Why does Martin Brookes Photograph and Blog they ask?

If I did not photograph and blog I could get pissed and bully people?

I could sit with other unemployed people in the bushes by the Lodge drinking cheap cider?

I could sit a home and drink myself to oblivion just like those few locals who criticise and smear my name in our nice little town.

Either they are plain dumb or too pissed when they complain "its an invasion of our privacy" when I read and comment about their public internet usage.

To think some one as clever as our Chief Executive also makes the same complaint about her facebook!

The following is a typical example of twitter from a friend of Oakham Town Councillor Maureen Dodds, her press secretary at Oakham in Bloom.

Think I'm going to have to stop drinking so much wine... makes a mess of my skin :( about 22 hours ago via web

Wine purchased from @batwine Wine Shop :-) coffee and wine jelly too... Now where's the cheese! 7:42  via Twitter for iPhone

it's fine, am just a bit annoyed! Wine is soothing me and I have emergency choc if it gets worse ;-)

Really trying to stop myself from tweeting my real feelings right now... I will have more wine instead.

There are plenty more examples online, I am not against drink but when they drink their self stupid and bully people its not fun.

There is a huge problem in Oakham a lot of the Councillors and friends seem to have alcohol for blood.

VIP's swilling beer at the Waitrose exhibition!

Councillor Peter Jones was staggering in the Road in New Street and was nearly run down a few days ago.

He stopped to talked to me a few weeks ago around 11.00am and wreaked of booze.

The way Taxi driver David Burton Tweets, he is either mad or drunk?


Respectable? Mr Paul Beech former Mayor boasts on his facebook about a 24/7 piss up! with his wife Carol in Bournemouth for a week


I wont stop blogging or photographing things that go on in and around the town I live in. Maybe I should start behaving like those who complain and harass me?
