Three submissions or a knock out, tag team tactics allowed and how dare you suggest that the bout is already fixed with the Lambeth Council knobbers not giving a flying fuck about consultation as the investment from Greenwich Leisure will bail the smug little shits out of a financial black hole? ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ Let's get ready to rumble! ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ The un-named architects 'presented' their back of a fag packet plans in the foyer at the Town Hall. It all looked lovely - some pink squares here, an adjacent green blob and some pot plants to fill out the corners. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ But wait - what's this? Where's the bloody swimming pool? ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ As absent as any information regarding the closure of the Rec coming from the Council. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ But first off we had to suffer the spin from ÿþ<aÿþ ÿþhref="https://web.archive.org/web/20080726191913/http://www.lambethlabour.com/lambethlabourpeople/libpeck.html"ÿþ ÿþtarget="_blank"ÿþ>ÿþCouncilor Lib Peckÿþ</a>ÿþ, the Cabinet Member for Environment and Culture.

She had my attention, if not my trust. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ Secrecy clauses, apologies for lack of information and once again the professional political spin of new and improved discount cards, all added to disguise the 23.5% overall price increase. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ You break our legs, and we say thank you when you give us crutches. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ But not in Brixton, Lib. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ The open mic was handed over to the floor and a sea of hands was raised, making me wonder if the question 'ÿþ<emÿþ>ÿþput your hand up if you think the Lambeth Council knobbers can't be trustedÿþ</em>ÿþ' was being asked. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ The justification of 'ÿþ<emÿþ>ÿþbringing prices in line with the rest of Londonÿþ</em>ÿþ' was ripped apart. Brixton is very different to Kensington ÿþ&amp;ÿþ Chelsea, plus the piss take Council Tax rates that we pay are supposed to include provision for leisure. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ A wonderful speech from a young Muslim worshipper who uses the Rec for Friday morning prayers left Councilor Lib with no response. The Brixton Mosque has yet to receive any notification of the closure of their weekly place of worship. Plus one of the few details in the plans that are identifiable is that the previously separate Men and Women's saunas are now to be mixed. Not ideal for some users with religious beliefs. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ Wise words from the University of Dub, who reminded the Man With the Suit that: ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ 'ÿþ<emÿþ>ÿþYou are on the pay roll of Mr Blair. Mr Blair is an evil man.

The climbing wall is also absent from the back of a fag packet architectural plans. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ So many questions, so little answers. It was a fine way to spend three hours on a Wednesday evening, but I left Lambeth Town Hall with even less confidence in my local elected representatives, and genuine fear for the future of the Rec. ÿþ<brÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ</br>ÿþ I walked back to the Rec to be re-united with Mr Wilson.
