I HAD to rinse my words last week.
I asked for my cynical letter to this paper to be withdrawn. It was.
I was at a bit of a pinnacle of dismay, my paradox being, octopuses at £5,000 or fibreglass pods for homeless at £6,000?
Which item would be a meaningful experience for young artists to decorate?
Much like Terry Gardiners ‘blades for strimmers or Muzzy Mayflower sculpture?’
Then there’s the £95m to continue the development of our estuary.
There’s a substantiated parabolic tidal flow already killing our bay.
This further development will kill it dead and might well take a few houses on Marine Parade with it.
I do hope it does take out what remains of Orwell Terrace.
That community are an inspiration of self-resilient regeneration.
Such are the prices of progress, I remain as ever, positive.
We are only months away from the time to celebrate the successful no-deal Brexit of the original Mayflower.
Yet we remain ensnared in finger-pointing and negativity.
