Infro more hot air from the Glynn camp?

27 May

Fine Gael hopeful Dj Mick Glynn sent fellow Bray Burger competitors twirling on their tweets last week when he revealed a startling new front in the Glynn camp, [political] weather permitting (or not).  Glynn boldly presented  the throw down:

Will the rain stop?

he asked. Only to add that readers should

This radical new gesture has so far gone unnoticed by our beloved Bray People and has yet to blow through the political winds that might garner fresh seeds of hope for a change in local politics that one Novara Avenue pedestrian recently described earnestly:

It culminates in another bitter harvest to chew for five more years.

Glynn’s Pathway to Progress policy promises displayed on his homepage don’t seem to reflect this surprising warm front in the campaign which indeed suggest that by force of nature Glynn will affect the town’s weather system, specifically when it comes to stopping rain (with regular videos and infromation reports [‘Infromation’? Is this a cunning new campaign device  never seen before? Is it akin to malk? Ed.).

How this will be managed and to what kind of a time frame have yet to be revealed. Perhaps a formidable biodome construction project (and it’s positive knock-on effects for job opportunity ventures in Bray) is in the works. No mention of this (or any other town all-weather shield) was included in the recent draft Bray Town Development Plan 2011-2017 preparation document: perhaps Glynn will include it in his submission before the  July 3rd deadline?

Surely this couldn’t be simply hot air coming from Glynn, could it? To assist this audacious effort any submissions of what a town weather-shield/biodome might look like are welcome and will be posted on this blog to assist in the bold new greening of Glynn’s town policy.

A Reply: The Curious incident of the post on Mick Glynn’s youtube wonderspot

11 May

Curious and frustrating as it is, posting onto youtube videos encourages user engagement with the medium like any blog or forum whether you agree with people’s point of view or not. Unsurprising that a light moderators hand is a necessity in maintaining civility- but what about budding councilors who use it as a career platform and seek to silence objective objectors?

My recent post onto Mick Glynn’s youtube spot has received scant updating to his glossy public threads, prompting me to carry it here and, as such, you can rest your laurels on debating the propaganda machines of local elections right here and uncensored to political censorship! ‘Real Thug Life’ from our Mick ” the discoing aristocrat” Glynn is posted below, and my reply below it. What’s yours?

A Reply to Mick Glynn’s ‘Real Life’:

Bray really is beautiful without Mick in it, isn’t it? Good thing the video didn’t include any glossy images showing your many years of complicity by sustaining a culture of alcoholism on Bray’s younger generations during the boom years where Mick Glynn MD of Planet Sound made his mint as seafront surfing DJ.

You pressed play to the same music every night in the Backbar, the same music in the Koo and you used to sing along to all of the songs other people wrote and recorded!

Why didn’t you ever mix your own music – in all your years of playing to the crowd – perhaps exhibiting some original flair or say challenging the music scene by organising a music festival proper? You played other people’s music, sang their songs and never revealed an ounce of creative fibre or originality in all your years. What makes you so sure you will ‘Make Bray Better’ now?

Maybe a campaign founded on summer festival and St Patricks Day carnivals holds some merit but have they really MBB as you are ramming at us? Your legacy screams of maintaining the status quo while piping and singing along to other peoples tunes. MBB? Sounds like an extended track trap you want us to line dance all the way to the polls to. Oh, and your MBB survey is closed presuming you didn’t actually want to hear what people had to say of course. Of course.
