Today I decided to ring Jon Johnson & ask him straight out if he was a member of FC? his reply was that he used to be but was now no longer a member? I informed him that there was a flyer going round with his name on it saying vote conservative vote for freedom church! I also ask if he would come on the voice & dispel the rumours? He said he'd have a look at the thread then comment. so I'm hopeful he will come on the voice to state what he stated to me that he is not a member of FC anymore?…however I will be surprised if he does though & if he doesn't then I will be very suspicious as to why not?……So as to leave me thinking he was not being honest when he told me he was no longer a member!!!

On the bright side Colin, tomorrow is looking like a much dryer day!

Yes well that's a disgrace how it's be allowed to remain in such a dilapidated state of disrepair the council along with English heritage should be able to compulsory purchase such properties @ a very reduced rated so as in order to put it right? But I guess they have not done this as they have no money?

I can't say that I've ever been to the turning on of the Christmas lights, but I'm sure if something was put together & done professionally,glow stick sellers free I'm sure it could work rather well?!

I think the fair is a good old Hereford tradition & is great for the younger generations so long may it continue! It's also great to see high town being made use of in the evening as a social gathering place…would be great to see it being used to stage a concert or like now & again!

I have to warn you bobby there's probably no ale to be had there…as for the last ten years FC have been filling pitchers with water,which they then try turning into wine?…but the best they have ever managed is to turn it into vinegar! so it's either that or a spell on the wagon I'm afraid?!

& chuck em at lest £20 as a redemption fee then I'm sure you'd be welcomed into the fold with open arms bobby!!!

I have to agree with GK to get people out of there cars is the biggest problem you face how you achieve changing peoples attitudes into get out of there cars may prove to big a mount to climb but if you do manage to do it? you may well feel as if you've climbed Everest especially with more & more vehicles on our roads with the trend set to continue?!…it's going to be tough Amanda but I think you have sprite for the fight?!

I think charities should stay impartial when there's a election on?… there should be no need for them to take sides with any particular political party,as it should make no difference to any charity who's in power!…… unless of course they have a hidden agenda? In which they seek preferential treatment back for there support?!

SPECTRE I see certain similarities with freedom church…could this be where Gary Snowzell's gets his inspiration from?

This was on HT Facebook page back in January the comments on there make for interesting reading. https://www.facebook.com/herefordtimes/posts/952737551404857

It could turn into a wake for Jon Johnson's political career?…or is that wishful thinking?

Either brave or suicidal? But the revenue raise could be spent on making Hereford a cycle friendly place & help pay for other public transport schemes?! I also think that like GK we need a orbital road around Hereford with two new river crossings one east & one west eventually?…otherwise with all these new house planned things will only get worse in the centre?

If the dog was running around lose without the owner? then I'd believe the farmer but if the owner was with the dog? then I would find it hard to believe that they would allow there dog to run around lose in a field full of sheep!

Dave Greenow has reported to the police about a dog worrying sheep…report on Hereford times website.

GK your a true gent…even if I do not manage to get round to visiting costa I thank you anyway sir as it is very kind of you!

This is just a thought & probably a totally mad one not to mention that,it will more than likely be unpopular too?…how about a congestion charge…there I've said it!!!

Take heart Amanda you can't please the people all of the time,but if you can please them most of the time,then you will do just fine & at lest they will know you can & will fight there corner! Besides it keeps you human to know that not everyone will agree with your views so will allow you to feel empathy & work towards a better future for everyone!

It's great to see some of our perspective cllr's elect such as Amanda,jimbo,Seb& daszzo333 to name but a few engaging with us folks on the voice… long may it continue especially after the elections whether or not they do get elected?

Chris I have total respect for you as your one of the few cllr's who can be both to come onto the voice & intereact with us guys on a regular basis & might I add long may it continue…but I think your missing the point? I think this has to do with honesty & being transparent unless a perspective candidate had something to hid why would they not declare an interest to a organisation if there was one when asked? After all i'd want to know, because if they have an interest to organisation who's views & methods I disagreed with then that could affect,if I voted for them or not?…otherwise I could well feel cheated of my vote if I was not made aware of a link & then vote for them!

I'd say I'm in agreement with you,about what people do with there wages it's there's, they earn't it,so it's up to them what they do with it & some would rather give there's to a charity & some would rather give it to a publican?!… but as long as it is not illegal or money laundering or some other illegal activity then it's there business. Also as long as it is not coerced out of them by any type of organisation may they be religious or other?…then that I do have a problem with. But there are some organisations out there that I'd consider, use unethical methods to obtain peoples hard earned cash then I also have a problem with that! I give to charity what I can afford some months it's more,some months it's less…also I do have a issue about how some of these charities go about raising there revenue,it can be aggressive & intimidating!

All I can say to that decision by these moronic judges is A.R.S.E!!!!!!

Well done Amanda glad to hear some common sense has prevailed. Must be such a relief for you & Julian…nows the time for some answers so good luck & stay strong! Shame they could not have made this decision sooner, so as you did not have to take time out to go to court today?!
