Summer laziness
As I mentioned last week, things do start getting quieter during late July and August and my council work this week really showed that – I’ve managed to go the whole week without a single trip to the Town Hall. While that doesn’t mean I’ve done nothing (I’m sadly all too available on [...]
I’m sure many are getting bored with my council surgeries and engagement obsession, but sadly for those that are it’s my blog – and if a blog has any point it’s surely to allow the blogger an outlet for all those thoughts and ideas which he worries bore his wife far too much – so [...]
It’s clearly silly season. On Twitter David Cameron has become a ‘trending topic’ (meaning he’s one of the ten most talked about topics worldwide) because of his flippant remarks about Twitter.
I am trying to come to terms with Esther Rantzen’s decision to stand in Luton South at the next election as an anti-sleaze candidate (even though the wrong-doing MP has already announced her resignation).
Now many will see this as something of a joke since, despite being an intelligent and capable woman with many fine achievements, [...]

Having an interesting discussion on how good Cllr Jack Bauer would be. Conclusion seems to be that he would be very outcome focused, & good. #
Finally listened to the CCTV on WAO. Interesting how [...]
First of all I must congratulate Chloe Smith everyone involved in the Norwich North by-election on their victory. It is no mean achievement to see a 16.5% swing, which would be more than enough, if repeated across the country to see a Conservative government.
The numbers geek in me wondered what this would mean for [...]
My usual end of week wrap-up of bits and pieces I want to highlight or didn’t post about at the time.
Pre-summer council meeting
Wednesday saw the council had it’s last full meeting before the summer recess. Of course, the council doesn’t take a holiday in the same way that Parliament does, but there’s a break [...]
If I have wittered on enough about surgeries the South London Press have prompted me to witter on even more by publishing a story sparked off from the original blog post.
They don’t seem to have it on their website, but it essentially restates my belief that they are a waste of time – under a [...]
Following up on last week’s post on CCTV my interview never made it into the final cut of the Newsnight feature. Although quotes from it made it into a BBC News online article and some of the associated radio coverage. Just the way the media cookie crumbles.
However, I did get invited onto BBC [...]
