Been rather busy lately standing in the New Forest District Council elections. Thankfully I was re-elected though quite a few of my Conservative colleagues were not. Clearly there was a national trend of anti Conservative feeling. For the first time three Green party councillors were elected. All the constant climate propaganda is playing right into their hands. It will be interesting to see whether they are willing to play a full sensible part in running the Council, or be a one track distraction.
When I was Council Chairman in 2021 I was reported prominently in the local press for my sceptical views on climate change, see the link at the end of this post.
It seems that the public are willing to support candidates who set out sensible views which are in tune with the views of many of them.
Here is a link to the article which appeared in the print edition of the paper:
Senior NFDC Tories at odds over climate change urgency (advertiserandtimes.co.uk)
This post has been updated to give a good link. Thank you Dave for pointing out the deficiencies in the old link.
I think that the author of the that unsigned post is probably one Derek Tipp, who is apparently in southern England.
ReplyDeleteIt also appears that the non-working URL should have been:

You are corrsct, Dave. I do aĺl the posts on here. I am unable to get the link to work as I am using an old tablet to post. Apologies for that. I will correct it when my new computer is working.
ReplyDeleteHey, that worked! The format is plain HTML, like this:

(My "hey, that worked" comment is in reply to my 2nd comment, which I now see has become invisible, perhaps because it is "in moderation.")
DeleteHi Dave. Thanks for your advice.I can see your comments. There was no moderation. All comments are welcome.
ReplyDeleteNo, my 2nd comment is invisible. You can see it because you're logged in with your blobspot account, and you own the blog. Nobody else can see it.
DeleteYou can test fact by opening your blog post in "incognito" or "private" mode, or by viewing it from another browser, one in which you're not logged into blogspot.
Your blog settings are probably configured to automatically "moderate" (hide) any comments which contain links. Unfortunately, that's probably the default, because of the spammers' bots, which spam garbage comments to blogs, typically using comments which contain links.
Thanks for the advice? Alas I am unable to do much as am using an old tablet. Hope to bebaack to normal tomorrow. I admit I am no IT wizard. I find the technology very tricky.
