Working hard for Bath

@bath_voice The way they are peeing money up the wall, it will never happen. Bristol to Bristol Airport, maybe, I hope so. Bristol to Bath is already well served by road and rail.

🥳Congratulations to Cllr Graham Hardwell on holding Longwell Green in South Gloucestershire!

So says somebody who claims back her heating and travel costs from the public purse.

The UK mayor of Bath, Dr Bharat Pankhania, has apologized for sharing a series of posts that claimed the firebombing of Jewish ambulances outside of a synagogue were "Israeli false flags" and "insurance fraud."

He said that "I have been made aware that I have reposted or replied to some posts which have never aligned to my values and beliefs, and which are abhorrent."

So, he wasn't aware that he shared antisemitic conspiracy theories that a hate crime on Jews was actually just the Jews greedily trying to get insurance payouts and sympathy? Was he sleep-liking posts?

If you can't truly acknowledge what you did wrong, then an apology is meaningless. You can't change behavior you won't acknowledge.

Dr Pankhania should spend time with the Jewish community talking about the effect his posts had if he truly wants to make this situation better.

I don't sign petitions very often, and won't sign one asking for a councillor to quit.

Not my ward, not my councillor.

But if somebody started a petition asking @bob_combedown to run if Cllr Apologies quit ..... then 🤔🤔maybe I would get off my high horse and sign.

[Cllr Karen Walker @Karenwalker3434]

On behalf of the #IndependentsForBANES Group, I’ve written to @MayorBath’s Secretary and the Charter Trustees formally asking for the resignation of Cllr Bharat Pankhania as City Mayor. Antisemitism and support for antisemitic conspiracy theories have no place in our society!

@doctorshaib You disseminate misinformation, spread hatred among communities and you should be sacked from any public roles. Your attendance in council meetings are disgraceful. You should be fired from being Mayor and councillor and be put in prision like Lucy.

[Graham Pristo @GPristo]

@doctorshaib The Mayor of Bath is a position that requires a significant level of public service, you have failed.

You have clearly used the position to enhance your own profile.

Turn up now and again for Council meetings and represent Combe Down rather than yourself.

Jacob Rees Mogg talks about how the Labour Party and specifically Keir Starmer are terrified of voters and this is why they are cancelling elections. 👏👏

Starmer is Frightened of Voters but he is Terrified of Reform.

Cancelling voting is not a democracy it’s a dictatorship.

@Angiemut @Wera_Hobhouse LibDem Wera “fighting for” British bike manufacturers while buying a German bike for herself sums her right up…

I want my daughters to live in a country where their right to single-sex spaces isn’t under attack from their own government.

Same old Libdems - always lying.

1. The funding was NOT "awarded after a bid from @Bathnes Lib Dem administration".

There was no bid.

The central govt allocated these funds.

2. And the govt havent "excluded.. Whiteway".

The local board will choose the boundary.

I think planning conditions & obligations “run with the land” and continue to apply regardless of who occupies the building. So a relaxation of the condition of no cars needs to be sought via an application to vary/remove the condition.

I dont see one.

We should ban all foreigners from claiming benefits. No loopholes or excuses. A total ban.

Though I yield to nobody in my view that BoJo was just about the least appropriate person to have as PM when Covid struck, I’m sceptical of the Hallet report’s claim that had he locked down a week earlier 23,000 lives would have been saved. First, it’s easy to be wise after the event. At the time nobody was quite sure what was happening. Second, that figure depends on modelling. And by now we should all have learned to be extremely sceptical of modelling.
