Seed going full Lance Armstrong in his defence "I have never been convicted of any wildlife offence or had any such allegation heard before a court".

I am definitely a leftie vegan snowflake and will admit my bias in this, but I sincerely hope Seed doesn't get this role.

With their present  record of putting forward divisive candidates basically trolling people I am surprised they haven't put someone convicted of a serious crime forward.

Cracking defence that. "It wasn't illegal to maim, mutilate and kill animals when I was doing it."

OK then!

Gets us all along with the inevitable ear hole forest. My hairdresser does more off my lugoles and eyebrows than my Barnet these days, or so it seems.

Genuine question.

Did Jackie Weaver have authority in that meeting, or was she just some standard bod running rampant? It's bugging me that I don't know.

She's from the Cheshire Association of Local Councils, if that's of any help? No idea, ha!

When logged in each member’s IP address is listed. Isn’t my VPN supposed to cloak that, or am I missing something?

The IP address the forum logs will be that of the VPN, not the one issued by your ISP. That's kind of the whole point of a VPN.

No your VPN doesn't hide the IP address as such, you have to have an IP of sorts, it generates you an IP that is not "YOUR" IP, you chose which country you wish to pretend to be from and it allocates you a set of ip addresses relating to that country.

It doesn't remove your IP totally.

Genuine question.

My interpretation is that she had been invited in to try and sort out issues within the Council (as illustrated by the chairman (who had apparently refused to hold meetings for a while) claiming to be the Clerk, the vice chair appearing to have serious anger management issues), a quick look at the PC's website suggests there are serious issues and I assume she was supposed to be  acting as some sort of independent party to try and get people talking (and doing what a PC is supposed to do rather than shouting at each other!)

FWIW local democracy from my experience is usually full of cliques and little fiefdoms where members hate to lose the perceived power they hold, such meetings are often a case study in passive agression.

Quite. I just wondered what my IP address that pops up actually relates to.

Still couldn’t listen to the BBC TofT Power interview, though even when my VPN was connected to the UK.
