Cornwall - The Royal Cornwall Show - The Bishop, The Bulldozer & The Fraudulent Planning Application

uploaded by CornwallNews

Observe as the relentlessly avuncular Bishop of Truro Cathedral, Bishop Bill Ind (a trustee and vice president of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association) dismounts from his digger,having just pulled down part of a building on the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association Show site in Cornwall whose replacement is founded on a fraudulent planning application - the RCAA claiming in a false application form that the site and surroundings have NO history of flooding when it is known across Cornwall that the site is susceptible to heavy rainfall and that the annual show itself was cancelled halfway through due to flooding and public and livestock health and safety reasons in 1993.

The downstream settlements of St Breock and Polmorla whose streams are fed by the rainwater runoff from the showground have also experienced intense and repeated flooding in the 16 years since the RCAA destroyed the natural valley drainage of this catchment by infilling part of the valley stream system with 115,000 cubic metres of bypass construction waste.Disregarding all this and following close on the heels of the tarmacing and sealing of 20,000 metres of formerly porous hardcore showground roadways the RCAA once again displays its brutal disregard for prudent land management practices, its neighbours and moral rectitude by fraudulently seeking permission to replace its pavilion with a high carbon emission activity 'greenwash' structure,further extending flood inducing  hardstanding in the process.

The Bishop's digger demolition is rendered doubly mystifying in the light of his rapid PR offensive to appear to sympathise with the flooded out residents of Boscastle - an event made worse by similarly naive and reckless incremental rainfall catchment modifying buildings and car park construction. 

That fraudulent planning application in full - fraudulent statement: Q18 

The 'New', 'Biggest' & 'Best' (& Muckiest [Yet!])
Prize Farmyard Quiz! :

(Potential Exhibitors-Check your pluvial insurance event washout cover!)

1 .Who covertly connived with the Anglican Church Commissioners to buy 14 acres of artificially inflated steep agricultural valley land at £8,000/Grade 4 acre, presuming planning permission to fill it with bypass construction waste,& subsequently siphoned off public moneys & 'compensation' via the Wadebridge bypass scheme to balance the books?


a) The Make Poverty History Campaign? b) The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association?

2. What, illegally & without the necessary consent of the Charity Commissioners, borrowed £180,000 from its trustees Lloyds Bank to buy this land & also to build an on-site dwelling with charity moneys for its retiring secretary, Albert Riddle?


a) Bertie the Beaver? b) The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association?

3. Who went against the 'fundamental objections' of the National River Authority (now EA) &stripped & filled & levelled the top end of Holy Valley, St Breock with115,000m³of compressed bypass waste to make a platform for the temporarily fragrant flower tent at the 3 day show regardless of the year round 365 day flood threat to downstream dwellings, residents & listed buildings?

a) Brenda the Queen Bee? b) The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association?

4.When the 3 day Royal Cornwall 'charity' Show was cancelled in 1993 due to dangerous levels of mud the year after the valley & stream-bed were filled in, what did the treasurer, Venning Davey, blame, on TV, as the cause of the cancellation, & the reason why the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association refused to even partially refund ticket & stall holder fees?

a) Rain & ruined natural drainage? b) 'Act of God'?

5. Who, in the same summer of 1993, then sent a begging letter out to members pleading for donations, not mentioning that filling the valley with bypass waste had fundamentally & substantially & detrimentally altered the site's drainage characteristics, while simultaneously negotiating the imminent arrival of a cheque for £50,000 from the Department of Transport for alleged 'loss of trade' from by-pass works?(Works,incidentallywhich, tofavour the RCAA without proper regard for public safety,gave rise to anextremely compressed and complexjunction at Tollgate resulting in hundreds of car crashes,serious injuries and 1 death since construction.Due to pressure from a variety of directions Cornwall'County' Council has expressed the intention to construct a roundabout by 2008.It will be interesting to see whether the RCAA touts for yet another tranche of 'compensation'!)


a) The Borrowers? b) The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association?

6. When run-off rain repeatedly flooded & damaged buildings downstream during the following decade, from which direction did the waters flow?


a) The Far East? b) The Deep South? c) The Royal Cornwall Showground?

7. In full knowledge of these serious local problems downstream & knowing of other major flooding incidents, in particular at Boscastle and on the south coast of Cornwall in 2004, who then, in 2005, proceeded to spread non-porous tarmac on miles of internal, comparatively porous, hardcore roadways for the convenience of the 3 day Royal Cornwall Show, not only jeopardizing future shows but demonstrating complete & utter disregard for the permanent year round additional & accelerated surface water run-off threat to downstream dwellings?

a) Patrick the Tarmacker? b) The Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association?

8) Which well known reportedly 'environmentally concerned' individual was President of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association when Holy Valley, St Breock was stripped & filled & levelled & is now the Patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association when the showground site has been so recklessly & unwisely tarmacked & did nothing to advise against either?

a) The Duke of Hazard? b) The Duke of Cornwall?

9)Who has further demonstrated the unreliability of his often-stated 'environmental concern' by collaborating with Ampersand & their ridiculous concrete folly at Carlyon Bay, authorising the Duchy of Cornwall (corporate division) to collude with Ampersand in a foolish & reckless plan to extend the steep shelving exposed beach itself seaward by 16 metres along its entire length ( http://www.cornish-stannary-parliament.abelgratis.com/page100.html)?

a) The Duke of Hazards? b) The Duke of Cornwall?

10) Which reportedly 'environmentally concerned' individual and Patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association is also manoeuvring, via the Duchy of Cornwall (corporate division), to compound urbanising pressures on Newquay further by attempting to ease into position, with smooth talk & swishy PowerPoint presentations, yet another profiteering Disney style and unnecessary 'affordable housing' scam on a green field site, while conveniently, opportunistically & greedily ignoring the fact that it is laissez-faire planning non-control & negligence allowing villages to be emptied through the immoral & scandalous misappropriation of primary residential housing by non-residents for occasional holidays instead of requiring holidaymakers to use the abundant designated holiday facilities that is the root cause of the currenthousing disaster for the children, young people, families & communities of Cornwall?

a) The Duke of Hazards? b) The Duke of Cornwall?

11) Which current Chairman of the Royal Cornwall Association has also demonstrated this short-sighted profiteering obsession with the over-development & concrete & tarmac suffocation of Cornwall by allowing his soliciting firm Coode's, StAustell , to act for Ampersand by holding the deposits of the foolish, taken in by Ampersand spin, for luxury flats which, if ever built, will be forever insecure?

a) Jonathon Coode? b) Jonothan Coode?

Media Professional Objectivity Challenge Question!

Which indiscriminatingly pro - over - development media operations with their exhibits at the Royal Cornwall Show and their headquarters over in England have failed, compromised by over-intimate commercial involvements, to apply professional standards of objective journalism to the destructive land mismanagement practices of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association itself & other currently out of control profiteers creating unnecessary, unsustainable & destructive construction & infrastructure pressures on Cornwall & the further disenfranchisement & social dislocation of so many of her people?

a) 'Concreting Cornwall Monthly'? b) The Western Morning News & BBC Radio 'Cornwall'?

Bonus Big Mystery Question! :
