I have been witness to relentless bullying over the last 18 moths  by an Arch Deacon and a Rector who are determined to get rid of their new Vicar. The new Vicar is very very popular,and has has touched the hearts of the community in many ways and has reached out to many who would never have considered having anything to do with the Church of England. The only faults that this young Vicar has is that  her 20 year marriage failed when she moved here and she has a chronic arthritic condition which has meant that she has had some time off in her first year, but this is now well under control and her Hospital specialist deemed her fully fit to go back to work. The Church in their wisdom refused to let her back to work (where did they get their medical degree?) After a lot of unnecessary stress and visits to Church legal advisers she has been allowed to go back to work. However, they still will not let her take the most important services that occur over Christmas such as the Carol Service and Christmas Eve midnight service and continue to make life very difficult for her. I have never come across such a bunch of non-christian Christians in my life. It makes me glad to be an atheist!

The public toilets in our village were smashed to pieces by our resident vandals. A few thousand was spent refurbishing them and a few weeks ago they were reopened. With in 2 days two windows were smashed and 2 days agoi they smashed the rest of the windows with rocks taken from the dry stone wall behind the building. Can anyone tell me what kick these yobs get smashing a bloody toilet?
Since I last wrote about the vandalism, they have burgled several houses to feed their drug habits, there is a drug dealer in the village, they stole a car and smashed it in a crash, stole a van and set fire to it in the middle of a houseing estate and they commit ant act of vandalism EVERY SINGLE DAY. Why arn't the police doing anything? They need proof, the word of witnesses even respected pillars of society is not recognised by the courts. These young people have too many rights and no bounaries for acceptable behaviour. Because they get away with it there is no deterant to stop and sadly some of these young men are destined to a life in and out of prison unless they are given a 'short sharp shock' now. It is hard to believe that this Village was idyllic three years ago and now it has more crime per capita than the two nearby towns combined.
