A Very English Tradition

The season of summer fruits is upon us. Now that we are well into Wimbledon fortnight we are seeing loads of ripe summer fruit, namely the strawberry. The strawberry is an English luxury that we can all enjoy. There is nothing to compare an English strawberry to, except of course, another English strawberry.

Strawberries and cream, a strawberry cream tea, whatever else could conjure up anything more English.

HAPPY DAYS

Henry "The Fonz" Winkler who starred in the American television series paid a visit to Waltham on the Wolds primary school recently.

During his visit he met students, staff and some parents and signed copies of his books for the pupils.

He is pictured here with one of the staff members of the school

"I suggest too the police the photo shop experts like Dewis and Harrison are responsible for the disgusting images sent to me via email and the post"
Copied from Brookes' Blog. I'm increasingly fed up of seeing my name used every time you go off on one of your bullying, ranting diatribes Brookes. I can't speak for anyone else but where I am concerned, I have never written to you in my life nor am ever likely to. You are an evil, nasty little man trying to make a name for yourself and sadly you have succeeded, the wrong sort of name, but nonetheless, you have succeeded.
NOW, regarding all these accusations you keep on making about me, it is time to either put up or shut up. Let's see all of the evidence you supposedly have. This is going to be very difficult as there is none.
Now be quiet and go away, live your mindless little life and leave other people alone to get on with theirs. DO NOT START A WAR WHERE THERE ARE NO WINNERS OR LOSERS AS YOU MAY END UP A SAD AND LONELY INDIVIDUAL

I got an Email from Brookes

Yesterday I had an email from Brookes, what a treat! I just had to share it with you and I have added some comments:

Mr. Jim Harrison
9th June 2010

You were asked not to photograph me and your blog clearly shows you are in breach of this request.

As it happens, I have not photographed him since he asked me not to. Which is just a coincidence really, since I notice he has never complied with the very many similar requests that have been made to him.

Your blog is in breach of harassment laws. The police have asked me to write to you to give you a fair the chance to remove all the content that relates to me. if you ignore this letter they can then assist me with enforcing the relevant harassment acts.
Oh really? Check again.

Your continued behaviour is a great cause of concern to me. I request you refrain from blogging about me. providing photographs to other groups, forums or any form of media. I request all defamatory content is removed today.
There is nothing defamatory on my blog. Brookes needs to grow up and learn to distinguish between what is defamatory (i.e. untrue) and merely criticism of the his conduct in office.

Mr Harrison it appears you are not a man of your word, I find this most disappointing. I acknowledged your request a few months ago to call you Jim and noted your promise not to post any further nasty things about me if I did the same. According to my blog records I have never posted anything nasty about you.
We get really delusional here, Brookes's has made frequent derogatory and defamatory comments about me. Does he suffer from amnesia?

Do you really think your behaviour is acceptable as a former army man, town councillor and mayor? I don't think so. For the record I did not sue any church. any publication of my employment issues relating to the church is a breach of a COT3 agreement enforceable by the courts.
So why continually talk about it? Brookes continually brags about some legal victory he had, although the details seem to change every time he tells the story. As it happens, it is precisely because I am an ex-Mayor that I feel I have to speak out against Brookes's appalling behaviour in our town.

The police did not charge me for posting the two small images in the notice board possible sent to me by your friends? and there was no criminal damage caused.

There was no need for the case to go to court because Brookes accepted cautions (i.e. plead GUILTY) on two counts, one of which was criminal damage. These are now on Brookes' record along with his other criminal conviction(s?). It is typical of how deluded Brookes is that he thinks he can pull the wool over people's eyes like this.

I trust you will take note all this harassment and bullying has now gone too far. I believe the police now agree as you can see I am now being correctly advised and they will take action if you ignore this letter.

I think I know which side of the law I stand on! It's not me who gets arrested in the High St and ejected from public events by the police time after time after time.

Yours sincerely

Martin Brookes

Good News For Who

Good news is it? So Brookes thinks it is good news that Sue Tyers has withdrawn her application does he, but good news for who I wonder. Lets not forget Brookes, Sue Tyers put in a lot of good service to this town and she did it for the good of the town. She doesn't have a criminal record, unlike you, she didn't post pornographic pictures after criminally breaking into the Oakham Town Council's noticeboard, unlike you, she has never sued the church for thousands of pounds, unlike you, she has always worked to earn a living, unlike you, she has never posted unwarranted and defamatory blogs, unlike you, and quite frankly she is a far, far better person than you could ever hope to be. At least Sue has the integrity required to be a councillor, UNLIKE YOU!!!!!!

CRB Check This Councillor

How can it be right that an Oakham Town Councillor puts on display pornographic images in an official Oakham Town Council notice board, is subsequently arrested and is then seen taking photographs at Royce Playing fields where there are children present when the new equipment was officially opened. Should a man who obviously has a penchant for displaying pornographic images on a public notice board be allowed anywhere near children? I THINK NOT! As a councillor he may be visiting other establishments where there are children present AND THAT CANNOT BE RIGHT. Perhaps he ought to undergo a CRB check before being allowed anywhere near children again. He certainly needs to be watched very closely.

Time to call it a day, "Cllr" Brookes

If there were anyone left in Oakham who needed proof of how deluded Brookes is, this would be it. Brookes thinks he can carry on regardless after this disgraceful episode:




I have news for Cllr Brookes, the people of Oakham won't forget about this. Anybody else would resign, only someone as morally depraved as Brooksey would wait to be pushed out of office.
