  • Exmouth joins national Paddle Out protest as pressure grows for overhaul of water industry

    1 week ago | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Philippa Davies

    Hundreds of people demonstrated on Exmouth seafront and out in the water on Saturday, May 17, demanding an end to sewage pollution. It was part of a national Paddle Out protest, organised by Surfers Against Sewage, that took place on beaches and at other waterside locations around England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

  • ‘It's as if it was always meant to be’ – modern-day labyrinth created on village playing field

    1 week ago | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Philippa Davies

    Inspired by a meditation, devised through an unexpected collaboration, and created on a site where it fitted like the missing piece of a jigsaw: the Tipton St John labyrinth is almost a metaphor for itself. If that seems a bit complicated – welcome to the multi-layered world of labyrinths. A labyrinth is not a maze, or an enclosed warren of tunnels. It’s a single pathway from the outside edge of a circle to its centre, laid out in a precise, geometric formation.

  • ‘Honk if you hate Elon’: a wake-up call for Musk as protests target toxic Tesla

    3 weeks ago | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Philippa Davies

    It may not look like a major uprising , but this is part of something huge. This was Exeter’s first Tesla Takedown protest against Elon Musk’s assault on democracy and human rights in the US, and his wider support for the far right. On Saturday, 3 May, local activists including Devon-based Americans demonstrated outside the Tesla dealership and EV charging point on the Marsh Barton industrial estate – home to most of the city’s biggest car showrooms.

  • No, no, no, Nigel - Reform UK are not 'saying what everyone is thinking'

    1 month ago | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Philippa Davies

    Reform UK’s boast that they’re ‘the voice of the people’ is quite a claim. Are they performing a combination of mind-reading and ventriloquism? That would bring to mind those unconvincing magicians on 1970s TV variety shows – probably not the image Nigel Farage and his crew are aiming for. No – they mean their party represents the views of ordinary, salt-of-the-earth members of the British public – views some voters can’t express in our ‘woke’ society.

  • ‘The whole thing stinks’ - former MP who branded South West Water ‘shameful’ joins its parent company

    2 months ago | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Philippa Davies

    The irony meter must be peaking like one of South West Water’s storm overflow monitors. Former East Devon Conservative MP Simon Jupp, who was an outspoken critic of the utility firm, has taken a job with its parent company, Pennon, advising on community engagement. During his time as an MP Mr Jupp did plenty of mud-slinging at South West Water, usually over the frequent reports of sewage spills in his constituency’s coastal towns.
