Ainsdale Tories: undisputed champions of community invisibility and masters of getting it all wrong!

 

It’s almost beyond the bounds of credulity when we hear today of Tories telling the Woodvale community that they want ‘more houses’ in the area, and that they have campaigned hard for residents. 

 This is big news to locals who are sincerely scratching their heads at such ridiculous Tory claims. These habitually invisible Conservative politicians seem to have made up their minds, all by themselves, to grab a few votes by launching into absurdity. 

The very last thing the increasing burdened commu...

SPEED KILLS: Southport’s deer population is suffering from vehicular impacts!

 

Drivers warned to 'Slow Down' along Sefton's deer-run areas, after fatalities. ***** Please sign and share our petition below *****
The velocity of a car etc hitting a deer, fox, hedgehog, hare, or any other form of British wildlife is massive and frequently lethal.
More speed equates with more injury and death. That is simply common logic.
Therefore, if anyone is genuinely serious about saving these wonderful creatures then first, they must address the excess speed problem.
In this case we are talk...

The great US plan to exterminate the buffalo and starve out the native peoples

 

US LAND GRAB POLICY AGAINST THE NATIVE PEOPLE. 

The great US plan to exterminate the buffalo and starve out the native peoples

During the 1800s, the U.S. Army realised that destroying the buffalo herds aided their efforts to force indigenous peoples onto reservations. The government of the US realised that as long as this food source was there, and as long as this key cultural element existed, it would have difficulty getting Indians onto reservations.

Colonel Richard I. Dodge in 1867 at Fort M...

LABOUR MADE THE DECISION TO REMOVE OUR CHILDREN’S A&E SERVICE!

Back in 2003, Southport lost vital hospital services for our kids, at the hands of the Labour administration. 

Many young parents today possibly have little understanding of past events, yet some of us kept our promise and retained archived material. 

I wrote an open letter (as below) to Labour’s Health Secretary, Dr John Reid,  about his party’s hated removal of Southport Hospital Services.

22° Halo over Southport

 

An impressive 22° halo around the Sun showed itself this afternoon, over Southport's sea shore.

Such halos form as sunlight (or moonlight) is refracted by millions of hexagonal ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere. Its radius, as viewed from Earth, is about the length of an outstretched hand at arm's length.
