Joe Townsend Noels HQ

Joe Townsend who was seriously injured in Afghanistan with 40 Commando (Marines) was refused permission by Wealden District Council to build a bungalow. So Noel Edmonds (along with everyone else bar a few councillers) thought this was a disgrace so highlighted it on his TV show: Noel's HQ.

And well fucking done to Jim Vanderbose (sp?) for refusing to be pressured to come onto this ENTERTAINMENT show.

Whatever Noel Edmonds thinks, the whole point of this show is to feed his massive ego, and that's all Sky care about too.

The day decisions of legality and politics are thrashed out before a baying mob of thick audience members (listening to opinions of people wearing large foam hands?!) overseen by a kids TV presenter is the day that the country truly has gone to the dogs.

Well Said Noel.

I Totally Agree.

@dizzywhore1804 Why thumbs up. Sure those laws and regulations are there for a reason. To make society just and not to upset the majority. But he is letting some guy who has fallen down the cracks out. He offered his life and when he lost a leg, people didnt want a bungalow built near them in the middle of no where. common sense prevails ratehr than law. hence why we have jurys and appeals courts. The poor guy deserves a home near his parents. Although Noel is an egomaniac.

Good for Noel for standing up and saying what many people have wanted to say about this story.

Whether he did it in the right kind of way or not, the point is, Joe had every right to have his independence and his own house, especially after everything he went through.

People need to stop slating Noel for speaking out. It's not like people in this country don't moan about the government and councils every day. So why is he any different?

What an absolute wanker you are.

It's ironic that someone like Marine Townsend fights for this country and preserves democracy. The exact same democracy that allows you to post the vile, spiteful shit that you did on here.

I can't comment on Mr Edmonds but from where I'm sitting there's only one twat around here. Take a look in the mirror.

[wenger1972]

Right okay lets put this bearded twat right

1) The Council rejected it. But they were willing to look at alternatives.

2) Being in the armed forces does not give you special privileges like not having planning regs apply to you just because you had your legs blown off. Nor should it. The same rules apply to everyone.

What exactly does he mean when he says its' "your show"? Does he believe that every one of his viewers agree with him? And if its "our show" then why do you need to pay to watch it (on Sky)?

[mellowNdark]

Is he a tory?

[mellowNdark]

True but so is Noel and this show. slight hint of emotional black mail but i agree it stinks they wont build it.

[TimothyJarman]

well done, really well done. the UK is a complete joke.

Noel Edmonds is an absolute washed up dick. His nasty little character keeps seeping out on naff shows like this. Maybe thats why Sky didn't buy his personal rant show for a second series.
