerous right-wing radicals - what is the need of them here?
Nevertheless, we went to the polls in our droves supporting UKIP - whose main policy seems to be ‘just say no’ (that was fine for Zammo and his gang, but would it work in the council chamber, let alone the European Parliament) - when our perception of Johnny Foreigner’s shadow loomed too large.
So, if you’re voting, your choice of who you’d prefer to put the knife into public services while they destroy the communities they pay lip service to will be pretty much the same old roll call.
Thank goodness for the People’s Republic of South Devon, ehh?
