Simon Cooke asks on his blog how setting up the videoing of council meetings at Hampshire County Council could possibly cost nearly a quarter of a million pounds.
Stop Press | Democracy – the Left Wing Version.
Hastings Borough Council, a Labour dominated council, are committed to “equality of opportunity” – so long as you agree with their views.
If you don’t agree with their views, or you chose to listen to those

An eerie silence in the Raccoon bar, no e-mails from the prudish Thaddeus telling me I’ve shocked him yet again, nothing from Gildas threatening to put me on the naughty step once more – not even the

I have watched, with increasing amazement, the occupation of various “symbolic” venues by people representing “99%” of society, in protest against the greed of the remaining 1%.
I don’t know who this mysterious 99% is,
