Let’s have a sing song shall we.
“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go to Troll town
When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, Troll town”
(With obligatory apologies to Petula Clark)
Ah Paul Brina Brindley, what an absolute bloody superhero. What would those residents do without him. If he’s not talking himself up on his troll farm Spotted Tamworth he’s making sure everyone on the page, without irony, suggests he is ‘an independent voice for a better Tamworth’ knows how amazing he is.
Apparently the overgrown under bridge dwelling troll child gets constantly contacted by residents asking for advice. We’d suggest the fact that they’re struggling to get what they need is in fact because they’re daft enough to go looking for advice from some random bloke on Facebook just because he has Tamworth in his page title. Because of course, some bloke you’ve never heard of is going to help you with all your council queries aren’t they.
We highly doubt this in person manifestation of the word ‘abhorrent’ is helping anyone with their queries. Even if he was, what on earth can he in particular do about them as a private citizen, with no connection to the council whatsoever other than a legacy of a rather expensive line in the budget for when he stormed off in a huff and caused a by-election.
Brina suggests that Councillors and Council officers are ignoring the people that are then contacting him. He’s never been backwards in coming forwards telling people who have irked him before, and splashing them all over his various Facebook pages. So why not name and shame with proof? After all, he is a voice for a better Tamworth isn’t he? (Despite of course living miles outside of it in Leicester as regular readers will know). Of course, all this sniffs of troll shit, Brina would not be able to deal with anyone’s queries with the council beyond anyone else’s capability to do so. Plus as we say, what exactly are these people unable to do either online or by calling people that can actually help them, that causes them to reach out to troll boy instead?
We are quite surprised that he’s not passed these supposed queries on to Super hero Councillor Kingstone who is in cahoots with the troll when it suits him. We thought Kingstone was the apple of the trolls eye and could do no wrong. Although your chances of getting much done via him are just as slim if some of our mailbag responses have been anything to go by. Not to mention people asking him when they’re going to get a reply on Kingstone’s own Facebook page.
It’s remarkable to see just how obsessed with Tamworth the troll is still. Only he’s not really interested in Tamworth itself. He’s obsessed with trying to make certain people look bad, because he has a personal grudge against them. He’s actually now lost the ability to complain about those nasty Tories as much because they don’t run the council anymore. You wait for another election though, he’ll be back at it in May during the County elections throwing troll poo at the Tories he hates here with no evidence whatsoever of their wrongdoing.
Unfortunately as we know, people put a lot of stead in what is said on Facebook without thinking about the source of it. A worrying number of people believe things they see on there without questioning it and the likelihood of it being true. These are generally the same people that go about their lives leaving a wake of unpleasantness for the rest of us behind them without a care in the world. You know the type, hangs dog poop in the trees or leaves it on the floor, speed limits don’t apply to them, drops litter. That kind of thing. These people vote, and those people are the trolls audience on Spotted Tamworth and his other pages.
What do we do about all of this dear reader? Those intelligent enough to have risen out of the general ooze of humanity who care about how they behave and interact with the world they live in, they look upon everyone else and ask themselves why they bother. We look at shysters like Brina encouraging them on like con men over all of time have ever done. People silently fight back against these wrongs where they can but otherwise feel poweless against the tide of uncaring stupidity they encounter on a daily basis. All you can comfort yourself with is the fact that there are more of you than you realise. Good decent people don’t need to shout about how good they are, they just are.
