Bookmaker paid out £800,000 on Hillary Clinton win - 20 days BEFORE the US election
Paddy Power made the decision after Donald Trump's numbers took a dive.
After our last General election result then Brexit you would have thought folk would have learned the lesson of not listening to what the polls predict.
I might stick a fiver on Nigel becoming Prime minister

I'll get back about the rest when I have some time but your last sentence says it all really.
You are not a resident in West Bedlington Town Council area....................if you live in Bedlington Central especially the same area as the Trotter Memorial you do live in the West Bedlington Council area and that monument is certainly within our remit as its slap bang in the middle of our patch! Send your hundred dollars to the "Jail Hillary" campaign.
Well Malcome I live behind the Blue Bell pub and I had no idea that was part of the west end of Bedlington maybe I need to buy a new compass mine must be broken.I never knew front street was in the west end. I think that fact will surprise a few residents.
I look forward to hearing your reply to the rest of my post when you are not so busy and are in a better mood.
I will leave the hounding of Mrs Clinton to those have some understanding of what they are a actually taking about as I am just a simple working class chap who knows nothing

……..
First moving the memorial back would actually be wise on account of us promoting the Town on the back of its heritage.
Secondly it would actually save money if done correctly and who said our council would be paying for it?
Thirdly it would give any visitor an immediate impression of a place proud of its heritage.
Lastly most people will pass it daily and never see it, or understand its significance, where it is.
.
Now then Moe as far as not knowing what we are doing or doing something for the sake of it, and I’m going to presume you actually live in West Bedlington and going out further on a limb I’ll assume you have some understanding of what you are a actually taking about, I think if you take the time and read through the newsletters we have been putting out for the last 2 years you will see a defined progression, financial propriety and a determination to carry ambitious projects out on behalf of residents, all within our pretty restrictive legal remit.
Malcome I wonder if you could explain how moving the monument to isolation in the middle of the roundabout so no one could get up close to it to read its scrip and examine its construction and stonework would be promoting the Town to visitors wanting to look at it,
Or how as you say it will save us money, what money are we spending on the monument now to save ? how can we save when we spend nowt on it .
Would moving the monument to isolation improve a visitors impression of our heritage, I dont think so Malcome. would moving Big Ben 30 feet improve the heritage of London ?
And as for folk passing next to it on the main footpath on front street daily and as you say they never see it do you honestly think moving it to isolation on the roundabout would make a difference to that.
Now you ask me if I am a a resident of West Bedlington Malcome and I will tell you now that I am not, I am a resident of Bedlington Central the same area that the Trotter Memorial resides in, so the one hundred dollar question has to be what has the Trotter Memorial got to do with West Bedlington Town Council Malcome .
I look forward to reading your reply .

I'm not qualified to answer this Moe. I do, however, believe that public toilets across the county are managed by NCC. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Checking on a few Town councils they do actually manage the public toilets http://www.morpeth-tc.gov.uk/services/public-toilets/
As for the cost of moving the monument I am sure the red tape costs alone would run the lavies for years ,
It sounds like another hair brained scheme from folk who know they should be doing something but not sure what that something should be

If I'm thinking correctly, that's NCC's remit, not WBTC.
Then why dont the WBTC take over the toilets as other town councils have done.
Money better spent on toilets instead of squandering it playing chess with Trotters monument .
-
I have a better idea LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS .
Why squander more taxpayers money on something that is unnecessary and will benefit no one ,
The monument is accessible to the minority of people who may wish to see it close up , isolating it in the middle of a busy roundabout sounds like the most crazy idea and waste of public money ,
Why not use that cash to open the public toilets

Is Nigel packing his bag for his new job yet?
No back of the queue for the UK now
Ukip’s Nigel Farage is heading to the United States this weekend where he will probably become the first British politician to meet Donald Trump since his shock election victory.

Why divint they clagg the monument in the car park of that giant carbuncle on the landscape shop they are building, then folk can compare what wonderful heritage and architecture we used to have compared to the mess the Town is being turned into.
It will take more than a few swings and illuminated Christmas puddings to pull Bedders back from the brink.

Why paramedics are spending weeks queuing in the newest emergency centre.An investigation by the BBC's Inside Out programme found that over nine months ambulance crews spent almost 2,900 hours in queues - the equivalent of an on-duty paramedic waiting an entire year.
Paramedics booking in patients at the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, in Cramlington, are facing waits of up to two hours

Not necessary, Moe! Simply never watch anything on the BBC, or any programmes as broadcast live, and use a catch up service (NOT BBC iPlayer) and you can legally cancel your licence. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/tv-licence
That is a very interesting read mercury, I believe at one time you had to have a license to watch any TV station

BBC is still running its project fear remain campaign,
I was watching early morning news this week and the presenter was giving a dramatic warning about how IMPORTED bread milk and eggs would increase in price
I want a TV that does not receive BBC programs so I no longer have to pay them the yearly ransom to keep its luvvies in champagne

And dont forget about this weeks latest unbelievable appointment,....... you could not make it up if you tried
The head of the BBC was accused of ‘extreme cronyism’ last night for appointing an ex-Labour minister as the broadcaster’s new radio chief without advertising the position.
Former culture secretary James Purnell was yesterday promoted to the specially created role of director of radio and education
The move means the former Labour MP will now have ‘editorial oversight’ over the largest public-service radio operation in the world, despite having no experience in programme-making.
But because he is so inexperienced, Beeb chiefs are hiring another Director of Radio on an expected salary of up to £150k to help the £295k a year head of radio on a “day-in-day out” basis.

Surely you are not saying the BEEB is biased Threegee,
I have just about given up on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation and on SKY.
I have grown bored of watching programs with audiences top heavy with left-wing Luvvies who scream racist or sexist at anyone who dares to disagree with them

Looking at the Journal/ Chronicle it says that the Wansbeck constituency would no longer exist and that Ashington would become part of Berwick, and that Bedlington would become part of the Blyth constituency.

It does its the west end of front street, not the west end of Bedlington same as Millfield North is in the east end of Bedlington., but I am sure you knew that
The Grapes address is 68 Front street west and it is most certainly not in the west end off town
By such reasoning North Ridge would not be in the west end, Shields road would be near Tynemouth and Bells place would be on top of St Cuthberts Church
The West end of Bedlington starts from the Wharton arms always has and always will, but I am sure your moral support will be appreciated
