You are such an asshole. More people should stand up to you. You cost us taxpayers a lot of money with your ridiculous 91a requests. You find petty things to complain about because you are a miserable person and what you do honestly disgusts me. Get a hobby and try to find joy in life. Stop spreading your misery to the good people in Londonderry. The people you associate with have no redeeming qualities. They are stupid sheep, the parrot patrol. They don&#8217;t think for themselves. Unfortunately Deb&#8217;s rag of a paper gets them elected to political positions in our town. You&#8217;re not a true republican, none of you are.

Londonderry is a good town with good people. You should find real issues in the world if you want to make a difference. You could do good instead of manufacturing issues to complain about.

Can you accomplish this one simple task?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Not a Fan: How stupid you appear. I asked you to provide proof. Instead of providing proof you asked me to provide proof. I honestly think you are just not right in your head. It&#8217;s a simple task. Provide the reason for your hated of John Farrell.
