Not since Brenda from Bristol said “Not another one” about the snap election called in 2017 has a previously unknown figure in British political life become such an overnight sensation. “You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver, none whatsoever,” snarled the chair of Hemsworth Parish Council. A few more similar snipes later and Jackie Weaver showed she really did, ejecting him from the Zoom meeting altogether.
I could fill this entire newspaper with the similar behaviour I have seen from men in our own local councils. Droning, arrogant, sexist, discourteous, oppressive, and that’s just for starters. Concerned people seeing this stuff on councils around here was what brought the first members of the East Devon Alliance of Independents (EDA) together back in 2013.

One of the most authentically frightening experiences I have ever had came one hot afternoon in the Market Square of the usually calm town of Colyton, about fifty yards from my front door, and it featured our much-esteemed local butcher Anton Bolton. Now, if that is not a good first line for a short story …
This, however, is true. Here in Colyton we are very keen on the brand “The Most Rebellious Town in Devon”. This resurfaced a few years ago with the “Colyton Laundry Rebellion” but that is another story. A simple search on the internet tells that one if you are curious.
