Bill Thomas

Long long post, welcome to HV and an interesting read.

Welcome to the club, be good to see some of our new members joining in the debates too, we don't bite (much) 

Hi Bill..if you are making reference to the events in Cologne well a friend of mine was parked up in a hotel across the front of the station on New Years Eve with his girlfriend and admits it was scary. They had come up from Dusseldorf. If you want to create an image of gangs of men pleasing themselves and police numbers powerless to do anything..Well that's what it was like.

This single event is swaying opinion in Germany.

I think it is going to only get worse. I agree with Alex last comment that Angela Merkel has opened pandoras box.

Any attack we have here will be just like all the rest by radicalised Muslims

What are your thoughts on what went on in Germany?

This is going off topic a little. I see that Sky News are now reporting this issue in Germany Bless Angela Merkel..

Yes getting back to the original topic, I believe that border control within the EU needs to be put back in place, but unfortunately far far too many (apparent) refugees have been let in without so much as a check and I fear sleeper cells will be among them. 

I noticed the electronic sign moving about a lot in the wind, would they of needed planning for such a sign?

Lets hope they catch these people. Did the new CCTV not pick anything up?

This is good news for Hereford. Another good scoop Colin, lets see how long it takes the HT to publish this, i'm sure they follow you.

Best of luck to them. 

I'm not sure I'd advise calling the police every time there is noise!

 

Surely it's better to try other routes first?

 

Calling the police out regularly will most definitely inflame the situation.... and I'm pretty sure that at this time of year, all three emergency services have other priorities.

Yes I agree with dippy, calling the police overtime is a total waste of their limited resources, so this is poor advice and surely only a last resort. 

worse than that the officer who parked here, was giving a ticket out to somebody who was parked on zig zag white lines in bottom of picture !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How would you know that for sure? 

I don't like Mr Nenaditch and this lot stinks to me! 

Hi,had to comment after reading this thread as politics tends to be a pet subject of mine . Bill,may i ask you a question? what makes Corbyn so dangerous in your opinion?

Is he any more dangerous than Cameron and all his cuts to the NHS,police services,council serviced etc?...

 

One could make the argument that the labour partys extreme turn to the left is a reaction to the conservatives hard thatcherite policies over the past five years.my point is political extremism seams rife these days in both wings of politics

 

Personaly I don't trust any of the current crop of politicians,they all seam to be in it all for themselves

First of all welcome to HV. 

I think he is dangerous, mainly for his comments on Trident in that he would never use it. I share the view that we need Trident, this is our deterrent more so now than ever before.

I have other views on JC, he is waaaaaay to left wing for me too. I love the way the lefties state we are bombing Syria, instead of saying we are precision targeting ISIS within Syria. I think JC seems to think he can sit down and have a chat over a cup of tea with these extremists, bloke is in noddy land and therefore dangerous. 

Well it must of been bad to ave been closed down, unfortunately subscribers of TripAdvisor  only get to comment on the food and service, people never get to see the kitchens and where food is prepared.

The place still looks very tacky and not in keeping with the surrounding area. Two tones make it even worse!

The man is dangerous in my opinion and he needs to go!

this is on newmarket street

This topic is about cleaning road signs, this one looks very clean 

I can't comment any more sorry but business as usual. It a shame the hop pole is not open for Christmas to add some more nightlife to commercial road. I don't think FC in the old fusion site will be adding to the night time economy.

FC will probably make more noise and cause more nuisance then any other establishment in Commercial Rd going from past events. Good luck with everything Paul, you run a good pub and with no problems, hope christmas is busy for you all. 

It has already been passed Bill and we are using it currently with no issues, so business as normal.

Can you clarify a little more Paul, why the additional court case?

I thought this had already been passed?

Well I hope that this is the top coat, it looks a much better than the first attempt. Still quite surprised nobody did a small test area first instead of having to paint the whole frontage before someone noticed it was wrong. 

Is this not next to the local police station too? 

Any updates on these sheltered houses?

This is a magical Christmas photograph. 

Both Cllr Bob Preece and Cllr Chris Chappell have been opposed to this garage application since it was first submitted back in February 2012. I stick to my original comments which you will find here.

I could not agree more. The issue is the traffic and the councils failure to deal with it, this should have nothing to do with Asda's planning application.

I agree with what K.Butt wrote back then because both Cllr's clearly think there will be additional traffic which is not going to happen in reality.
