The traffic chaos at the junction of Purton Road and Mead way tonight. A forerunner to what will happen when those 700 houses go up. Mainly becuase the familythat sold the land own another field next door.....
I was caught in that from Rodbourne all the way down Cheney Manor and Akers Way! Wondered what the hell was going on! |

Meekest apology ever. “I have apologised for using a word I shouldn’t have,” he said.
“I will publicly apologise as I have been asked to and I will continue to apologise. I don’t know how many more times I can say it but I will continue to do so.
“I used a word I shouldn’t have and I am sorry. It was a word used when I was growing up but I accept it was wrong. There are only so many ways I can re-word an apology but I will do so.” Translation: "I'm only apologising because I've been told to, I'm not really sorry and I don't really know what to say". It's not even a matter of the word that he used. It's the context in which it was used. Even if it wasn't an offensive word, the statement he made was still absolutely appalling. |

Having just looked up what he said I'd expect that sort of thing to come out of Frankie Boyle's mouth

Damn right. The word's a detail compared to the attitude it betrays, for which there's no apology, not that one is possible. And to drive home the cynicism, he makes it very clear that standing down would only be for opportunistic political motives, rather than out of any sense of honour: “I am considering my future as a mayor but if I do stand down it will be to campaign rather than over another issue.” Don't let people like this within a million miles of public office. People of Swindon, do your duty! |

Was this the same Mayor who used the term 'mongoloid' to describe disabled kids? I don't live in Swindon so have no idea, but remember hearing something about it on the radio when I arrived super early for a match one day last autumn.

Nick Martin behaves like Nick Martin. The issue here is that someone like that can become Mayor. He was unsuitable before this incident and he should have been sacked on the spot.

One post you just can't argue with. 20 odd years ago, one person who became mayor (think he was a councillor at the time) did me over for £7k. |

The man is an odious piece of shit. Going by my name you can probably work out he has been my local (Shaw and Nine Elms) Councillor for many years. The trouble round here is you could slap a blue rosette on a steaming pile of dog turd and it would still take at least 75% of the vote. Year after year the cunt knocks on my door asking if he can rely on my support, if I had a big dog, or any dog for that matter I would train it to go for the poisonous fuckers jugular so he understands how far my support will stretch. His side kick, Cllr Gary Perkins (Mr Wifi Swindon) is just as bad, the greasy cunt turns up at the village centre once every 4 years with a black bag and a litter picker so they have a photo for the Conservative campaign leaflet.
Like many, I have severely disabled people in my family, Martin will be pleased to hear there is no chance of them ever breeding, its just a shame the Mayor's parents didn't do the same 60 odd years ago.
Once this wretched government has its way the disabled will be left with even less dignity than a lot of them already have. Martin's comments just about sum up this whole big society bullshit, them and us. Thatcher summed it up when she said there is no such thing as society.
Nick Martin is an absolute disgrace.
