Scilly Spring: Islands’ Tinpot Dictator Philip Hygate Suspended
Guido stuck his infamous cross-hairs on the face of Philip Hygate at the end of last week, and last night the loathed Chief Executive of the Isles of Scilly Council was suspended from his post. The allegations against him have been mounting up over the last few months, but it started with this story from May. Radio Scilly caught his departure:
The island’s tinpot dictator opened the floodgates by blocking the local school from becoming an academy, and now Hygate is not only facing an investigation into the circumstances behind that move, but a broader inquiry into his entire twenty year tenure. Starting with his alleged illegal surveillance of council staff and residents. Representing the very worst aspect of local government and vested interests, you have to wonder how many other Philip Hygates there are across the country…
I demand a resigning/ apology/ judge-led inquiry {delete as appropriate}
..as long as he’s not Labour.
Sad Day As Last BIH Helicopter Set To Leave Scilly

A fixed wing take off from St Mary is something to be experienced. A very short runway that ends on a cliff edge. The plane either flies or plummets into the Atlantic.
“Dear Guido Fawkes, I am writing to tell you that you could not tip more rubbish if CCHQ bought you a forklift truck.”
From the book of modern ditties,
My old man’s a waste disposal technician,
He wears an appropriate safety helmet,
He wears corporate ‘eco green’ coloured council overalls
And he lives in an affordable housing /sheltered accommodation/social homes designated area.
I do find that although massively more tasty than the previous minty versions the newer offerings do tend to lose their flavour on the bedpost over night.
Result!
Are you sure that his surveillance was not justified by being terrorist instigated? Real bandit country, the Scillys.
Ugly fucker. String him up.
How about a forensic examination of his finances over the last 20+ years?
I’d just have him shot
Waste of ammo. Piano wire is better.
“you have to wonder how many other Philip Hygates there are across the country…”
It must be well over 1000.
650 to be precise
648, to be precise.
I can get them all shot precisely
That’s a very conservative estimate
Cameron uses bit more style to sidestep Chris Bryant question on secret Rebekah Brooks emails. Still like to read ‘em .
Go,get ‘em Guido.
Cameron knows the game’s up.
I bet you are kept in the same spot as Richard Gere keeps his gerbil (or was it a hamster?)
John The Bells The Bells Haynes…LOL
PMQ’s to be renamed Vicky Pollard Time due to Cameron’s embarassingly avoidant ‘Yeah but no but yeah but no’ approach
Has he used the ” I’m a straight kind of guy” phrase yet?
Take your meds TAT.
Remember the doctor said the warning sign is giggling at your own comments.
Why doesn’t the loon post under his piss stained, old moniker?
Why doesnt Guido reveal the e-mail addresses of people who make inappropriate comments
Why should he? It is none of my business. As long as Guido knows who they are, I am fine with that.
I know two that are far worse. At least he tried to get evidence to support his action. The ones who used their position against me just fabricated the stories. But then who cares about whistle blowers in this country, certainly no anyone that should. I just get threatening letters, one from a major firm of solicitors if I open my mouth.
Tell ‘em your a pikey, living in the travellers camp just outside Northampton and to feel free to come and serve papers on you – its five years since the police have dared to go in there.
Harold Wilson and Mary always went on their hols to the Scilly Islands, not suggesting anything like.
No point to that comment.
But Ted Heath took his Yacht to Jersey with Jimmy quite often
…..oh yes indeed !!!!!!!
Nailed on vote for a £4.3 billion rise in the EU budget then.
Plenty more from where that came from.
errrrrrr I told you that last week.
Don’t forget PL and MP. Both in “The Witch’s” and “The Adulterers” cabinet.
NASA says mars dirt is like Hawaii. President said to be amused.
So it’s great for growing pineapples. Whoopeedoo.
Borisido Boriswkes…You have gone quiet on the Boris front.
Could it be because Boris has signed off the very unpopular Walthamstow dog track deal in east London. Now to be called “Walthamohnston Borisog” in “Borisast Borisdon”
Or
His attempts to flog off Olympic stadium to American Football.
…does Boris actually do any work…I think we should be told.
Is this the end of Hygate-gate?
Perhaps the location in the second picture of him leaving should be re-rename Hygate-gate Gate in his honour
So, its that Gove Cove wot did for him.
Nah, he was BORISISED.
Boris is a Janus-faced c*unt
Oi you two, stop copying Silent Bob! He has no equal.
If you’re looking for “interesting” local councils you could have a look at the “Bexley is Bonkers” website. Plenty of shenanigans going on in the London Borough of Bexley….
You ought to switch to a cheaper tariff, Colin
10 WHITE POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE… Medicated Foot-Talc!!!!!!!!
First there were Pilgrims, now Hygates and yes Every Council has them. Expose your Local Hygate.
If you take too close a look at East Herts District Council (Conservative since 1973) wear a clothes peg on your nose, the stench (especially from planning) is overpowering. One Joint Deputy Leader already had to step down from being Chairman following a legal case costing hundreds of thousands of tax payers money. No explanation given, D Notice on the story. The Housing Minister too frightened and too weak to speak up and speak out to rectify matters.
