In the quaint, usually uneventful town of Tamworth, a storm brews, but it’s less about the weather and more about the tempest that is Ron Brown. Our protagonist, if one can call him that, runs a Facebook group known as the Tamworth Examiner—a title that promises more than it delivers. With just a modest assembly of 200 members, the group could be likened more to a sparsely attended village hall meeting than any bustling hub of local journalism.

Ron, a retired individual with seemingly too much time on his hands, has turned his golden years into something of a tarnished hue, confusing stubborn opinions with incontrovertible facts. The Tamworth Examiner, or as some might affectionately call it, “the poor man’s blog,” serves as Ron’s personal soapbox. Here, amidst the cacophony of inaudible ranting, Ron’s voice echoes—a sound he finds more annoying than his readership does. One might argue his dissatisfaction with his own vocal reverberations warrants more pity than irritation.

His grammar might be described as a whimsical adventure into the realm of the English language, where commas fear to tread, and full stops are mere suggestions. In a world dominated by his keystrokes, Ron’s ideas flow as freely as a blocked stream, meandering through issues without ever really understanding them.

August was a particularly eventful month in Bolehall, where Ron decided to take on the role of local law enforcement from behind his keyboard. With the conviction of a man who has watched one too many crime shows, Ron declared that Staffordshire police were neglecting their duties concerning Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. The real crime, however, was the hours wasted by the police reassuring Ron that all was well on the bridleways of Bolehall.

The local advice on dealing with Ron’s tirades? Just block him. Engaging seems only to fuel his campaign of noise, turning what could be a silent retreat into a battleground of words and wounded pride. For those trapped in Ron’s digital realm of the Tamworth Examiner, it’s a daily reminder that the unblock button is more of an emergency escape hatch.

If Ron’s family is tuning in, perhaps a gentle nudge towards hobbies that don’t involve caps lock and community disturbance might be in order. Maybe model building, or even a peaceful spot of gardening. Anything that might redirect his energies from the echo chamber of his created digital world to something a bit more… quiet.

As for the rest of Tamworth, they continue on—unperturbed and often unaware—of the digital tempest that is Ron Brown. After all, in the grand tapestry of life, every village has its voice; it’s just that some are better heard through the filter of a lovingly applied block.

Yours,

Will-I-am Not-Wordsworth
