Bexhill-on-Sea!
What is the point of special parking for Blue-Badge Holders if Bexhill Council is going to charge them as well for the privilege of being near a venue. Seems pointless and the leader of the Council is probably called Ebenezer Scrooge with penny pinching tendencies. Perhaps he hasn’t heard of the economic crisis that is happening all over the United Kingdom. There we go again. It is another case of THEM and US! The rich and people that can afford to park, while others are struggling to make ends meet and the Councils making money through their misery of trying to make a living. On a losing battlefield of high expenses from the start!
Big Brother Looms in Eastbourne
We all that live in Eastbourne and probably Willingdon have received from the sleeping beauty that has just awoken from her slumbers to ask us: What are our priorities? Just like the Tories, asking us for guidance. Of course most of the citizens of Eastbourne and Willingdon would like the roads and pavements made safe, it’s all very well making chalk marks round holes like outside Bedes School – it is like a minefield. I think the chalk marks have been there at least two years or even longer. You ask any local party Councillor, they all come up with the same answer with the longest spiel and tirade of words that mean absolutely nothing! I can remember the poster sized board that the Tories had their manifesto printed on it. “Make Eastbourne a Safe Place to live in!” With all these holes in our roads and uneven pavements, a fat chance of them being repaired is as remote as Eastbourne sending a rocket to the moon!
I don’t know how they dare to ask the citizens of Eastbourne and Willingdon what their priorities are as there is a series of an hour long programme on television informing us of the shambolic way the Tory party is governing the United Kingdom.
I was wondering how that party was going to survive without their usual ideas on how to fleece the public and now we know. A charge of £12.50 every time a vehicle that doesn’t meet the criteria that the government has laid down running through London, probably that is why they have extended the boundaries. They have got to have their pound of flesh as the story goes!
Also they expect every householder will be able to afford to purchase an “All Electric Car” and dispense with the vehicle they already own. Another fat chance that happening. Citizens are experiencing a “Cost of Living Crisis” and also “the New Bank Rate is set at 5.25%” and the majority of the savers are not getting this new high rate passed onto them and so all of us are being penalised at both ends.
This is how the rich stay rich and the poor struggle! As reported some hours earlier the Prime Minister is poised to make another U TURN on a deadline to outlaw fossil fuel vehicle sales from 2030 to 2035 amid economic hardship for families. An aim to phase out the sale of all gas boilers by 2035 will be diluted, with just 80 per cent of them gone. This will certainly stymie the Commercial Car Industry as they have poured millions of pounds in producing Electric Cars. People should recognise the fact that the Tories have a long history of “U TURNS!”
Another factor it has been alleged is that there are only seven charging places in Eastbourne at the present time and supposing for argument sake a thousand persons went gaga and purchased a new electric car and they all just had a little charge left – seven charging points wouldn’t be enough.
Anarchy would break out and cars would be abandoned left, right and centre. Anyway, Government and local Councils would be overjoyed as they all want less traffic on the road and that would give them the chance of repairing the roads and pavements, but then the Commercial Trade would suffer and believe it or not Mr Risky Sunhat you can’t have it both ways!
Mind you! The first thing you have to learn is how to govern with honesty as your byword, but that will probably take most of your life and probably before long you’ll be out of a job just like Doris.
We all have to wait which way Risky Sunhat is going: BACKWARDS or FORWARDS!
