Hodge the Bodge won’t budge!

Of course David Hodge has survived a Vote of No Confidence Motion- but then, why wouldn’t he?

Tory controlled Surrey County Council has passed  a motion of confidence in their Leader David Hodge despite his very public row with the Government that brought assurances that it “DID NOT” Do any “Secret Deal” with ‘Your Surrey’ County Council to head  off a 15% council tax increase.

Despite Prime Minister Theresa May’s  insistence that there was NO ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ between David Hodge and the Government  and… despite the fact that Surrey’s Budget is now unravelling at the seams – all the Tory Tossers lined up behind their leader to enable him to hang onto Surrey’s reins and gallop towards, possibly  – Beechers Brook,  perhaps?

By 47 votes to eight  – all those sycophants – including all our Waverley Councillors – The Farnham Gal,  the Eastern Villages –  Alan AKA, (‘I’ve just been dropped’) Young,  and his wife the Queen Vic, – Farnham’s Riot Ramsdale & Farnham’s very own –  Touch of Frost, Peter Martin, David Harmer and Steve Cosser were among those who  ensured Hodge the Bodge was not ousted from  his very  hot seat … well at least not for the time being?

“Secret recordings” made by one of his ‘colleagues’ and sent to the BBC caused a furore, but  Hodge is sticking to his guns in the ‘Truth, Dare, Promise or Opinion’ board game now being played out between him and the  Government.

That threat of a Referendum might even have been a good ruse if he could have pulled it off!   But will Surrey taxpayers be the ones clutching  the mucky end of the stick he has now provided his Tory masters to  beat us with?

The Prime Minister visibly squirmed when she said: ‘No deal has been made with Surrey that has not been made available to other councils’ so to extract themselves from the mucky brown stuff we can see a different “deal/gentleman’s agreement/stitch up, being worked up in the darkest corners of Government to keep the local elections on track.”  

After all – this little debacle won’t damage the reputation of Surrey Council or the  Government,  because  Surrey’s   voting fodder will be out in their droves in a few weeks time to ensure we get more of the same – despite  someone  being economical with the truth? 

After all – the Tory Tossers are supremely confident that when the  Elections take place on  May 4th the results will reveal the voter’s verdict on this unedifying spectacle!

But if you would like to hear  on Radio 4 how ‘Your Surrey’ has already lost £1.1  million  running its property company so far – listen here. 

Oh! and by the way Farnham followers – Le Gal won’t be among those seeking re-election – she’s  had an uplift – to scramble up that other TT’s  greasy power pole!  – The next step for an ambitious  career politician up from – Borough to  County…  onto the pinnacle of success she has striven for – Parliament. Bye-bye Farnham hello ?? – please let it be Blackpool !! 

NOW… POST – ELECTION stress disorder epidemic hits Ewhurst and Cranleigh.

Just when you thought it was safe to heave a huge sigh of relief, Povey-Power is about to be inflicted all over again on the East of the Borough!
In a classic case of Hobson’s Choice: the Tory-Tossers had to choose between Uriah Heep (AKA Alan Young) & Fagin (Andrew Povey). Some choice!


We told you all about the Pre-Election Stress Disorder phenomenon that struck the East of the borough just a few weeks ago.

Now, hang onto your blue rosettes, because Post Election Stress Disorder is about to hit the High Street as ‘The Comeback Kid’ ricochets back onto the Cranleigh / Ewhurst scene! No doubt The Surrey Ad has swopped its allegiance now its usual Kodak Kid  has been ditched in four of its NBF (New best friend) – Kodak Povey!

“If you are out there Rosaleen Egan – get your Rebocks on and hit the Cranleigh / Ewhurst pavements because Jesus Mary and the Joseph – AKA Guildford Conservative Associations – has just answered all your prayers!

Pre – Election Stress Disorder hits Ewhurst and Cranleigh.

Now, take a deep breath and readers of a sensitive disposition look away, because this news comes with a Waverley Web health warning! Who’s soon going to be pulling ‘Your Surrey’s’ county council strings?

