I could block brave people like yourself from posting anonymously but I’m a champion of free speech (whilst it still exists in the UK) so I continue to allow anonymous comments.<br /><br />Under the Capital Grants section of the document I screen-grabbed from Thurrock Council’s website, you will find a section entitled Highways and Environment. Now, whilst the funds may be allocated to certain specific projects, there is no reason why, given that the Tory administration is so financially responsible (yeah, right) that they couldn’t either make some of that money available through the use of efficiency savings or finding cheaper suppliers/contractors (let’s face it, it’s not as though the Tories aren’t already doing some questionable things for their own ends, both in Thurrock and Westminster) or they could apply for a small top-up grant for a one-off spruce up project which encompasses all the items listed under Highways and Environment. I’m sure that the former suggestion would suit the Tories better as they are underhanded by nature.<br /><br />Do feel free to have another go at me because I’ve got all the time in the world.<br />Valen Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632980422706738310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129695956681612941.post-56442093956548351782017-09-12T14:39:16.210+01:002017-09-12T14:39:16.210+01:00To suggest that Capital Grants could be used for t...To suggest that Capital Grants could be used for the maintenance of parks and green space tells me that you don't have a very good understanding of the way public sector finance works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129695956681612941.post-35447660361330211422017-06-09T07:00:41.052+01:002017-06-09T07:00:41.052+01:00.well written, and could equally apply to Basildon....well written, and could equally apply to Basildon or Harlow constituencies. a great read and keep up with the blogging. very interested to read further entries to your blog. do you have weblinks to these?<br /><br />Stephen Alden<br /><br />Aldensteve80@gmail.com<br />@Essexsteve78Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17251851794889873833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129695956681612941.post-14393338122033908152017-06-02T23:52:21.637+01:002017-06-02T23:52:21.637+01:00refill the complaint and put tell them your not ha...refill the complaint and put tell them your not happy with there reply and the fill out a ofcom complaint Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129695956681612941.post-89389939924393355832017-06-02T23:09:24.197+01:002017-06-02T23:09:24.197+01:00I also complained to the BBC re News at One simila...I also complained to the BBC re News at One similar bias against Mr Corbyn.

Valen wanted one thing and one thing only. He wanted Kitty to agree with him on everything he said. It's not unusual for those seeking to control to feel "insulted" and go on to smear a person's character publicly and also harass them personally. Differences of opinion isn't the issue here between Valen and Kitty. It's about Valen throwing his rattle out of his pram (rage) just because Kitty didn't completely agree with him and it wouldn't surprise me if you, Anonymous, if not a flying monkey, are in fact Valen himself.
