The beauty of the system is that everyone has plausible deniability.

- alistairSH 4y agoComplaining to your MP about toxic conditions in local waterways is "unusual"? That's exactly the type of correspondence an MP should expect. Referring such correspondence to the police is ridiculous. The MP should have told the women the town hall was closed to non-residents and left it at that. The cynic in me believes the MP knew exactly what the police were going to do when forwarded "unusual" emails.
- ghufran_syed 4y agointeresting that they didn’t publish the emails - that’s suggests that they somehow don’t support the narrative “ After emailing him, they were told the meeting was specifically for residents of Chideock, but Mr Loder replied: “Let me know which villager has invited you and I will come back to you to see what we can do.” Which implies the two women claimed to have been invited by one of the villagers eligible to attend the meeting? Strange that that wouldn’t be explained in the article if it was true, suggesting the claim was NOT true. And that I think could reasonably be seen as unusual by someone responsible for security for an event.
