THEY MAY PATRONISE AND PRETEND TO LISTEN, BUT STILL THEY REFUSE TO HEAR. WE SAY THAT IT IS BETTER TO DIE STANDING THAN TO LIVE LIFE ON OUR KNEES. Octogenarian Truro City Councillor, Mrs Armorel Carlyon, recently put an estimated seventy hours work into a damning response to the consultation relating to proposed reform of the National Planning Policy Framework, which will almost certainly be ignored. This is what our network of campaigners, who all work so hard to stop the madness we are witnessing, are up against when dealing with a virtual dictatorship whose mind is already made up. While the enemy might patronise and claim to listen, in reality they never actually seem to hear what is being said, because it is inconvenient to them Nonetheless with Mrs Carlyon’s fearless input into the work of Cornwall 4 Change and Cornish Solidarity, we have a staunch ethical colleague who will not be silenced. It is hard to convey the respect we hold her in, as our leading light, wise counsel and beacon of hope in times of doubt. www.change.org/p/cornwall-council-we-the-undersigned-wish-to-express-a-vote-of-no-confidence-in-cornwall-council The Carillion collapse has forced the Government to set up an inquiry and we are able to respond. I think my main concern is the seeming “collision” of the accountants and the plundering of the Pension Fund together with the greed of the Directors.... do have a read and just send a few lines in response.

At least half a dozen, at the last count... and all supported, aided and abetted by Mason (phil.mason@cornwall.gov.uk), Betty (John.betty@cornwall.gov.uk), planning inspectors, Duchy, Tregothnan, MPs (guilty by silence and non-action whilst their party rules) and some councillors (either overtly “corrupt”, eg.
