Councillor branded a bigot after comment on website

“dtiley: We now clearly (but not surprisingly) understand what the local Conservative Party think of communities such as Patchway and the people who live there. Cllr Avenin's/ Conservative Party position regarding council tenants is noted for the future. Cllr Avenin and his supporters dont believe he made an error of judgement, which speaks volumes.”

“Just think if Labour councillors Like Mr Tiley spent the same amount of time working on things like saving the airfield or saving highwood road as they do writing comments on here, they just might have more success, as it is Labour continue to fail people miserably...”

“But it's true, the place does look like an Indian reservation.”

“Nice reply Roger

Obviously no need to apologise, your support here indicates you must be right. Yes I need the publicity as so hurt you don't remember our amicable afternoon together with your dog. Clearly I'm delicate as diagnosed by Mrs Rumpole, I get to lie on her couch when I can drag myself away from chasing little arrows. You're not in my world Roger, and it seems I'm not allowed in yours, perhaps the Journal can put up a firewall to eliminate non-residents views, why not build a gated community? It will keep out the undesirables, be they political or otherwise, though this isn't politics at our town level, just community work, only for a headline of course, as it's a lost cause at District level. All political careers end in failure, just some sooner than others, hope you continue to climb and get recompense for your time. It's easier when you know where people really stand. I'll leave SGC decide what is appropriate or not, I'm no judge of that it seems, so happy to bury the hatchet, Et Tu Brute?”

“RogerAve

dont worry as Mr Tiley is clearly sitting at his pC clicking the rating button on his own little posts...pathetic and all that is wron with labour councillors..all mouth and no political weight whatsoever....happy to climb on the back of any cause he thinks he can grab a headline from.”

Having returned from several days away I was amazed to see the brouha arising from my comment - all stirred up by Dave Tiley ( presumably he needs the publicity ).

I had'nt realized that Dave was such what a delicate, tender, flower but if he hopes to make his way in local politics then he needs to develop a far harder shell as I am sure he will hear much worse than this.

Yes the comment was intended as a put down tinged with sarcasm, but with intended humourous results - that obviously did not find any resonance in Dave's world. He obviously needs to work on his sense of humour ( or lack of it ). I was becoming fed up with Dave's continued comments on the local journal. A journal that purports to represent issues affecting Bradley Stoke.

I do not honestly remember Dave but when I canvassed Patchway I have to say I met many very pleasant, intelligent people who were able to hold wonderful conversations. Sadly I also encountered many more who, how can I phrase this, were not wonderful at all. If our paths ever cross in the future I hope Dave will resist the temptation to try to bury his tommohawk in the side of my shull.

regards and best wishes”

“And you cant just visit these 2 clubs they are a members only club”

“@dtiley
Have been in both just a few weeks ago and they are very badly in need of refurbishment ,like i said they both need a lot doing to them and the mananger of the Labour club is Sharon not sean i think due to he has a court case to sort of before he can do any thing as a manager.They are a very nice couple and i hope they do well as i have know both for a good many years (also i am a member of the sports club)
And as for missing your drift i was commenting about something someone said on here not anything else ,so i didnt miss your point i just didnt comment on it”

“Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Well words like bigot and racist are all intended to silence it in it's tracks. I see nothing wrong with calling something what it is. Far worse things in life to deal with than this pettiness.”
