After another gridlocked BANK HOLIDAY weekend.
TIME TO REFLECT AND RUMINATE ON THE VORTEX OF DESPAIR AND ITS INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES.
Cornwall Council is teflon coated, nothing sticks as it staggers from one balls up to the next while seemingly impervious to the damage and misery it is inflicting on its ''clients'' who are forced to pick up the considerable ever increasing tab for its arrogance and ineptitude.
We are reaching the conclusion that communication with such an awful organisation is counterproductive best let them stew and fester while the people of Cornwall gather in the slipstream of, as in this very week on this page one Lady so perceptively put it, '' the vortex of despair'', that surrounds Kremlin Kernow.
Northampton County Council has crashed and burned while Barnet (the former Manor of the present Cornwall Council CEO Kate Kenally) teeters on the brink with others like Cornwall Council likely to follow in the foreseeable future.
Some may see the accompanying picture as dark but we put it to you all that nothing less quite sums up the harm that Cornwall Council is currently inflicting as they systematically dismember ''God's Country'' on the high altar of limitless growth (and debt).