Sadly the new broom many over there in the East had hoped would sweep County Hall clean and restore faith in local politics – Phillip Townsend – has not been selected to stand. No! we hear you cry! NO, surely it cannot be?

Here’s your candidates: it’s called HOBSONS CHOICE.

In the Blue Corner – andrewpovey.jpg

Here you have Andrew Povey – disgraced former `leader of Surrey County Council, who with a knockout blow, beat off the competition.

It really is quite extraordinary that with a population of over 300 hundred million people the USA could only dredge up two totally unsuitable people to compete for the Presidency – Clinton and Trump?

Likewise, in the whole of Eastern Waverley – with a population of 12/13,000 soon to be nearer 20,000! – the Tory Tossers were reduced to sending in the disgraced former leader Gotta-pick-a-pocket-or-two-or-three – none other than Dr (as he likes to be known!) Andrew Povey.

Want to read more about the disgraced former Leader of Surrey County Council, whose colleagues took a vote of no confidence in him, and yet is now predicted to be Surrey County Council’s very own Comeback Kid? Bet David Hodge & Co can hardly wait?!?! Even some of them will be registering in Cranleigh and voting UKIP!

Really makes you wonder doesn’t it? The man pictured above by our own staff photographer,  is the very same man who introduced Politics with a great big capital P into the village council chamber over 20 years ago, abandoned it for his race up Surrey County Council’s greasy pole, reaching the top only to slide down it faster than Usain Bolt on speed ! Now  selected to  take over the reins of Uriah Young (AKA Alan Young) . But when we look at who they’ve replaced him with we can’t help wondering why they bothered?cllralanyoungcopperfield.jpg

GOING, GOING GONE…YOUNG!
It cannot be true – can it?

Has Hodge the Bodge received promises from the Government of more money for ‘Your Surrey’ – or hasn’t he?

DEAL OR NO DEAL?

What sort of Fu**wit tells A Chamber full of Councillors – let’s face it they don’t come any more indiscreet – to keep SCHTUM about  “a secret deal with the Government for EXTRA money to kill off a Referendum for  a 15%  council tax hike!

Lord Nelson is more likely to get his eye back than   councillors are to keep a secret. They regularly let slip more leaks than a colander, and now with technology available to  record discussion  it’s a daily doddle for leakers. The tape sent to the BBC  being a perfect  fine example. 

Now ‘Referendumleak’ has landed Surrey County Council’s Executive into heavy duty dog do! All of them – David Hodge, Peter Martin (also a Waverley councillor) and Helen Clack, you can also hear Denise Le Gal (another Waverley wally) asking if he has “done a deal.” Well if anyone knows about deals it’s the Farnham Gal! Ask the East Street campaigners?

So exactly who is telling the truth about ‘Referendumgate’ – The Government or Councillor Hodge CBE. Well our money, – not that the Waverley Web has much, – is on Hodge! Why – because the last place The Government want an embarrassing  upset is – SURREY – with the lucrative fringe on top, whose great and ‘good’ fund MP’s Jeremy Hunt – perhaps not he has just trousered £15m – Anne Milton and all the other TT’s , which includes half the Cabinet and the Conservative Party!

 Do we now get the scent of a Merger coming on in a bid to save money now this year’s Referendum has been sent to the shredder? Or will The Chancellor of the Exchequer do another “SECRET’ Deal with ‘Your Surrey” to keep it out of the proverbial S*1T it has got itself into. Let’s have your view on things please!

Because The Government has said in no uncertain terms – “There is no special deal for Surrey County Council and they will not receive any extra funding,  than  would not  otherwise be  provided.”

Oh dear – Another fine mess they’ve all got themselves into?

So the wholesale lies and duplicity that is ‘Your Waverley” has become a contagion  and now everyone is at it. The Tory Tossers seem incapable of telling the truth either locally or nationally. So who will  actually suffer?

The young, the old and the vulnerable – that’s who

But you know what? it wouldn’t matter what our masters voice said or did in Surrey! – The voting fodder will put  every single tainted one of them back in with a blue rosette up their Tory ar**s! at the forthcoming May county council elections – won’t they?
