It Would Seem That The River....

.... of discontent that runs through Exeter is deeper and murkier than even I had thought possible.
I believed that I had achieved a personal peak of cynicism, that I and many others, generally without their even realising it, have spent years cultivating. However, a brief chat with a few fellow peasants (residents) of this Devonian 'Jewel in the Crown', have empowered me to attain even greater heights of scepticism.

It has become clear that much of what ails this City can be laid fairly and squarely at the door of 'authority' and the self-seeking individuals and organisations that they have, and continue to, support, in the mistaken belief that 'they all knew what was best' for the people of this city. Yes, the people, remember them? Or have you all lost sight of the them as you climb your way up the greasy pole of self-interest?
