HAYDON WICK PARISH COUNCIL CALL POLICE TO STOP DEMOCRACY

As some of you may be aware, tomorrow was supposed to be the date that we held a meeting in Haydon Wick concerning a possible referendum, which would of given the local people a chance to voice their opinions on the proposal.

This was the opportunity for true democracy to take place; however, the local councillors have gone against their duty- ie, provide the local people with a voice, be them on a local or national issue- and have called the police to ensure that I do not turn up tomorrow to hold this very important meeting. They have also failed to contact me concerning this, and have left the police banging on my door to tell (warn?) me not to turn up tomorrow. To be honest, if they didn't want me to hold the meeting they could of told me, either by phone, post or email, since I provided them with all three details.

This has forced me to cancel the meeting. The council are refusing to hold this meeting and in essence are against giving the people of Haydon Wick a voice. But don’t threat, this certainly will not deter us from what we aim to achieve- true democracy!

After discussing this with other local committee members, we have decided we will hold a parish meeting in January when we have found an appropriate location in the parish, since the parish council will not allow us use of the public building.

As promised you were found out. With a little research.

Guess the 1000 year Reich will have to wait a while.

Go back to putting up stickers, it's your limit. Taking them down gives me something to do on the way to the pub.
