It's got to be better than staying in on a Monday night and watching Eastenders. If the Tories *really* are gaining ground in Lambeth (c'mon!) then nope, it's not down to me. It's because of the complete failure of a right wing Labour administration in the Rotten Borough. To sit back and allow them to privatise leisure, education and housing through the back door, would not sit easy with my own personal conscious. I voted this bunch of jokers in power, and I'm appalled at what they have done in the name of the party I was once a member of. Conservatives gaining ground? It really makes no difference, to be honest. Lambeth Labour are very similar in political outlook to the blue rinse mob. The rantings of a one man blog aren't going to change anything. But I feel happier knowing that I have offered my thoughts on what is actually happening around Lambeth. You mock my coverage. Sounds like your solution is censorship. Yours, in struggle etc...

It makes me wonder about what the press coverage of Governments in the world who share your poltiics is like, but of course, we can't know, as they don't now (or have not ever) allowed such coverage. Perhaps it answers the puzzler of all your rants: you do such a noble job of demonstrating how Government in control of anything inevitably do a poor job. So what is the solution? More Government ownership and control! Er, no thanks. Especially not more of the left wing types you chew up and spit out here. The Conservatives are gaining ground thanks to you. Well done!

Shame on them! Recycling good – nothing has happened to it in four years:

2001 – Labour lose control leaving recycling rate at 8%.

2005 – Lib Dems lose control leaving recycling rate at 24%.

2009 – Labour about to lose control leaving recycling rate at 25%.

Shame on them!

It's only when you live in a place where the local press doesn't bother with reporting council meetings that you realise what an important job it is. So thanks for keeping us posted - and with sound principles and good humour. Years ago I was a local newspaper reporter.
