Re: comic advert for sandown isle of wight : Pride in Ryde?

Pride in Ryde?

Dirty Old Town
Performed by The Pogues.

The Ryde they don't want the holiday makers to see.
The Ryde where the people have to go without in order pay the exorbitant Council Tax, whilst enduring this squalid deprivation,so it can be squandered on pointlessly raking the beach everyday and the endless beds of flowers that are bought and thrown away every season.
The Ryde they pay lip service to.
The Ryde where they take the litter bins away so the tourist areas can have them every hundred yards.
The Ryde where the schools are/were.

Why is there only bad pictures?

[isleofwightinsider]

I guess the tourist board do a pretty good job of propaganda showing the side of the island they want to and I am leveling the balance a bit. And besides this is what its like, I haven't staged it just pointed the camera,and I kind of like it this way...its honest warts and all.

I see Cllr. Phlegmry Adams has been caught red handed spitting out of his dirty shop in Monkton street. What a disgrace that man is, just read the County Press and half the reports of vandalism and anti-social behaviour appear to be based around the Monkton street area. You can hardly wonder at it if that is how a Councillor is carrying on.

looks like something out of the Adams family too

Just returned from Island holiday:

£100+ to cross a couple of miles of water!

Weather was shit!

Roads are a dangerous disgrace!

Will we be returning?

NO

So the con trickster Joe Fuckworthless has gone back to Newham with his tail between his legs and once again Island residents have to foot the bill for this councils cock-ups....Same as it ever was.

A little piece of Detroit comes to a little piece of England - and to think in the Eighties I loved holidaying on IoW. Ryde looked quaint for sure but it wasn't a wreck. The writing was on the wall though: London's house prices met Liverpool's unemployment levels and the local "yoof" were openly hostile to holidaymakers. They obviously grew up still biting the hand that fed them and this is the result. Very sad.

I have just been there with my school for 5 days and it was very fun. i have stayed in sandown. i really miss it.

[wightman46]

Brilliant - shows just the results of just how corrupt the IWCC is. I grew up on the Island and in those days there was a pride in your town. Ryde Borough Council would never have allowed the town to get it in this state - there's progress for you. centralised bloated council, overpaid incomptetent top officials and what do you get no covic pride, falling services etc.

@tillybum84 i think u r fab

Thanks for the insight..

I am in the USA and at times think we have a monopoly on corruption in politics. It would seem you have the same problems over there.

I do not know how the citizenry will ever be able to hold our politicians criminally accountable for the things they do, and for the things they fail to do...

Those that are involved in corruption must be removed and forfeit ALL pay they received. PLUS a long lock up, followed by an ineligibility to be it any place of trust. Good Luck.
