A Land Fit For Heroes?
Whilst promising to return with a more serious post, TheEye didn’t think it would be this serious. There are times when the self-imposed ban on becoming a sweary blog is hard to maintain.
From the DailyLabourGraph we learn: Council blocks home for maimed marine.
Marine Joe Townsend (20) put his foot on a landmine in Afghanistan last February and it cost him both legs – one completely and one to the knee. So far so bad. But the scum who comprise Wealden District Council – who seem to have borrowed their moral compass from Adi Amin – have refused permission to build a wheelchair-friendly bungalow on land owned by his grandparents. No-one complained, but it was deemed “intrusive” and “in breach of planning laws”. No exceptions allowed.
The Head of Planning and Building Control for the council, Kelvin Williams, who seems to be more slimy than a tape-worm’s colostomy-bag, claims that an alternative offer of sticking a new shed on the back of the house or converting an “existing storage facility at the rear of the existing dwelling” (you can live in the garage) were adequate. No sign of the specially designed bathroom and carer’s room that he now needs.
This chap is a hero and deserves better from our country.
Tell that to Kelvin Williams….

I emailed the cunt politely.
Done
“There are times when the self-imposed ban on becoming a sweary blog is hard to maintain.”
I find your self restraint in this situation more than admirable so please allow me . . .
I find this whole situation unbe-fucking-lievable!
It’s fuckwit desk jockey guttersnipes like these that need to wake up and smell the fucking coffee!
What the buggery bollocks are these twats playing at?
These days it appears that unless you are a benefit claiming asylum seeking lesbian, with 9 kids (all from different unknown fathers), you haven’t go a hope.
emails have been duly sent to the twats responsible for this total lack of moral fibre
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply to the emails that I sent to these brainless fuckwits.
However, I wasn’t at all surprised at the highly predictable content. They still appear to be spouting exactly the same bollocks and without a hint of reconsideration.
I assume that all replies to the emails will be exactly the same (just like those ‘kind’ of tossers that write them). It was sent by Jim Van den Bos whoever the fuck that is!
Here is a copy of the reply, just in case you have not received yours yet.
There has been widespread public interest in the decision by Wealden’s Development Control South planning subcommittee regarding an application for a bungalow for Royal Marine Joe Townsend, who was injured in Afghanistan. We would like to clarify the Council’s position.
As a council we seek to support families who need to provide extended care facilities but the erection of a new bungalow out side of the development boundary would be intrusive and be in direct conflict with existing policies to restrain building in rural areas.
We have suggested an alternative which would involve building an annexe on to the existing dwelling belonging to a family member. Alternatively there is the possibility to convert an existing storage building at the rear of the existing dwelling to provide the required independent accommodation. The council has already indicated to the agent and family members that we are happy to discuss such a revised proposal.
Wealden District Council
Twats!
Got mine too. They are generic – straight off the back of a fag packet.
No surprise there.
I have heard on the grapevine that Wealden Council, with regard to ‘The Joe Townsend Affair’, will be getting an airing on Noel’s HQ programme next week.
I, for one, cannot stand that twat Edmonds but I will certainly be tuning in to Sky One next Saturday at 6pm to see if Wealden Council will finally be made to see sense and ‘do the right thing’ for Joe Townsend.
Just thought that you would like to know.
Cheers, I’ll watch. Will probably do a “reminder” post about the original article a few days before the program too.
Ta mutchly for the tip.
