Lighthouse bell sounds again

“Your comment "patcrose" regarding "£40,000" came in very useful this week to demonstrate the incorrect information that is fed to the public via media forums. Copies of your wording on this and other Portishead/North Somerset Council subjects were handed out with a fact sheet on the bell which unlike media forums cannot be deleted with a single touch just because the truth happens to leave a bad taste in your mouth. I have pressed red for you already.”

“There are more ways than this website of circulating the truth "patcrose". And "Polyphase", if it wasn't for those who continually decide to press "report" every time a factual comment is posted, the subject would have disappeared by now. As it is, it is set to go on for ever..... until fact wins above fiction. Now as I promised earlier, I will downrate my comment. Whoops you can't see my promise any more can you!”

“Is this story never going to bell end?”

“Whoops oh silly me, forgot to mention that perhaps someone disliked me giving credit to The Bristol Port Company instead of our local town councillors? For the record, having seen the criticisms from one councillor in The Post regarding the funding for the Bell (DP), it was most surprising that he decided to go along for the unveiling ceremony. Oh, but then the press were there weren't they!”

“It gets so very predictable these days that whenever Mrs Hennessey, who has done more for this town than anyone else I have heard of, always gets targetted by the trolls who use the internet to bully and help hide true facts. The patcrose name always crops up to try to have a cheap shot at Mrs Hennessey. Why do you not simply do what I have done and search the internet and ask people to discover the truth behond the story? It appears that the council have hijacked a resident led campaign and have once again misinformed the public big time. Why, I have no idea but having been shown a video on youtube that someone put up about the town several years ago it appears very prophetic where it says something about the bell that doesn't ring anymore should be bought back to tell strangers what lurks in the town. At a guess I would assume they meant those who do the community an injustice by relying on misinformation and lies to further their own aims, and I do not belive that Mrs Hennessey fits that desciption but it is obvious who it was aimed at and so true of some local councillors. It does not help when those same people feed stories full of indescrepancies to the local media who accept them at face value. It is very disturbing to find that what seems to be a lovely town is being built on lies and it does not help when the patcroses of the world aim to further enhance those lies with misinformation.”

“I hope miss Hennessy and ms Thomas paid towards £40',000 cost especially as she is always complaining about how the council wastes money!”
