@afneil As someone with deep Scottish DNA, it is way past the time that Scotland stops this English bashing. It is repugnant, bigoted and stupid. The Scottish education system encourages it. It is time that it is called out. Isn't it illegal like other bigotry?

@PantilesLiving @TWlibdems They have not shown any yet so we can live in hope.

@VotePembury @Kilkeerock @timeslocalnews I gather from above you don’t read the full accounts, check the detailed figures published on the web, or actually understand what I said. You also appear to enjoy insulting me rather than accepting other people’s opinions are worth discussing.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@Twellsense @VotePembury @Kilkeerock @timeslocalnews Unfortunately you are comparing funds which include all debt, money still owed to KCC, the Police etc. The true comparable number in 2002 was £5.1million (only 10% of your number). So either you are misreading the accounts or deliberately misleading your followers.

@MilkyBerriii @maryharristw The vast majority of all people in the UK are abhorred by murder. We are all struggling to help get the rate of murder down - which thankfully it is. However we need it to reduce faster. There are no easy answers. We need to look out for everyone's safety and teach our young

@sueabish @martinbrice1 So rescuing people in the English Channel is heartless is it? Encouraging more to travel by boat, which appears to be your preference is a warm and cuddly thing to do, tempting been more to risk their lives. Are you sure your policy and statement is not totally back to front?

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@sueabish @martinbrice1 It is just simply more TAX to be paid by residents on property they already own.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@markstraffellis Of course Mark, most companies cannot could on future funds without adapting and working with a series of short run revenue flows.

@TomTugendhat It is an unfortunate fact that the money spent in supporting the country during COVID has to be paid back (with interest). Unfortunately, anyone who gets equal to or better than inflation increase, is not paying their share.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@alanbullion2 Rules designed in 2015 before COVID enforced at the start of the high season without consideration of how things have changed. Rules for rules sake rather than flexibility and consultation at the end of the season. Long story. Bad enforcement

@james_rands Operational management surplus achieve both years under COVID. Published Financial Statements show substantial operational surplus and massive increase in assets values achieved the investments while also sending large sums on looking after existing properties.

@james_rands The haemorrhage in staff leaving has occurred during 2022/23 - inal figure for the year still to be released but understood to be around 24%

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@james_rands What exactly is your financial training? MSc, MBA, SFA? Oh it is counter intelligence. Does that include misleading the ‘enemy’ or in this case the voters? Growth of Car Parking income was revenue recovering post-COVID - obviously not included in the budget as required by rules

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@james_rands @Abulbahar821 So you still have not read the published Financial Statement or the basis on which the budgets are set. Perhaps you should attend the course for non-financially trained councillors.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@james_rands It would appear incredible for an ‘intelligence’ officer not to read or simply ignore the published Financial Statements or the 3rd Qr report or the budget assumptions from which my letter took the various figures and assumptions.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@markstraffellis @Twellsense @james_rands Yes it was and lead by the Conservative administration through a Working Group that I formed. It is notable that the existing administration has not continued to find ways that ALL parties can work together but have sought to ignore a substantial part of residents and councillors

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@Twellsense @james_rands A rather silly comparison as the Town Hall was to be leased as a hotel and apartments or other major development and the office complex was to also have 2/3rds for rent. The total asset value should be combined. The combined income to the Council much much greater.

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

@james_rands Dont you ever read the basis of Council projections? The forecasts had to be based on the potential continuation of COVID. I suggest you write that out 100 times until you fully get it!

[David Scott @DavidScotttw]

Fantastic what Samual Darby has achieved in the Pantiles - a sympathetic refurbishment of the historic Chalybeate Spring in a way that supports its heritage. #DelightedRTW
