Did we just out ourselves as being partial to a bit of Taylor Swift? Probably. There’s no shame even if we remain anonymous. Those with their notepads taking details of Debunking’s habits and pre-dilections to guess who we are have now got something to add to their lists along with a penchant for Bridgerton. Lady Whistledown however we are not, and we aren’t likely to get royal approval (spoiler).
So what has been happening with us recently, well we’ve been enjoying some quiet time, a contribution to the mailbag suggests we must be an ex councillor as we quote “as the gossip and inside information has dried up quicker than Brina’s Mrs when he gets into bed with her”. Well really! We have come over all faint. No the truth is actually more mundane, people in the politcal sphere in Tamworth have generally stopped behaving badly (at least that we have heard of). For example Kingstone, now his short term goal of ousting Councillor Robert Pritchard out of his borough seat has been met, has gone back to giving the illusion of being respectable by posting his usual diet of planning applications and roadworks. Of course if people were that interested they’d go find it themselves. There appears to be a new trend of Councillors and candidates posting updates like this to make themselves look useful and spoonfeed their voters.
Of course the exception to the rule is the not so local troll Paul Brina Brindley (Failed businessman, abysmal Councillor, Master of Arseholery, Knobhead of note). He has been so abysmally boring, we had simply stopped bothering reporting on him. The troll it appears, cannot any longer come up with anything original that even his own readers are noticing:
This comment has since been deleted from the Spotted Tamworth article by the fragile ego that is Brina. We can only imagine Facebook has had to extend the limit on how many people you can ban from a page to cater for Brina’s sensitivity. Brina to further his own agenda is back to pretending people have sent things in to his page that start with ‘pp’ or ‘please post’, which is interesting since they only appear to do so conveniently during election time, and all seem to be written the same. You can be almost certainly guaranteed that the post at the top of this article with Eddie Hughes starring in a punch and Judy show was not sent in by a human, just a troll. People generally don’t give a shit. On one hand this is unfortunate given what is at stake when a dodgy political party like reform are seen as a decent alternative, on the other, it makes these posts pretending to be from real people even more laughable. The troll is literally sitting there making so much effort in his butt hurt rage, that you could pity him if you really tried (actually no, no pity).
This stuff is so highly boring, and unoriginal that we nearly were not bothered enough to write about it. However if we didn’t then we would be neglecting to highlight to any new readers of our site, what this excuse for a ‘man’, a former Councillor who hasn’t lived in Tamworth for quite some time now, does to extract petty revenge on a party who eventually saw him for what he was, refused to give him any real responsibility, causing him to quit the Council in a tanty fit. Ironically, he complains about Eddie Hughes now standing in Tamworth to keep his MPs job, when Brina had to run off to Leicestershire to pillage them, since he pissed off so many people in Tamworth. Given the tiny amount of engagement on the political posts Brindley puts up on Spotted Tamworth, it is evident to us that in fact people just ignore it and filter it out, especially when it is literally the same playbook rolled out every single election period. Remember that this page has (at the time of writing) 56 thousand followers, and barely a handful at the most comment on this drivel. Brina is whilst sometimes entertaining to poke fun at, is basically irrelevant now when it comes to his politics and the noise he generates amidst posts about lost cats wallets keys and adverts for crappy businesses who pay him because their word of mouth reputation is so bad.
As ever, everyone knows we are not fans of the National Socialist Labour, and reform are essentially promising a free unicorn with every vote knowing they can’t and won’t have to make any of their ‘contract’ with the people happen. What we don’t do is force our political views down everyone’s throat. Anyone intelligent makes their own minds up from many sources, and we would be horrified if that was just us. Brina, we feel, is preaching to people who lack the intelligence and critical thinking skills to do this. Those that do, have probably already left the page, or will do if one of his posts eventually appear in their timeline. Whilst Brina is not yet bored of being one of Britain’s biggest arseholes, surely even someone as dense as he, can see how utterly bloody boring he is.
